Really, the most irritating thing isn't his words. The opinions of others mean absolutely nothing; I'm certainly never lying when I say that. He'd like to think that he can get under my skin, and I'll admit that I've slipped up a couple of times in that regard- but that has been taken care of; it won't happen again. No, the most irritating thing is that he's right.

I doubt that it's fear. It would be characteristic of her, I suppose, to fear me- but for some reason, she doesn't. I also doubt that she's just "waiting to see me fall"- that could easily be done from the sidelines. It's that third theory of his that I've considered before (I hope he doesn't think for one moment that he planted the idea in my head; that I allowed him to create such an... insecurity). That she really, truly hasn't realized yet that I am a monster. At some level, I'm sure she does (why else would she have said...)- but once she starts listening to those other friends of hers; really listening to them...

Ty Lee has always been easily convinced of things.

I am a monster. I always have been. I've never denied it. But I don't know why the idea of her recognizing it and calling me out on it is so... tsk.

It's an inevitability. I shouldn't bother deluding myself into thinking otherwise.

...

That smug detective really does need to be taught a lesson.

I sort of want to see you in a bad mood.

Not necessarily?

It's not easy to catch me in one of those, she was just lucky.

But it can happen. And it will, its all about time. And I love time.

I'm sure it had something to do with Akako.

You seem like the kind that enjoys the mundane.

Could be, you're an intuitive man after all.

I can find pleasure and interest on the most prosaic things, yes.

You're just a very obvious one.

Try to be productive with your time.

Perhaps. Are you trying to piss me of, don't you? It's not working.

I'm always productive with my time.

Not at all.

Good.

You're not any good at it.

(I saw the conversation with Kaito, loved the idea of the plot! XD just remember that I'm on hiatus from the 17 since 26 ^^')
