[ There's a pause as Dorian thinks things over before he admits, ]

I'm going to say something that makes me sound like an absolute bastard. But if that happens again, let her fight him and lose.

[ A pause. ]

You mind explaining why? Because I can’t exactly promise that Sephiroth wouldn’t kill her in a scenario like that.

Trixie is a darling. I love her so much. She's wonderful and talented and thinks far too little of herself. She also has literally no impulse control and a nasty tendency to pick fights and double down instead of walking away. Obviously I'd like to help her find some of that impulse control before she does something stupid that gets herself hurt—again. But sometimes, you have to keep doing the same stupid thing over and over again in order to realize how fruitless it is.

[ Another pause. Then- ]

If something happens where I can see it, I'll let her fight and lose. But I won't let her die.

[ There's a pause before Dorian nods. ]

Understood. That works for me. I'll mention something about this on her inmate ledger so that the others know about it as well. [ Another pause before, ] Assuming people actually read the damn thing.

I read them. And write in them.

I honestly think it’s a great resource so I hope a lot of Wardens make use of it.

[brushoff]

I think it's a useful resource as well. Which is why it wouldn't surprise me if you told me that a lot of wardens don't use them.

We're all quite terrible at communication here on the HMS Poor Choices.
