hearthebell: (I believe in a line so thin)

[L finds himself, quietly, pitying the fact that the SQUIP has to feel those emotions. What a burden they must be. How terrible that it is coloring its life, influencing its actions, leading it to new opportunities.

It's sad, L thinks, without allowing it to bleed into what he feels about his own life, actions, and opportunities. No, he's got those; he is capable. He trusts himself.]


I'm glad as well. Please have a detailed report of what you've learned forwarded to me by next week.

[There's no mention of when he'll be back, no mention of if it will even be before "next week." In the meantime, he's impatient and eager to get back to the spell he's working on, the face he wants to see, the eyes that don't see him, but it's not as though his mind isn't powerful enough to pretend.

No, all of this just means he isn't good enough, yet. Someday it'll move, and speak, and grasp for his neck. Someday, it will be enough, if he just works harder.]
