This month seems to be attempting to form some irritating traditions around us. I believe that might be the third flood I've encountered with those effects. One would think they might be more eventful. Better that they're not, but self-control is a virtue so rarely praised on this ship.

Does no one ever question the sudden onset of obsession they feel for certain people? Especially when there has been nothing to build it upon save, perhaps, indifference? Anyone who has been in love knows it never happens that way.

How are you feeling?

You would honestly believe that discussing events at length would serve a purpose beyond humiliation and discomfort? I should think the best way to show that nothing of note has occurred would simply be never to mention the happenings.

If it were nothing of note then you would not be afraid to speak candidly of it.

When another party is involved it is best to ensure confidence.

...Your Inmate is Reaver, oui?

{Pause. Another pause.}

He is.

[A sigh. The Marquis -- he does not like Reaver. At all. The fact that he's trying to be helpful means something.]

And he behaved most strangely during the flood, I'd assume.

{Maybe the Marquis just needs to be more social.}

Quite strangely, indeed.

{Fingernails, they are interesting. So very interesting.}
