[So he was working in cat noises. And then trying to retract them, how interesting.] I really have to ask, the reception of my question may be met with more of our commonality. Are you conditioned to use cat noises or are those slips?
[........................... Wait what? Did someone just give him an ounce of respect enough to maybe consider he may not like a topic? What? His pause doesn't last long, but wow] I don't enjoy their methods and I view them as one side of a two sided story I can't gain access to the other side's view of. However, a young man here said to me that if I have someone here to protect it should be my priority. That's a paraphrase, but I've made friends here I don't wish to see hurt. After seeing what the opposition had done relentlessly, I can see the need to protect ourselves however fighting a war we're never given both sides to doesn't seem fair or proper.
Force of habit. [ His rep. Down the drain. Thank you, legion of Leijons. ]
Best part of that is you're not the first sucker to think that way. [ Points: granted, however grudgingly. ] A lot of newcomers, much like ourselves, basically get our asses lead up the metaphorical garden path of good intentions and straight into the frontlines based off that friendly outlook alone.
Unfair as the system is, it's figured out an effective way to operate regardless, wouldn't you agree?
[Not so down the drain, just an interesting slip of the tongue.] A habit most unique.
[He's listening, quiet and respectful.] I would absolutely agree. Not only but I enjoy that you're neither sugar coating or pulling punches in telling me what others have found and failed. I've no want to go down their roads. Fight or die is a very strong message, bringing us here to do so while the people native to the countries seem angry about it is a little odd.

That's a type I can't say I haven't tried.
Oh?
What would you prefer we talk about?
[Voice]
It's okay. Purrl Gr- I mean Earl Grey is fine too. [ GODDAMMIT DI ]
At the risk of being too forward, might I suggest the topic of BREW? What are your thoughts?
