I'll try. This is something that I need to do, and what becomes of me is less important than that, but once it is done I will have the luxury of making that my priority again.
It is selfish, but I am a little relieved that you cannot really try to talk me out of it.
You cannot, so you need not feel responsible. I had Emet-Selch telling me he was disappointed I wasn't going to murder the entire time at the station and I never did. I am stubborn.
You haven't disappointed me. And, you can talk to me whenever you want about whatever you want. [...] I just - remember, I have a job to do, so I can't really be your friend.
Ah. [a bit of a rueful smile.] I don't intend to interfere with your duties. I understand that there are likely conditions of your employment that I may not like, and that you cannot show me favoritism in any way.

...if it's a choice you're making on your own, I - it wouldn't be my place to try to talk you out of it anyway.

Whether you can say so or not, I do hope I have not disappointed you. The thought is nice, that I could at least talk to a friend about these things.

Well. I appreciate the reminder. Is that a condition of your employment, or is it intended as advice?

I know you wouldn't interfere with anything. The problem is me, really. The reminder is as much for me as it is for you.

vulpecula, in the other thread: !@^&*#@@$$## DON'T JUST DIE!!

...thank you. It means a lot to hear that.
