On mun reading up, or working on it...

Now this is more like it. No doing things - like research - halfway and expecting them to work out. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, and you were lucky, but it is much better when you're not relying on luck alone.

And no, you definitely shouldn't be getting as emotionally involved. Yes, I'm standing pretty much where you expected me to, even against worse trials than you thought there would be, but that's how it goes.

Now get going on the rest of the work you need to do, you can continue catching up tomorrow. All in good order.

You always do.

And if you need my assistance... you know you only need to ask, and I'll be there.

Thanks, I... I know.

*beat*

You mean you don't have your hands full? I'm sure we'll all find a way to fix that.

My player tells me that I have plenty on my plate, but I can always make time for you, my friend.

... man, this will be a complicated mess. Which just - won't be a first.

*smile* We always manage to get through them somehow, though.

*lips twitch, but then deadpan* Oh yeah. That's why we got all that training, isn't it?
