[d33tached]

You needn't call me sir, I will tell you again. I go by D33.

[darkov]

[but that's so many more syllables.

hastily:] So-sorry! I--um. Sorry. D33.

[d33tached]

That is correct.

Do let me know what you think of the tales. I found them quite fascinating when I was a similar age to your own.

[darkov]

[in a shaky exhale:] Alright... I'll try.

[d33tached]

Don't concern yourself with it too heavily.

[His voice is surprisingly calm as he says so, but he means it. This isn't something he's forcing Martin to do, he just genuinely thought that the boy might enjoy the stories and, since he is learning to read...]

As I've said, it is for your leisure.

[darkov]

Oh, but... What if I can't figure it out? What if it...takes too long? If you want to know, but I can't do it... I, I don't want to waste your time--

[d33tached]

[D33 is trying to be patient, but damn if this kid isn't testing that with this ridiculous anxiety...]

You're learning to read, yes? Once you've reached the skill level at which you can comprehend the text I've sent you, then you might take the time to read it.

I am interested to know what you think of it, but you are by no means required to give me that information.

I only thought that you might enjoy it.

[darkov]

[BUT...NO TIME LIMITS...NO GAUGE FOR FAILURE...WHERE'S THE THRESHOLD??

he gulps, quiet for a beat.]

Sorry. Alright.

[d33tached]

[Flatly] It’s fine.

Good evening, Martin.

[And he cuts the feed.]
