Uh. [Yeah, not a topic he is eager to discuss.] Underdeveloped sense of right and wrong, they said. That's not necessarily a disadvantage. [D:]

[quatrain]

Did you memorize them?

I guess it's not a disadvantage if it's like that.

[sequestrated]

Not all of them, Peter, no. [He sounds eternally, ineradicably tired.] That part stuck with me.

[quatrain]

Oh. [ is that a good thing? probably not. hé míng knows this, and also saw simon's initial post, and gliese's later. he doesn't know enough, and doesn't ask questions. ]

Thanks!

[sequestrated]

It's no trouble. [A formality.] You're going to do fine here.

[quatrain]

Haha, I hope so. [ without pausing: ] You're talking weird.

[sequestrated]

Probably, yes. [Aww, he doesn't even bother to lie.]

[quatrain]

[ aww. ] Why, are you sick?

[sequestrated]

No, I'm not sick. [This, on the other hand, is very much up for debate.]

What's wrong with your eyes?

[quatrain]

I read for too long. [ he read them all at once... ] It's just eye strain, don't worry.

[sequestrated]

Reading shouldn't make your eyes hurt.

[Says the kid who's been reading recreationally since he was seven.]

[quatrain]

Ah, my eyes don't hurt so much. Just my head, a headache. You assigned me too much work, teacher.

[sequestrated]

[There is a quiet huff of air over the connection; it sounds like a suppressed laugh, but isn't. This nuance is unlikely to carry through any translation.]

Hah. Uh, well, there's information and information. That's all the sort of thing that will keep you alive. Stick with it.

Uh. Not right now, maybe, if you have a headache. At least you tried.

[quatrain]

Whatever.

[ his tone is joking, but it might not carry over the translator. he doesn't try for english, though. ]

I did try. I'm going to take a nap now.

[sequestrated]

You do that. Goodnight, Peter.

[Napping sounds like a good idea. If not a pleasant one.]
