Spoken like an expert.

[tilts his head]

Are you an expert?

[to his credit(?), he looks interested]

[outsidebones]

In torment?

[she has to think about that for a moment.]

I would not describe it as a primary skill set, but I could do better than these demons.

[bookpapers]

I've got some experience, physical and emotional, but never been on the other end of the thumbscrew.

[ranks himself under Harrow... and probably the demons too,]

[outsidebones]

But wouldn't your experience prepare you well to understand what matter of things would be tormenting?

[bookpapers]

It was all kinda -- personalized. [...] Actually, I see your point, yeah.

[outsidebones]

Yes. The personalized touch is absent, is it not? I don't even know what a pizza is, so how am I meant to be offended by bad pizza.

[bookpapers]

And the shoes. Some people really didn't like 'em, but I thought they were fine.

[he also didn't like them, well he didn't think they were crimes against humanity]

The most personalizing I've seen are those profiles.

[outsidebones]

I was indifferent to them. They were better than the jumpsuit. The profiles are obnoxious, but it is part of the problem. So far, they have tried to be mean, and it is...lacking.

[bookpapers]

Maybe it's less 'hurt our feelings' and more 'the other damned souls know stuff about you, and now you gotta talk to them'.

Watch us make bonds, and then exploit them?

[outsidebones]

Aha. So we must avoid making any bonds that could be exploited. Good thinking.

[bookpapers]

[harrow.... is cute... pleading emoji,]

I think professional ones should be okay, right? Like having someone to talk to stuff like this and to open drawers. Nothing to exploit there!

[outsidebones]

[hmm.]

Indeed. Though we had this interaction, I do not particularly care what becomes of you, so there is little risk.

[bookpapers]

[HELP!!! he nods, trying not to grin.]

Very little.

Can I call you Harrow? In a professional acquaintance kind of way?

[outsidebones]

...I suppose you may, if that's easier for you to remember.

[bookpapers]

Thanks. You can call me Lavi, or Junior. Whichever feels more appropriate.

[outsidebones]

...Alright. I will call you Lavi, then.

[bookpapers]

[once they close the last drawer,]

So that's -- [insert exact number of each type of utensil here]. We'll probably lose a whole bunch before the week's even up.

[outsidebones]

It would be wise to take your own set, if you're concerned about that.
