You've reached Dr. Varker. As a note, yes I do accept bribes in exchange for good behavior.

cw Iago's suicide baiting

[packhounds]

I have noticed that.

He told me that he tried to get you to kill yourself. [The two together are a reason to talk.]

[His mouth clamps shut, realizing that in trying to make it sound harmless, he'd only made it worse.]

In his defense he hardly had to try.

Re: cw Iago's suicide baiting

[packhounds]

Do you think that's a good defense?

[Mikodez doesn't think it's the worst one out there, but he's pretty sure he has different criteria.]

Re: cw Iago's suicide baiting

For him maybe. We are talking about him, aren't we?

I have no interest in explaining my mental health to a stranger, especially when I know you, in your position, know far more than I would appreciate you to without my consent or admission.

Re: cw Iago's suicide baiting

[packhounds]

I am talking about him, yes.

[For better but in this case mostly for worse: he has no other motivation to speak to him about it.]

We do have some licensed therapists onboard, and I hope you've chosen to speak with one of them, but I'm not one of them.

I haven't been asked to by Folgate, I think he is rather allergic to addressing loud emotions, but I have considered.

Whether or not I actually do or not is none of your business.

[Once he hangs up, he'll be able to laugh for ages over the idea that anything is or isn't his business.]

Only so far as it intersects with what is my business [he says agreeably, instead of laughing]. I've spoken with Iago about his retribution, and it seems like you don't have any objections about still speaking to him - but anything that goes over the line again is my concern.

Re: cw Iago's suicide baiting

[Varker's eyes narrow at his phrasing, finding it off in the fact that anything about him might be his business just by association.]

He has been nothing but a gentleman. Are you screening his calls, then?

Re: cw Iago's suicide baiting

[packhounds]

Not at the moment.

Re: cw Iago's suicide baiting

[cameclosest]

[He's going to be treating them as such now, regardless of what this man tells him.]

Right.
