...Would you be willing to do an exercise so you can believe me?

Re: Video

[stressingwitchface]

I..suppose.

Re: Video

[abrightboy]

I want you to do something kind for someone else this week that doesn't benefit you directly, then come have another hot chocolate with me and tell me about it.

Re: Video

[stressingwitchface]

Oh.

Who?

Re: Video

[abrightboy]

Anyone except me.

Re: Video

[stressingwitchface]

Do I get extra credit if it's someone I hate?

Re: Video

[abrightboy]

Absolutely.

Re: Video

[stressingwitchface]

Perfect.

[She sips her hot chocolate, kicking her chicken feet back and forth happily]

Re: Video

[abrightboy]

I have a question for you.

Re: Video

[stressingwitchface]

Of course, Warden.

Re: Video

[abrightboy]

How do you feel about me reading your file?

Re: Video

[stressingwitchface]

I'd prefer it if you did. How else are you meant to know my graduation path?

Re: Video

[abrightboy]

Your file doesn’t really spell that out, though it may give me some insight. But it’s personal, so I didn’t want to do it without your consent.

Re: Video

[stressingwitchface]

Graduation is the most personal thing for an inmate, isn't it? By all means.

Re: Video

[abrightboy]

That’s true. I’m very happy to be working on yours.

Re: Video

[stressingwitchface]

And I'm very happy to prove myself worthy of your time. Whatever you need from me, by all means.

Re: Video

[abrightboy]

We'll start with your Good Deed and see where we go from there.

Re: Video

[stressingwitchface]

...A question, Warden Bright.

If I am doing this in the service of my own graduation, wouldn't any deed be considered selfish, even if on the surface it's done for selfless reasons?

Re: Video

[abrightboy]

Only peripherally, because you’re doing it to understand me. And furthering our working relationship only may aid in your graduation.

Re: Video

[stressingwitchface]

Just wanted to make sure.

I'll be off to think of something, then. I'll report back in a week's time.

Re: Video

[abrightboy]

Fair enough. It was a very astute question, Inmate Kikimora. And… in the meantime, if you need anything, you can call me sooner, okay?

Re: Video

[stressingwitchface]

Thank you.

[She's flushed with pride, heart practically singing. She has a permanent warden! One of the few people she actually likes!

Taking her cup with her, she gives a formal bow to Malcolm and scurries out the door]
