She frowns. "Because of the warden-inmate thing, or...?"

"Sometimes. But not only that. Some people think I'm going to manipulate him. Some people think he's going to manipulate me. Will's warden thinks we're going too fast and using words that are too intense. Jesus thinks I'm an unethical sexual predator using Will for gratification and endangering his graduation without a thought or care. So the opinions vary wildly, but we're definitely considered the Barge's Most Problematic Couple, by and large," Malcolm tells her. "I kind of wish I could say it's just the Inmate/Warden thing."

"Jesus considers all warden and inmate relationships unethical, for the record. It isn't just yours. If you don't push, he keeps it to himself, but it's there." Speaking as someone else whose relationship he disapproves of.

"But hearing it from that many angles sounds exhausting."

"He does, but he considers mine... moreso. Worse. And I do not have to push him to hear about it. He says it's because Will was my counseling client, but... he wasn't. But Jesus doesn't believe me. He thinks I'm taking advantage of him or something. Like that's possible. He doesn't really know Will, is the thing, so what he thinks he's protecting him from... he doesn't understand what's actually a danger to Will," Malcolm explains. He shrugs again. "It doesn't actually matter. There's no... path to get along with him. He thinks I'm scum."
