Assessment via owl post now?

And yes I knew you were there, but I don't know how you have the time, or why you bother.

How do you force someone to ripen? How can you be sure that this isn't the best I am capable of?

I have more questions that aren't about me.

I'm not going to ask them because it's time for me to stop caring about what you think.

You should at least want to put up a respectable fight before you die.

Looks to me as if they've assigned you too much sedentary, legilimantic work. Insufficient training. Selfish of them. And foolish.

Whose respect am I meant to be earning?

Back when you were training me, did you think that I would one day come to worship at your altar as you do at Antonin's? That I would make you the centre of my life? Maybe you didn't think that far at all. You didn't choose to train me, I was your assignment.

I know that we will fight, sooner or later. I don't plan on dying when that happens.
