[ For whatever reason, Pounce has chosen to make this post while lying on top of a file. It isn't evident from the video whose file it is, though that will become apparent in a moment. It does kind of look like he found it and immediately decided it was a bed, though. ]

I have evidently been entrusted with Arthas' file. Given the circumstances, however, I believe it is safe to assume that I will not be taking the role of his permanent warden. None the less, until I am told otherwise I shall consider myself responsible for him as though I were.

I presume you are still free of the Lich King, Arthas. So long as you do not try my patience I will keep my claws to myself.

[Flat, dangerous:] You've what.

[tucky]

Can I see it?

[Hey, she figures it's worth asking.]

[isahumanbeing]

Best of luck to you. [a beat] Though... I suspect you don't need it.

[absentconstellation]

No you may not. It would be unprofessional of me.

[absentconstellation]

[ He nods his appreciation. ]

Thank you all the same, Nick.

[tucky]

Okay.

Are you gonna read it?

[absentconstellation]

I already have. I am a very fast reader.

[absentconstellation]

[ He yawns luxuriously. ]

Since no announcement was made I doubt it will be left with me for long.

[tucky]

And you're gonna share it around with the other wardens, right?

[absentconstellation]

I will do no such thing. I'm offended you would even think such a thing.

[ He does actually sound a little offended! ]

[tucky]

... But why? They should know who they're dealing with, right?

[isahumanbeing]

If I wasn't concerned with getting caught in his inevitable tantrum, I'd love to see what happens with the two of you in the same room. As it is, I like breathing too much.

Oh, right, I haven't gotten a chance to assess damage... did you notice if we lost anything in library through that mess?

[absentconstellation]

They already know quite well who they're dealing with. I will not share every intimate detail of his past that I have been trusted with.

[tucky]

What's he done to deserve privacy?

[absentconstellation]

I will see if I can't arrange for it to be recorded. [ He's joking. Probably. ]

We have not yet lost any books or recordings. Should we in the future I will be quite displeased with whomever responsible.

[absentconstellation]

All creatures deserve privacy, Tiffany. From the highest of the Gods to the lowliest of mortals.

[tucky]

He doesn't.

And I just think maybe if they knew what was in his file they could use it to stop him.

[absentconstellation]

It would be no different than if I were to take out your liver and beat you over the head with it.

[tucky]

It's a lot different.

[absentconstellation]

Your liver is just as private and holds just as much poison.

[tucky]

I never did anything like what he did.

[absentconstellation]

Perhaps not in your own opinion.

[tucky]

Do you even know what I'm here for?

[absentconstellation]

I know more than you might think. And I do not share your secrets with my colleagues simply because I can.

[tucky]

... I wouldn't do what he did. I wouldn't ever do that.
