[ There's no reaction to the emphasis, or to the crackling. If anything, he sees this as some sort of progress. ]

I can't speak for anyone else, but I know that I do. I do right now, and I will continue to. Nothing you can do will change that.

So where does that leave us?

[credere]

Nowhere.

[granularity]

So am I bothering you right now?

[credere]

Yes.

[granularity]

So 'bothering' is more like making you think about things you don't like and less about bullying or hurting people around you? Or is it both?

[credere]

Stop talking to me.

[granularity]

Ah, so it's mostly the first one. Okay. Good to know.

[ He looks into the camera. ]

Just so we're clear, you could have put down the communicator at any time. But I would like to know: are you planning on killing me?

Just curious.

[ He doesn't actually look concerned. But he does realize one other thing.]

And you never actually answered my question.

[credere]

Why did you ask if you're sure you know the answer? Why did you even talk to me at all if you don't care what I have to say?

[granularity]

I'm not sure. And I do want to know the answer from you.

[ He tips his head towards the camera. ]

But since you won't answer me, I have to try and guess and work from there. I don't mind being corrected, but the only one who can do that is you and you don't care to.

[credere]

Don't talk to me again. Anywhere. Ever again. Is that clear enough?

[granularity]

[ He nods his head to the camera. ]

I'll honor your request to the best of my abilities, as long as it doesn't interfere in the safety or well being of the rest of the barge.

[ Which is the qualifications he'll set on just about anything, ones he figured should be unspoken but apparently not with this one.]

Though you still didn't answer about intending to kill me. Or should I just look forward to that surprise?

[credere]

[...he's not gonna start anything unless you talk to him, dude.]
