"I did not say that I didn't like working here. You, Kiryu, and Sheehan are all interesting men and I enjoy your company greatly. I simply wish that I could be more useful—though again, this conversation is not about me!"

Damn, it's hard to not talk about yourself. Strange frowns for a moment, letting out a flustered little sigh before,

"At least tell me you understand what I've been trying to tell you with regards to Kikimora and her magic. There are very few people who can understand just how stifling this feeling is. How the absence could drive you to extremes more than the presence would."

Damn. Strange knew that the likelihood he could convince Malcolm to help lift that restriction on Kikimora's magic was next to nothing. But he can't help but feel like he just had an entire conversation where nothing changed.

"Just...promise me you'll actually do that. You'll actually discuss her options, leaving nothing on the table, telling her precisely what she needs. I don't think you wardens realize just how damned easy it is to loathe this place, especially with minimal direction."

"I knew she was your inmate, but not your second one." And because he's curious, "Who was your first?"

"You were Caffrey's warden?"

What's a diplomatic way of phrasing this...

"Well. It seems like the Admiral is not the sort to assign the same type of inmate to a warden."
