#the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it
*drops down on one knee* will u sin with me
My dear friend, would you?
Sin? Of course I would ;)
“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it” after all.
Exactly, Henry. I’m too tired to care about some “morals” anymore. What other thing are they than artificially constructed supressions?
I believe you have rarely spoken something so accurate before, at least in my presence.
Maybe you were so engrossed in your studies you just didn’t hearThank you, Henry! This is one of the few times I have heard an actual compliment from you!
ImpossibleYou’re welcome, Francis. Really? I thought I have complimented you plenty. Just last week I mentioned your translation being “fairly passable”.
Oh of course, how could I forget! That’s /obvious/ “fairly passable” coming from you is equal to the highest of compliments! My bad for being so ignorant.
It was actually meant to encourage you to do better. I think you’re better than what you present in class, you’re just not trying. It was a … double-layered compliment. Along the lines of “passable but beneath you”. If you’d ever like me to explain myself, say so, please.
You know I have always felt ambiguous about Greek… Latin is what I truly love. I could try, surely, but why waste time on something that is not my passion?
We are not the same, Henry. You live the life of ancient scholars, your heart is with Athens, the language has been injected in your blood. I’m merely a Roman who was sent there to learn Greek in order to get by among the intelligence of our world.
No, we are not the same at all.
I just think sometimes you underestimate yourself, that is all. Aude. Este audax.
I’ll take your words under consideration, thank you.
Enjoy sinning.
I certainly will ;)
This is an amazing conversation.
