[Spam] Because the twit doesn't check his comm unit enough :/

[The Doctor glances up from the main desk, having been doing a routine check on the computer filing systems. He quirks a brow with something almost like a grin before standing up fully and nodding.]

I ought to shunt you for the nonce, you know- there's no telling whether or not you've learned your lesson. You also happen to be, however, my most reliable employee. If I make certain to keep the others involved from the library, have I got your word you'll behave in here? And that you won't go conspiring against anyone while you're here?

[Ardent sighed a little,] Well, the Master's gone, did you know? As for Arthas... he's crazier than expected, so I doubt that'll happen.

You can't kick me out, Doctor, come on. Otherwise you're relying on who? Randal? To do a good job.

Re: [Spam]

[a_bit_put_upon]

I don't recall definitively kicking you out, actually. In fact, I rather believe I insinuated you could stay, under that condition.

[Pained grimace.]

And to be honest, I don't rely on Randal for a single thing here, aside from making my job more strenuous.

Re: [Spam]

[deepdowndark]

I was pre-empting matters. I'm glad you're letting me stay. [Ray probably wouldn't like that when he got back, but Ray could stuff it as far as Ardent was concerned. These books needed him.]

I don't see why you don't kick him out. He's most disrespectful to the books.

[Private] - I'm going to say yes, though systems of writing are not shown in the game.

[nehraa_beresaad]

Yes.

Re: [Private] - fantasy universe crossover for the win. still Dwarfish.

[deepdowndark]

I will ask you a direct question. I want a direct answer. I will not hold it against you if you have.

Did you translate for Ray?

[Private - Dwarfish]

[nehraa_beresaad]

I have had no dealings with this 'Ray'.

Re: [Private - Dwarfish]

[deepdowndark]

I hold you to this word, but thank you, sir.

[breakmychest]

Oh, is that what all that fuss was about? You whining about how you don't want to be rehabilitated?

[deepdowndark]

Not whining. I was pointing out that my supposed need for 'rehabilitation' showed a lack of understanding of my culture, and that other inmates were in the same position. I was aiming to create a position where people stopped trying to rehabilitate me when it wasn't necessary.

As this has proved.

[breakmychest]

Bollocks. Just cause something's cultural doesn't mean it's right. What did you do? Torture? Slaughter? Enslavement?

[deepdowndark]

None of the above.

Private but not Dwarven, because he doesn't know the word. So eat that, bitches.

[darknessb4me]

...cookies?

Private

[deepdowndark]

I believe that is the Admiral's usual response to dissent.

[Private to Ardent and Five]

[bybloodandhonor]

Whenever you and the Doctor have time and after I've secured Arthas in his room.

Re: [Private to Ardent and Five]

[deepdowndark]

Very well. Get back to me.
