private call.

[dragonvariation]

Of course not. I am no equal to those villains of yours, just as you are above them.

private call.

[kingofrooks]

Ra's. [ Softly. ]

I asked: are you sick of yourself yet? Possible answers: yes, and no.

private call.

[dragonvariation]

You asked me to answer the original question, Bruce. You ought to be more specific.

Am I sick of myself yet? Yes, of course.

private call.

[kingofrooks]

Pardon me, I should have said 'previous'.

It's ironic how you can say you're sick of yourself while still having such a damn superior complex.

private call.

[dragonvariation]

It is the human condition. You should know that better than any.

Do you not have a superiority complex of your own? I've seen the way you speak to people.

private call.

[kingofrooks]

I prefer to call it 'hypocrisy'.

[ That answers both parts. And yes, he sounds really wry there. ]

private call.

[dragonvariation]

I am nothing if not a hypocrite, and therein lies the rub. Someone must be responsible. Someone must act, when it comes to the improvement of the world, and we both act, Bruce, in our own ways.

"The true hypocrite is one who ceases to perceive his deception; the one who lies with sincerity."

private call.

[kingofrooks]

Do you think that if you repeat your point enough times in one conversation, I would eventually be so numbed that I start to agree?

private call.

[dragonvariation]

You alone are the one stuck on one particular point, almost as though it's the most important to you.

Tell me--does killing them help?

private call.

[kingofrooks]

I didn't kill them.

private call.

[dragonvariation]

Not yourself. Was it freeing to watch them die? All those parts of yourself destroyed, until there was nothing left but function. I would have felt it theraputic.

private call.

[kingofrooks]

No. It really wasn't. [ Gone completely flat. ]

Why would you think it's therapeutic?

private call.

[dragonvariation]

Wouldn't your life be so much easier with all those complications cut out of it?

private call.

[kingofrooks]

You should know my answer.

private call.

[dragonvariation]

Mm, but it isn't half as interesting as hearing you relate it yourself, is it?
