Hm, I thought these pairings were different every month. Well, that's alright. I'm told my warden might have a way to get the Admiral to change the view outside my windows? It's simplistic, but.. I miss the countryside.
I see. Well, that wouldn't in theory be a terrible thing, but it might be best to get to know each other better. I know so little about you, last month just.. got away from me.
[He should have checked in. Wasn't that how it was supposed to go?]
... Thank you. I suppose if it's allowed, I'll find out soon enough.
Some people have a harder time with Breaches than others. [They should have checked in. They had done it with Root, after all, and they are responsible for Angela, not the other way around.] My job is not necessarily to get to know you, and you have no obligation to get to know me. This can be anything you want.
Is there any harm in getting to know a fellow passenger? Warden and inmate aside, it's a wide, wide universe and I've seen very little of it. Of course that can get a bit tedious and I understand if that's not something you're interested in.
Getting to know others is useful. [They do want to be more professional with their temporary inmates, but everyone here is still a person.] You are primarily my inmate, but I do want to get to know you personally.
If it helps, you can think of me as not being your inmate. No obligation, no worries.
[Should he be trying to set someone else's mind at ease? Or is that getting too pushy? He rubs the scruff of goatee briefly, thoughtful.]
Then next month when we're matched with someone else we still have a foundation. With the .. emotional disconnect you spoke of before, do you enjoy meals? Maybe I can make you something.
I was both an inmate and a friend to my warden, so I should be able to navigate a relationship like that again. [They understand why Rawne had found it awkward, even if they are disconnected from the emotions behind it.]
I do enjoy food. My body can go without it, so enjoyment is its only purpose for me.
'Anything' is far too broad a category. Let me see what I can do, give me a couple days. I don't have many strings to pull yet.
[But it'll be worth the added effort. Soup and pastries are also pretty broad, he'd have to take some guesses. Sweet, savory?
It isn't til he gets up to head to investigate what he might find that the change in the windows is noticed, to the forests and arched trees of Banora.]
..Huh. That didn't take long. Thank you.
[He sounds wistful. That's a view that doesn't exist anymore, elsewhere.]
I tend to prefer sweet pastries. [The first time they had been to the dining hall, they had essentially hidden themself behind a pile of danishes and muffins.] Any kind of soup would be fine — I like it because of the warmth it provides, not the flavor. [Eating soup feels similar to affection, but the sensation of warmth in their chest is slightly stronger.]
The view is more like a video or photo than the real thing, [they clarify.] Actually expanding your cabin is not something that we can do before you graduate.

They usually are, but there were a few times when I was paired with the same person more than once. One of those people became my permanent Warden.
I can request that, yes. [And they do.]

“Angela”? Thanks autocorrect

Mine does that constantly.

[Food was a social bonding method the universe over!]
Do you have preferences? I'll see if Archer will let me go off menu a bit.
no subject
[They may use it as a social bonding method, eventually.]
Pastries and soup are nice, but anything will do.
[If Angeal looks out the window, he will see that the view has been changed to the countryside from his world.]
