And of course a perfectly good walk is ruined by hard rain. Sometimes, the CES is just a little too real for my liking. The garden is coming along nicely, however. A bit balmy in there for my tastes, but there you have it.

[Private to Jack Harkness]

How are you feeling, cherub?

I believe a full discussion is in order, if everyone is able.

Aye, sir, I am.

Then the matter of visitation should be handled.

Re: filter - Sounds good. Lemme track it.

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

It should be.

filter - sounds good to me.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Aye, it should. I think, perhaps, the best and clearest way to go about this is to make our opinions most clear on the matter, I shall do so now, and then perhaps you should, and Judas and Iago can comment further from there. For I believe if we do otherwise, misconceptions may occur.

I have, to be honest, ceased to see the utility in preventing them, on any level. I believe that it has reached such a point where any potential positives from limiting them are outweighed by the negative effect. I believe such a punishment or act, or however we wish to phrase it, at least, from what I have seen from Judas, results in a continuing cycle of deterioration and severely does hinder my attempts to deal with, and help him, in numerous other areas. I do not think this kind of restriction works as a way of getting him to reconsider any behaviour of his. It is simply a method which I find ineffective.

That being said, I would wish to hear your position on the matter and, if you disagree, what maybe considered a positive effect of maintaining any restriction on them visiting each other, for I am willing to consider it, I simply do not see one at the minute. I shall leave the matter for the three of you to respond, and consider from there.

I have to say, Sexby, that until recently I was completely in agreement with you and would have been happy to move the matter forward from there. I hesitate now in the wake of my most recent conversation with Monsieur Iscariot because I see a fundamental problem with rewarding tantrums. Now I am more of the mind that unsupervised visitation will be contingent on the behavior of both Inmates. And when good conduct prevails, my arrangement with my Inmate is to remain that he must remain active on the Barge and inform me when such visits take place -- as well as continue his talks with me in private.

Re: filter - Strikes not readable, he's trying to be civil.

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

I didn't throw a "tantrum." I don't see your logic in wanting to break him down so he feels like he's nothing, even striking him. Physical violence isn't a solution to an inmate who's angered you. I spoke with you in the same way you spoke to me. I see your condescending attitude as completely unnecessary.

And now I see you using our relationship as nothing but a toy than can be taken away when we act up and absolutely ridiculous. If you will abuse the connection we have with each other than I would rather we not have it than for it to be used against each other like you plan.

...if I did speak out of turn, in your incorrect opinion, it was because I had been separated from him for three weeks without even so much as an update as to when said separation would end. In trying to alert the wardens to the injustice issue, I hoped someone could potentially reason with you when my fuse was much to short to do so properly rather than just swat me down as an uppity inmate.

I am as well.

[boeshane_boy]

I've been worse.

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I'm pleased to hear that. I apologize for being short with you during the flood -- and matters that came after, unfortunately, did not make me any more ready to address the issue until now.

[Private]

[boeshane_boy]

That's, ah...that's all right. Probably needed to hear some of what you had to say.

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

That doesn't make it less impertinent.

[Private]

[boeshane_boy]

Maybe. But you strike me as pretty impertinent anyway.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Is it true you served in the Seven Years War?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Quite true.

How are you, cheri?

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

That's pretty awesome. You should tell me about it, the book I read it in didn't go into too much detail.

I've...been better. How are you?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

The feeling is mutual, Claire. I'll be glad if things can go a week without running amiss.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I haven't had a good week since I left for home.

Listen, I've been wanting to talk to you, if you're willing?

[preachyrose.livejournal.com]

The rain can sometimes be refreshing, especially if it has the taste of the sea on it.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

You may have a point. However, it is a little too dangerous for me to run with Renate when there is mud everywhere.

[preachyrose.livejournal.com]

Very true. Mud can be a rather formidable deterrent, especially with a dog.

Was she not able to have a proper run today, then?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

We had to keep to the main deck.

[madrassa.livejournal.com]

The rain was quite unexpected. I'm afraid I've ruined one of my better garments for eternity.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

A tragedy if I ever heard of one, Mademoiselle.

[madrassa.livejournal.com]

I apologize for the idle commentary -- my name is Inara Serra.

I hope it isn't too forward to compliment you on your manner of speech. I find French to be intensely beautiful when spoken.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Then I shall have to compose something for you, mon impératrice timide, to reflect your own distinction.

I have seen and heard of you before, Inara Serra and have often wondered why I have not pursued conversation.
