Mm. I suppose.

@Threads of Fate

Do you have a different suggestion?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm. What if you run into a cold-blooded victim?

@Threads of Fate

Then I either solve the mystery another way, or they're out of luck until I get to that part of my studies.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm. What species have you learned about so far?

@Threads of Fate

Warm-blooded ones and humanoids, mostly. Dad said that there were too many kinds of creatures to study them all in a lifetime, so I'd have to specialize to learn everything.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You mean those types of puzzles, or those types of sequences?

@Threads of Fate

I mean the genetic sequences aren’t much harder than sequence puzzles.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm. What kinds?

@Threads of Fate

Mostly the command-type ones, like armies or code.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm.
*A moment later*
What are you learning?

@Threads of Fate

The basics. We got to genetics and sequences, but those seem pretty easy so far and aren't too far off from other puzzles that I've done.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Do you?

@Threads of Fate

Sure. It's mostly background learning for later mysteries. Including yours.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm. I don't know what you're studying specifically enough to ask about a particular part. You told me that it's less interesting than what you find most interesting. I don't know what you expected me to reply with.

@Threads of Fate

I don't know, maybe "Why is it less interesting?" Or "Do you like it anyway?"

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I thought you would continue your opinion.

@Threads of Fate

There are so many ways to ask me to keep talking about it. Maybe ask what I think about some part of it. Or tell me to continue on about something. Anything other than—
*Coughs and speaks in monotone*
"Heard."

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I asked a question, you replied. I gave an affirmation, and you decided that I ended the conversation. I don't know what about that is one-sided.

@Threads of Fate

What's one-sided about you acknowledging that you heard me and giving me nothing else to talk about? What exactly did you think I would say next?
