I hate when those incident render me a timid rodent accepting of his consequences. I'm always left out of sorts afterwards.

But judging from former months? It could have been considerably worse. [And he greatly appreciates that it wasn't.]

Do you need anything? How have you been doing?

Er. Were you an actual rodent then, or is this metaphor?

majorum_pride December 22 2011, 23:26:18 UTC

A metaphor. Not an actual rodent. Assertiveness is looked upon as an essential trait to my kind. Not exactly constituting aggression, but if one wants to make a point, they'll make it rather than submit.

I see.

Still, a little mouse in a little Christmas scarf would have been quite touching.

I will place that under the category of "considerably worse".

I am... fine. The recent flood and breach were strange and I have been worried about Dracula.

He might have harmed me. Killed me. But he did not. His strength of moral character is extreme. I don't understand why he is still an inmate. And if he still is, what chance have I?

What happened during the breach?

Strength of character and self-control are only part of it. A good portion is looking at your own history and acknowledging some of your actions as mistakes. Even if they seem justifiable, they may be mistakes. In fact, mine were because I thought I was affecting the greater good. My pride in my people blinded me to the eventual consequences of my actions.

One act of self-restraint doesn't redeem you, even if I admire that he possesses it. I'm glad he didn't attack you, or I'm fairly certain I would have had to retaliate. [DON'T EAT HIS INMATE.]

I was... a warped mirror of myself, an Earther. The parallel situation ... defies certain assumptions I had made.

[Clear throat, move on]

He did not harm me, I cannot emphasize enough. He was in extreme pain and would not be forced to attack. I have been worried about him.

[Private] majorum_pride December 23 2011, 05:34:02 UTC

Don't worry. He's refrained from attacking me before, as well. I wish Magog were to exhibit his level of restraint.

What in particular contradicted those assumptions? [Nope, going right back to it.]
