[Filtered to the Wardens]

Is it really normal to go weeks and weeks without being assigned to someone? Has anyone else gone through it? It seems like a waste of time.

[Private to Charles]

A word, please.

[Private to Mozenrath]

I wish to discuss a matter with you.

I'm married.

That isn't necessarily a barrier.

Re: Text - wardens:

[onceandfutureprat]

It is for me.

Re: Text - wardens:

Is your married partner Merlin? You spend a great deal of time together.

Re: Text - wardens:

[onceandfutureprat]

What? Merlin is my manservant. Guinevere is in Camelot.

Re: Text - wardens:

[i_like_your]

Oh.

That must be nice for you.

Re: Text - wardens:

[onceandfutureprat]

Not really, he's a complete idiot.

Re: Text - wardens:

[i_like_your]

Your assumption is invalid.

Re: Text - wardens:

[onceandfutureprat]

Are we talking about the same Merlin?

Re: Text - wardens:

[i_like_your]

There is only one.

He lacks sufficient spatial awareness and limb co-ordination, but has not proven mentally deficient.

Re: Text - wardens:

[onceandfutureprat]

That is a difference of opinion it seems.

Re: Text - wardens:

Warden Pendragon, has it occurred to you that your lack of assignment might be due to exhibited notions of prejudice? The forces which govern our residence here have been shown to be observant, even if they do not often engage in meaningful conversation.

For example, you identify Merlin as, not a friend or associate, but by his former obligations to you. A relationship typified by dominance and submission, rather than equality.

[Well someone just got schooled :c]

You think I don't have an Inmate because I call Merlin my manservant. Which he is. He's other things too but you asked why he's around a lot.

[It's therapy, Arthur. Therapy...]

I illustrate it as a possibility.

Merlin is here to operate in the capacity of a warden, not servant and should be referred to as such. Simply put, why would a prospective inmate see you as an example to aspire to, when you rely upon others to take care of your own affairs? What do you have to offer them?

If squandering your personal time is a concern, offering your services to other wardens would at least be a valuable learning experience. Perhaps Merlin, himself?

[He's just shit at being a servant, alright, leave him alone :c] Merlin is currently staying with me as he recovers from the death toll.

Re: Text - wardens:

Then it's an offer you can make when he has recovered.
