<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Arduous.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

No disagreements. It's not a part of the process I enjoy.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Me neither. But on my own, I’ve already done it a thousand times.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

What's your next step in that game plan, then?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Maybe it doesn’t feel like it for you, because it hasn’t been, but this is the end game. Do what I’ve said and by the time that’s over, it’s all over. Not really room for a multi-stage plan.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Surely you have something in mind beyond jumping in headlong.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*Shrugs*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Or is that the long and short of it?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I am doing a little more than jumping in headlong just from what I've told you.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

It looked like you were about to do just that.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

… I was upset. I am upset.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Which, granted, you've earned.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

And don’t get it twisted. I definitely still want to go.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I don't plan on stopping you. Even if you do rush in without a support team. But I'll offer my perspective insofar as you'll listen.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I’m not an idiot. I’m not going to call you wrong for what you’ve said. And I would be an idiot to consider something I know is correct.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

No, but you're hurting. And that's not something I want to discount or disrespect.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

… As long as you don’t stoop to pity, I can live with that.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I'd pity you if I thought you were hopeless. I'll let that speak for itself.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*Nods slowly*
Good.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Now, as thanks for getting the healing started—
*Takes a step back*
I'm going to make a few calls. I can't promise anything.
