I've yet to see much use to permanent assignments, in truth, but at least thou art acting in thine own interests in such an event. These places are but stopgaps in the event of violence or material needs on an inmate's part. Neither troubles me.

I always act in my own interests. And if my own interests happen to coincide with yours, all the better.

And perhaps you've yet to see much use to permanent assignments because you've never had one yourself. You don't know what you're missing.

You might not see much in the pairing system but surely you see some value in gossip. Everyone does.

Thou art welcome to dine, at any rate. I'll not chase thee away.

In that case, I'll see you at dinner.

sorry, I keep losing the notifs for this thread

[No response, because he has no manners set aside for everyday purposes. But he is... present? He's in the dining room, anyway, a place he only rarely wanders on his own.]
