[Private to Mozenrath]

I have something I want to discuss with you.

Mr. Nygma approached me on wanting you to take a truth serum. I volunteered to gauge the truth myself psychically. [So much brain touching. He's been doing so much brain touching lately. He's going to have to wash his mind out again.] I've discussed it with your warden, and he's willing if you are. But only if you are and I'd much rather talk about it in person with him present.

[Private to Narvin]

We need to do that matter with Arthas. Tonight. I need the distraction and I'm not in a mood to have him trifle with me. You'll be safe enough. [Tiny pissy man is tiny and pissy.]

[Private to Arthas]

You've an appointment with the Doctor this evening. Let me know when you're in and I'll be about with my lovely nurse.

That sounded far more terrible than I intended. Ignore it. Just be in your cabin and inform me of when the proper hour would be to meet.

Me, I guess.

[Long pause, then, wryly:]

Do you think you're lying?

It's not funny. [He glowers.] It shouldn't bother me like it does; Nygma's not worth the dirt under my boots.

No one particularly cares to have their veracity called into question when they have been completely forthcoming. Trust is more valuable than most believe.

[A beat.]

He isn't worth the dirt under your boots. You don't have to do this.

[Mozenrath sighs] I just want someone else to say I'm telling the truth. [He looks at him.] I trust you. But all supporting me has done for you is bring up accusations that you're covering for me.

Re: [Spam]
It isn't a question of whether you trust me, but of whether I trust you.

[He shakes his head and glances around the room. Not searching, this time.]

The only one leveling such an accusation against me has been Nygma. Any others who believe him now doubt him after my response today.

Are you certain it is worth it to you? To have your privacy violated again simply to prove the first violation was unwarranted?

I believe you based on trust. If I am covering for you, it is on blind faith alone.

[Frown.]

The Doctor has told me he will lie to Nygma, if necessary. He will tell him you've been wholly honest. If you're hiding anything, Mozenrath - anything at all - you turn your hypothetical concerns into reality.

[He stands up, angry] And why is that acceptable?! Why would it be fine for him to turn around and lie for me? I don't want anyone to lie for me. I don't care if Nygma is ever told! I don't want people to think I'm right; I want to be right. Don't you get that?
Severus Snape: Stop talking // One moment please[personal profile] subtlescience on July 22nd, 2011 03:51 pm (UTC)
[Spam]
[He just watches the outburst without comment until it seems like a good moment to step in.]

Why is it necessary for someone else to know you're right? You know you are.

[He holds up a hand.]

Nothing about this situation is acceptable. Nygma, the Doctor - none of it. It is a violation of everything I have worked to achieve with you. You have been wronged, rather than disciplined, for an error in judgement you made seven months ago. And I feel, in subjecting yourself to the Doctor, you are wronging yourself.

But it's your choice, in the end. Whatever the outcome, you will have my trust.

[Mozenrath crosses his arms and sits back down]

I do know I'm right. And I've always known. So it doesn't help for you to tell me that all over again. This entire place treats the Inmates like it's not enough, so it's not.

Your word is enough for me. However, if you feel this is necessary, I can't stop you.

The Doctors, more than any of her other trusted friends, she has good reason. She traveled with the one with the glasses, and before she and I -

[Abrupt halt, heel turn about face.]

If she trusts them, so do I.

I think Mr. Nygma has calmed a bit. He seems to have realized his valiant crusade lost sight of its original intent. [He wonders inside anyway, giving a quick glance around.]

[Mozenrath shares a look with Snape and pointedly shuts the door. Even with his assurances, he just kind of wants him there.]

I'll believe that when I see it.

[He sits down on the divan]

So what is this going to entail? I want it over with.

Re: [Spam]
[Well, that answers that. He stands back away from the door and turns his attention to the Doctor, giving him a nod. Permission to go through with this. But this is Mozenrath's show, after all. He remains silent, otherwise.]

[He thought about bringing up Eddie's request to have a recording of the proceeding but... the situation seems to have become as stressful as possible for all parties.]

You have certain points on your face. I touch them, and then I'm capable of reading any surface thoughts. [After he drops his psychic barriers, which he hates doing. Hates. But sometimes it's for the better and here he's getting more used to it.]

I'll ask you specific questions to keep your mind on topic. And I don't plan to keep whatever it is that you remember. I'll forcibly make myself forget it later once we're done.
