Part 726: Kjelle A

Oh. Hello, Laurent.

Kjelle.

You haven't been by to check up on me in a while. Is everything all right?

What?

You said it was your duty to keep watch on us. Keep us in top condition and all that? And then you just stopped coming by. I wondered if you'd given up or what.

I still watch everyone else.

Everyone... else?

After you cautioned me, I thought it best if I made an exception for you, so I desisted.

Because I told you other people may not like you staring at them?

"Some people" were your words. I thought perhaps you were speaking for yourself. It is not uncommon for people to cloak their fears in the guise of an imaginary-

Oh, for hell's sakes! That's not what I was doing! I just meant that SOME people might take offense. That's all I meant.

...My apologies. I see my inference was mistaken.

Your advice has already helped me out. I'm a big fan of your advice. So I was HOPING you'd keep watching.

If anything looks off to you, point it out. I'd be eager to hear it.

Then I shall strive to let no glimmer of potential improvement elude me!

You do that.
