Xellos O-kage: Bad Habits (and stealth Stress)
"Oh, I don't know about bad habits... you pick up a habit because it does something for you, ne? Something useful, that you need at that time. Maybe it becomes 'bad' if the reasons to stop outweigh those to keep on, but you keep it up anyway.

"I suppose, if I had to point to one, it would be being too open when there's an answer I don't intend to give... and there are so many." A sweet smile. "But is it a bad habit, ne? Surely it must be a better one than lying, as so many do when faced with difficult questions. An amateur trick, I must feel, that, and so exhausting to keep up with the results. And it's been a good habit so often. It's how I was taught, that the mysteries of my Order should stay that way--and why not, when we worked hard to discover them, and some of them could disarrange the minds of the unprepared?"

He laughs. "Well, perhaps some will say I clearly wasn't sufficiently prepared. Saa, who knows, I came to it young, ne." Hands going up in a shrug, "Maa, I don't know about others... I probably keep too busy for most of them these days. That's the best way, I find."





I get to catch up with folks... Monday. And this evening. @.@ (zombie walk of end-of-finals)
