To be perfectly honest, I don't. I had this view when I first came here that I'd be assigned someone that could...assist me, consult with me. Jam. But I'm finding that while I'm making at least one new friend every month, four weeks just isn't long enough for a real rapport to be built, you know?
I agree. And it's difficult for me to take projects seriously when I'm transferred from assignment to assignment so quickly.
At least we were given the benefit of knowing each other beforehand, but I think it's potentially because the Admiral wishes to see how we get on with one another before he decides to go the more permanent route.
Truthfully? I don't think it's either. We could request a permanent pairing, but I've never seen it done. But I hardly think it's a random occurrence either.
[He sits down in the offered chair, gesticulating with his hands! >B[! ]
It's not that I think I would. It's just...you're committing to a potentially years-long relationship. You don't want to end up with someone who can't help you.
You don't seem especially incapable. In fact, you've probably been more attentive than a lot of people when I've had a mind to speak up on the network or socialize in person.
You enjoy a good game, but it doesn't look like you know it most times, which is interesting. You fluster easily, which is cute.
[He makes an ill, high-pitched noise in the back of his throat, indignant and embarrassed that this is the second inmate of his to call him cute. It's mortifying. He's a decorated veteran of an evil empire!]
...That all aside, Grandmaster, I unpaired with Jedao last month and I was getting the sense that you deserve more of a fresh start with someone who doesn't have...I don't know the word for it.
I have no idea. Most likely not. But it's not a very good track record; the warden who helped graduate me was demoted last year. There may be a flaw somewhere in this lineage.
[He looks a bit skeptical about the Grandmaster's first comment, because how can the man know that after a few hang-outs? But he gives a serious, immediate nod back at the second comment]
Yes, of course. That was never in question. But I may not be the right tool for the very specific procedure.
What, because you didn't mesh with one Inmate? [ Who's not me? ] Do you think you could throw yourself at any one of us on the ship and it'll be a perfect fit? I mean [ Shrug. ] I'm not claiming to be an expert on people, but that's people.
[He's been worn down. Hux, still eyeing the Grandmaster skeptically for any sign that he's being played with, finally takes out his communicator to write the Admiral a message]

It's more of a social visit, food and conversation.
Can I ask you what you expect from me these next four weeks?

And am I missing something? Do people request permanent pairings or is it all random?

Re: [Spam]
I don't - you barely know me! I could be a terrible warden for you! You have to - to vet people properly!
[Spam]
That's very interesting. Why do you think you would be a terrible Warden for me?

I'm not seeing a downside.

What? Baggage? Are the other Wardens going to say you have loose morals? Or just hope that your next match is a better one for you?

[ You're nice. You watch TV with him. He's also pretty sure you'd be easy to talk into letting him do...pretty much anything he wants. ]
I mean, unsorted. Fine. But sometimes personalities clash. Not everybody can be me.
And you want to do a good job, don't you? Then you've got just as much of a shot as any of the others, right?
Re: [Spam]
Yes, of course. That was never in question. But I may not be the right tool for the very specific procedure.

Re: [Spam]
Are you sure? There may be other wardens you like better, ones more suitable to your unique situation. And the Admiral may say no.

Re: [Spam]
I like you as well.

It's done. I'm not sure if he'll go for it, mind. To my knowledge it's never been asked before.
