I12DT - She can keep the hat

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:18 pm

"That's rather up to you, Miss Bludwynd. If you don't understand at all that what you did was wrong... I'm not sure what options I have."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:20 pm

"There wasn't another way, Morrigan. She never would have come otherwise. And even then, she still ruined it."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:21 pm

"There wasn't any other way than treating her as your personal puppet?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:25 pm

"You STILL don't get it. All I did was give her a strong suggestion to come. I didn't harm her, I didn't do nasty things to her. I got her to attend a meeting."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:28 pm

"You controlled her. You forced her to put on makeup, dress the way you wanted, go where you wanted, and you tried to hide it from me."

"You don't get to play innocent here. You had to know what you were doing was wrong, or else you wouldn't have tried to cover your tracks."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:30 pm

"I knew that you wouldn't understand, you're right. I hoped to avoid all this until Nailah understood..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:31 pm

"Do you know what that sounds like? To me? To anyone?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:37 pm

"When someone needs help, you don't quibble about what other people think of you."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:39 pm

"When someone needs help, you offer."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:44 pm

"Not when they need it and refuse it."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:45 pm

"And you think it's your place to decide that?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:47 pm

"In this case? Yes. Yes it was. I don't care what you do to me, or how much I suffer -- yes it was."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:48 pm

"Is suffering what you're expecting?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:50 pm

"...Well, yes. I failed and angered a goddess; what else is there?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:51 pm

"You're talking to the headmistress of a school right now. That's how it has to be, aye?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:53 pm

"This does not concern a student and her teacher. This is a mystical issue, and should be dealt with as such. Do not...don't do that to me."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:04 pm

"You don't want the goddess to answer. You might think you do, but you don't know what you're asking for."

"No, there have to be boundaries here, Miss Bludwynd."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:14 pm

"I will not let you box my identity away so easily. I will not. I've come too far."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:19 pm

"You don't have the right to define how I deal with you. We're bound by rules, and I intend to deal with you bythe rules so that my emotions over what you've done here don't cause me to do something we'll both regret."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:20 pm

"I don't regret my actions, only the outcome."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:22 pm

"Then I'm afraid you're the one who isn't understanding."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:29 pm

"I understand that, as headmistress, you feel you need to punish me for what you assume happened, and that you want this to be over soon."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:30 pm

"And what am I to do, when you refuse to admit any wrongdoing, and mock the entire process?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:34 pm

"I haven't done anything wrong. I tried to show Nailah something, and she profaned our meeting place. That's what happened.

Yes, I tried to make sure she would behave appropriately, and I failed."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:36 pm

"This is a violation. You brought her there against her will, and you tried to punish her for mostly not wanting to be there. In so doing, you managed to get her in a blind panic. You hurt her. If you insist on denying that, then my options become very limited."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:38 pm

"Alright, yes! I paniced, and she got hurt. It was never my intention. It would never have happened if she had been open minded to begin with, but it happened, and it's my fault. Is that what you wanted to hear?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:39 pm

"If you're just going to patronize me, then no."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:41 pm

"Morrigan, I never intended anyone to get hurt. Never. I just wanted her to sit there and see things from my perspective. That's all that was supposed to happen."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:51 pm

"This is what happens when you back someone into the corner. You didn't think this through, and you were a bully, pure and simple."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:55 pm

"It...it made sense at the time."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:56 pm

"You go on about what I could do, what I could do to you, to others. What have I done?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 11:59 pm

"You? NOthing. You haven't done anything. It speaks volumes about your control."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Aug 03, 2013 12:01 am

"Restraint. Ethics. You've shown neither."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Aug 03, 2013 12:03 am

"I understand," she sighed.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Aug 03, 2013 12:04 am

"And that's why you don't want the goddess to answer. The goddess doesn't have to show restraint, but the headmistress has to live with everyone else."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Aug 03, 2013 12:05 am

"I think I understand that, too," she nodded.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Aug 03, 2013 12:07 am

"When we think we're beyond all that, that's when we put a foot wrong. I don't think it's healthy that you've let this define yourself so thoroughly that you'd think you had a right to do this."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Aug 03, 2013 12:08 am

"It's hard not to let it define you when others are trying to define you by its absence."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Aug 03, 2013 12:11 am

"Is that what this was about?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Aug 03, 2013 12:13 am

"Yes. But it's over now."
