[ now THAT'S going to get an eyebrow raise out of waver ]
I'm not holding a physical nor metaphorical leash around Lady Reyna. She's free to do as she pleases with whomever she pleases because she is not my daughter nor am I her professor. Did I grow nervous at the end of the trial? Yes I did. That's why I did what I did, and I apologized for it. But I do not regret it, because I gain nothing with regret.
And while she may not be my student, she is my partner and that means that she has expectations from me as I have expectations from her. If that is your idea of having a leash on someone, then fine, but I don't agree with you.
You know as well as I do that 'having expectations of your partner' is not the same thing as being controlling.
[Jae-ha's great at feigning to be an idiot, and sometimes he really is an idiot, but he blinks at the notion that he could confuse the two.]
Because in essence - that's what you chose to do at the trial. You forced her into something. I came to have a conversation with you because I was trying to understand why - you've painted something of a target on your back, which I didn't believe you deserved.
But when you say things like you don't wish her toward self-destruction, when you're the one who aided in her being suspected in the first place, it doesn't make much sense - does it?
I wondered if this is your tendency to speak as a professor, the tone that makes you so condescending, considering the fact that Reyna's been nothing but upfront in trials.
Now I'm just wondering if you're bad at reading people.

Do your good intentions blind you to the fact that you're being controlling, as well as condescending?
