Do you ever get the nagging feeling that all you're doing here is biding your time, waiting? That no matter what your plans are they will be constantly thwarted and nothing will come of them?

I'm not meaning that nothing happens here as we're all constantly caught up in mysterious events and there is often violence but do you feel your own progress is stalled? Whether you are an inmate or a warden...

Relying on other people was never something I was good at.

I will be in the library for most of the day if anyone wishes to see me.

Maybe I am. I always had a penchant for poking bears.

Keep it up and you may get more than you bargined for.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

Trust me, I bargain generously. You can't threaten me, trust me.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Do you really think I could harm you?

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

You have the capability to, you know that, I know that.

I'd advise against it, as it'd be tantamount to throwing that power out the window, but it's your decision to make, not mine.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

No threats but I do feel like doing something.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

You have a job, there's enough things here to entertain you, go, go do. Don't complain to me.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Just because you had a hard time recently, you don't have to imagine everything is a complaint.

I don't see many things that are very entertaining here but I was planning on staying in the library for the day, as I said. To read and research.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

You do seem to be quite insistent - elsewhere, if not to me - on implying that I like to 'delay' any of efforts to get you to graduating.

Better I read it as a complaint than an insult.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Did I say anything about graduating? You delay everything for your rules. A simple potion...

And aren't you glad I am so open and honest. I'm sure you wouldn't want me to be saying things behind your back instead.

he really is just in a terrible mood all over.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

No, but it's how it reads. My rules are there for a good reason, and they're far, far more generous than you'd get from most quarters.

Don't tell me what I should be glad about.

And Gellert is in a provoking mood

I know, I know. You're wonderful, Hix. Haven't I told you that enough today?

this is not going to end well.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

I'm not after you kissing my arse. I just wish you wouldn't consistently complain about waiting for things that most people around here don't even get.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Consistantly? I believe I may have actually complained twice in over three months. Talking about it is not complaining.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

...you're constantly asking after it.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be if it had happened sooner.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

You don't decide when things happen.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Obviously.
