[Center][b][i][color=a0410d]Cabal Works While Also Sniping At Einar![/color][/i][/b][/center] Cabal paused. Slowly, he put down his pen and turned to give Einar a blank stare. Was this boy serious? [color=a0410d]"I don't believe anybody asked for [i]your[/i] opinion either, [i]Einar[/i],"[/color] sniped Cabal, [color=a0410d]"and yet for some reason you've decided to give it anyway. Isn't it funny how convenient opinions are so long as you're the one giving it?"[/color] He picked up his pen and resumed his work, but continued sniping at Einar. [color=a0410d]"And that was not an opinion. It is a statement of [i]fact[/i]: Or do you mean to tell me you needed the help of [i]three[/i] people of varying skill? Ah, but as you stated, you are not after their [i]help[/i]; you are after their [i]affection[/i]. To that end, you've taken them away from work they could have done, for nothing more than to fulfill your desire to forge bonds, however tenuous. "There is time for work, and there is time to forge bonds. To mistake one for the other is not a "little" selfishness, it is selfishness in the extreme, and I do not [i]tolerate[/i] selfishness. "And if you truly want to understand me, then I'll tell you something: my first enemy was my mother and sisters, whom I [i]tolerated[/i] for ten years. In comparison, being around you for half that time is paradise."[/color] One quick glance at the book and Cabal nodded, satisfied with his work, before turning to Mira. [color=a0410d]"Can you check this please? I'm afraid English isn't my first language. I've done what I could, but grammar wise I am unsure to how it translates."[/color] [@13org]-[@ViannaNight]
