[Sounding irritated. And is so oblivious to the fact he's been gone for a while, but has noticed quite a few new posts. Even if Crane hasn't bothered to read them.]

It's amazing how much all of you can talk in one day. This is some kind of flood, I assume?

[Added later. Angry Crane is angry.]

Oh, good show, Admiral. I'll keep in mind that abrupt disappearances are now one of the many punishment options that you offer alongside floods, ports and zero. Bravo.

[Private - Eddie]

Are you in the infirmary? [That fear toxin was heavy stuff.]

[Private - Hayley]

I had to use that toxin for other purposes. It wasn't anything personal.

[Private - Eames]

We need to talk. [Added later.] Did you know that the Admiral was going to do that?

Mm.. looking for you, until we were assigned. Then enjoying my bit of freedom. I did a bit of work, the same kind of as back home, but I doubt you could appreciate that.

I'm surprised that the Admiral even gave you that much information. I also can't imagine the type of work that you do, since I don't know what it is.

I had assumed it was because you didn't want it. Perhaps he does have a nice moment every now and then.

That was the point, yes. When I trust you, you'll know what I do.

A nice moment in between all the other moments of torment for his amusement.

I'm going to be disappointed if it isn't something exotic.

At least there's one.

I assure you, you'll be far from disappointed.

Directed at you.

I should hope so. All of that secrecy. It makes one wonder.

You don't consider it a kindness to yourself? Even a little bit?

What if I told you that I was a criminal? Would you believe me?

I wasn't here, so it couldn't have been. Although it isn't like he paired me up with Howie, so that's something.

I would. There's a certain type of clever that you don't normally see in people on the other side of the game.

But you're here now. Clearly he knew you were coming back.

Is that meant to be a compliment?

Considering he's in control of it, I imagine that he did.

No. [Yes.] You're reading too much into things.

Then if you like me as your warden, it could be a kindness.

[Eames gives a small laugh at that.] Mm, too bad. I was beginning to think you might actually respect me. Silly idea.

I didn't say that. [This was why Crane didn't want to talk about it. Stupid feelings.]

There are levels of respect. It's not all or nothing. Which before you say anything, is not me saying that I respect you.

Then I'll request a reassignment.

Of course not. Another reason maybe you need someone else.

I didn't suggest that either! [Feel the growing frustration, Eames.]

Is this some kind of game, Eames?

For as long as you continue to lie to me, yes.

You don't want the game? Then answer. Do you want me as your warden: yes or no?

Fine. I want you as a warden. Congratulations, you win.

Do you respect me at all? Yes or no?

Does the same ultimatum as last time apply?

Yes.

Fine. I do. In a fashion. Otherwise I wouldn't bother talking to you.

Good. I want you as my inmate, I respect you when you're honest, and I think you have great potential to do everything you enjoy within the codes of morality that the Admiral deems acceptable.

Are you willing to work with me, even if it's not toward your graduation for now?

That's arguable, but perhaps possible to an extent. Although no one seems willing to explore what that extent is.

I'm willing to work with you. I can't promise that it'll be successful or useful for either of us, but I'll do it.

Perhaps not everything then, but a great deal. Prove I can trust you first, then we'll start pushing boundaries.

Thank you.

I can imagine another three months reading things in the library then. I think I've almost gone through the entire non-fiction section.

Perhaps we can discuss a job as well.
