Because you think I couldn’t look after you in a crisis? Or because you don’t trust me enough to share your emergency contingencies with me? I’ve been here for almost two years and I’ve never died, you know. Ask how many people here can say the same and then decide who you want to call in an emergency.

[Walter flinches back from the phone for a second. Oh my god! Defensive much! He simultaneously feels bad because he had intended it as ribbing and also oh my god, maybe there is merit to the idea that Malcolm is singled out as a warden and useful. He thinks for another second, trying to focus on the details of the sentence carefully before:]

Because... I just thought you had it in your head now that it wasn't something people do.

How could I think that when you’ve clearly done it? I just wanted to know how because they’re probably ideas I’ve never heard from anyone here before.

You really think that? [Walter Tries So Hard To Have Humility. About How Surely Escaping Can't Be That Easy. But Wow.] ...I know it's scummy to say "promise you won't get mad", but, you did admit there's reason to wonder how much you should tell a warden, so just for the record...

Did you kill someone innocent to achieve this?

Hand to god, haven't killed anyone here. Hopefully that checks out what with the lack of anyone disappearing in a way that implicates me.

Have you set anyone on fire?

Unlike some people, no.

I'll save you a little time. ...I got in a bit of a dust up in my dream. We're both fine now, I'm honestly a lot more upset he told someone about my memory... Other than that, I've never harmed anyone here. Not even by orders, or negligence, or anything like that.

Then I think you'll find it's pretty hard to make me mad.

Okay. Because I am somewhat in possession of a weapon from a warden.

Shocking. [He doesn't sound shocked.] Trevor is pretty open about giving weapons to inmates, you know.

...yeahitstrevor.

Yeah. What kind of weapon is it?

...I think I should at least show you in person some time. It's kind of too cool to spoil.

Why don't you come to my cabin now?

Wouldn't kill me. Rest assured I'm not having this emotionally charged conversation in the library.

...Emotionally charged?

I don't usually say even this much.

Are you afraid if people know you their harsh judgement will be based on something true?

[Walter was getting up to maybe head over but now he just stands there midstep for a second]

...I don't know. I mean... I'm an Inmate. Why wouldn't they have some reason to judge me?

That's not really their job in regards to Inmates, but I guess some people are just judgey.

I can understand why you'd think people *here* shouldn't be judgy, but gen pop is a bit of a different story...

You’re here now.

Well. I could be there, I guess. Your place. Is that still cool?

Of course. I invited you. Why wouldn’t it be?
