Then you're turning down a learning opportunity, aren't you?

I could probably ask him to be nicer to you. Don't know how well that'll pan out, though.

[suddenly_science]

Does he respond to that kind of request?

Plus I prefer his disdain to at least be overt as possible, it's the SECRET DISDAIN AND/OR PROSPECT OF SECRET DISDAIN that drives me nuts oh man you have no idea what an ass I made of myself boy oh boy

[inchesofevil]

No clue. He'd probably be exasperated and then try to respect it because of the position it's coming from, if I had to guess.

What'd you do?

[suddenly_science]

SIGH. SIGHHHHHHH.

You know what, I don't think I want to relive it.

[uh...]

You don't have to tell me, then. It's okay.

And I promise I won't go behind your back and ask him about it, either.

[suddenly_science]

lol, appreciated.

I will take solace in the fact that he probably gives zero fucks about the Khshathra's weirdness except when it's inconveniencing him directly.

[inchesofevil]

I will say that is probably 100% accurate.
