This is why I never wanted to be stationed in the North. Though, I suppose when one spends their time working in close proximity with fire, such things as an affinity for the cold fall by the wayside.

At least I don't have to worry about heating this place...

[A weak chuckle]

Then again, I'm glad I still have a place to heat.

I think we're all glad for that, sir.

[Oh, is that irritation in her voice? And she hasn't even really gotten started yet.]

...

[Don't think he didn't catch that irritation!]

Okay, whatever it is, I probably didn't do it.

[firebornfidelis]

Really, sir? So that wasn't you bidding beyond your means at the auction the other day?

[ignite_the_sky]

I dropped out of it, didn't I?

[sonvisage]

Funny how we never seem to get what we want, isn't it?

[ignite_the_sky]

I've come to the conclusion that I shouldn't want anything.

[sonvisage]

Shouldn't is a far cry from don't.

[ignite_the_sky]

I never said that I didn't want anything, just that I shouldn't.
