I am... at a loss

If you are speaking of my instruction, the point was to demonstrate the folly, the irrationality, of hatred. You are aware of this. You aided me in the speech.

[reservedempath]

Well, of that I understand... I wouldn't say I exactly aided in the colloquial part of it, but as I had said, I did lend my aid. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm exactly... blind, Cyrus.

[will_be_god]

You knew of the subject matter. You knew my intention to pull examples from those present.

[reservedempath]

...I'm not in the position to question your methods and reasoning, but are you sure you should have done it the way you did? I think I might have...

[This really isn't her right to say, is it?]

...Nothing. Never mind.

[will_be_god]

Finish that thought. You believed it important enough that I read the first part of that sentence. Now conclude it.

[reservedempath]

It isn't my class. I am not in a position to say these things to you. That doesn't mean, however, that I won't think on it myself.

[will_be_god]

You are my assistant. I appointed you as such. I value your word...provided it is free from irrationality.

[reservedempath]

I was under the impression you define everything about me to be irrational, Cyrus.

[will_be_god]

Not everything. I would not have appointed you to such a position if I believed you to be a lost cause.

[reservedempath]

I am forever confused by you. You adore me and despise me all the same. I'm not sure you know what you want, aside from using me to obtain your desired result.

Or perhaps you aim to show me what a glorious life I can lead if we were to share it together.

[will_be_god]

What a sentimental statement. Although I am unsure if you are being sarcastic.

[reservedempath]

Which do you suppose it is?

[will_be_god]

First, define "together".

[reservedempath]

I think I prefer it when I make you run in circles, trying to figure out what I mean.

[will_be_god]

You take delight in being intentionally murky?

[reservedempath]

With you, yes. You torment me. It seems fair to torment you in return.
