From:

flawmaturge

That isn't what I asked.

From:

droppedstitch

It's an absurd question.

From:

flawmaturge

It is not.

And you not being willing to answer it *is* an answer.

So for my sake, do *not* step in front of any knives.

I do not want it and neither do you.

Settled, no?

From:

droppedstitch

I expect the same for you.

From:

flawmaturge

And why is that?

From:

droppedstitch

I chose how to end my fucking life the first time. I'd damn sure like to maintain some semblance of that choice.

And I don't want you taking a fucking knife for me.

From:

flawmaturge

I don't recall at any point telling you what to do. You told *me* what to do.

Or do I not get that same choice?

From:

droppedstitch

No. Because I don't get as many choices as you.

From:

flawmaturge

And what does that have to do with the price of fish in Port Praga?

From:

droppedstitch

It means I want to make this choice. So you don't get to jump in front of a knife. I don't get to jump in front of a knife. That's it.

From:

flawmaturge

Can you tell me why?

From:

droppedstitch

You're worse than any fucking Shous.

I believe I already told you.

From:

flawmaturge

No, you gave me a reason to even consider this at all.

Why do you, Istradez Vauhan, have an issue with me, Wiktor Szulski, risking or giving my life for you?

Because it's obvious that you don't mind the concept of giving one's life for someone else. As you said: it was your job. So I would like to know your hesitation here.

Why you don't want it, to be clear. Saying 'I don't want it' is fucking semantics.

From:

droppedstitch

Why do I need to reason for you to not be an idiot?

From:

flawmaturge

So you dedicated your life to idiocy?

That is a terrible argument for why I should listen to you, you realize.

From:

droppedstitch

I don't understand why this is such a sticking point for you.

From:

flawmaturge

We are both similarly mystified, if that is any comfort.

From:

droppedstitch

A bit.

From:

flawmaturge

I will consider agreeing when you can tell me why you hate the idea so much.

It doesn't have to be right this moment, but suffice to say that I will bend for a deeply held conviction more easily than an undefined whim. This isn't unreasonable, no?
