I come to you and say I want you to keep an eye out for the possibility that I'm losing control of myself, that I've been brainwashed, that there's someone else in the driver's seat of my head. And you're surprised that I don't want someone else doing anything with my head that I don't have control of?

You wanna think about connecting the dots a little, or what.

You don't need to keep me in the dark about what you're looking for to do that.

And that's the kind of game I'm not here for.

If that's what you wanna call it. Sure.

I don't care.

I'm not scared of you, Malcolm.

And if I was, that wouldn't be reassuring. Anyone can say "I'm not going to hurt you".

We're talking about a hypothetical situation where someone's scared of you. You're a pussycat. If they need to be told you're not going to hurt them, they're not the type to take you at your word.

From: [personal profile] cactusy
If we're talking about me again, you couldn't hurt me physically because I'd snap you like a twig. You couldn't hurt me mentally because--

[She pauses.]

You're too obvious.

[As much as she dislikes the fact, it is possible to break her: after all, Samaritan had done it expertly. But while Malcolm's attempt at objective analysis had given her the willies, it hadn't come anywhere close to harming her. Malcolm's approach might involve some amount of keeping things to himself, but it's still direct. It's not insidious. It never truly invites her to let her guard down.]

From: [personal profile] cactusy
Yeah, I know. Like I said, too obvious.

You still can't keep me in the dark. And I need to know that if you notice something concerning about my behavior, you'll tell me right away.

These are my terms, take them or leave them. There are still two other counselors in the office.

So you're picking "leave them"?

[She's admittedly a little surprised, but.]
