I know.

[confirmed_bachelor]

I don't even want it from him, save situations like this. Where he's gone where I can't follow.

[depraved]

. . . That was the point, you realize.

[confirmed_bachelor]

For me not to follow.

[depraved]

As unpleasant and damning as it sounds, yes.

[confirmed_bachelor]

He ought to know me better than that.

[depraved]

Perhaps.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Surely he does. He knows most people off the street well enough.

[depraved]

Doctor, you know the most common accusation there is?

"You're not human".

[confirmed_bachelor]

...

Ah. Yes. Certainly familiar with that.

[depraved]

There is a difference between knowing the logical reaction people will take. And it's always disappointing to know such things before-hand.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Then I'm different? Or disappointingly not different?

[depraved]

No. It helps that you are the few who do not react accordingly.

[confirmed_bachelor]

[...slight nod]

I suppose it's because I like you.

[depraved]

. . . Yes. Apparently.

[confirmed_bachelor]

If you haven't figured that out by now, i would be rather disappointed.

[depraved]

True.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Anyway. I'll go speak with Dellen.

[depraved]

All right.
