[osreborn]

I questioned why people trust who they trust.

[seeress]

What did you say exactly?

[osreborn]

That. Nothing maniacal.

[seeress]

But it was enough to warrant her calling you a "villain".

[osreborn]

It was rather uncalled for.

[seeress]

You are the victim.

[osreborn]

Right.

[seeress]

You are of no fault whatsoever.

[osreborn]

Right.

[seeress]

Mm-hmm.
You never answered my original question.
Is it such a bad thing to care about the well-being of a minor?

[osreborn]

Of course not.

[seeress]

So what do you think I should do then?
Should I accept her offer?

[osreborn]

Why are you asking me?

[seeress]

Should I not be asking you?

[osreborn]

You're capable of making a decision, aren't you?

[seeress]

So I just shouldn't care about your opinion then, Norman. Hmm?

[osreborn]

I suppose not. If you accept do let me know so I can adjust your work schedule.

[seeress]

Oh, of course.
And you would have to arrange my continuing internship with my guardian, if that becomes a thing.

[osreborn]

Oh, it wouldn't be me. I'd pass you to someone in shipping and receiving, or maybe just bounce you to bringer of coffee. Children of people I don't care for don't get near any sensitive research.

[seeress]

Just because she called you a "villain".

[osreborn]

"Just."

[seeress]

It seems like a rather insignificant reason to hold a grudge over.
That's all.

[osreborn]

If she thinks I'm a "villain," Rose, I won't put up with her meddling in anything of mind that could be considered sensitive. That would just be foolish.

[seeress]

I think you're being paranoid.

[osreborn]

No. I'm simply not being stupid.
