I...why are you getting so upset? What's expected of me has been obvious from the start - that I'm going to be the one that the rest of you seek out if there's some sort of crisis, because for some godforsaken reason I'm the person everyone looks at when things go wrong or something changes unexpectedly and I'm expected to know what to do about it. And that's fine; I'm used to taking on whatever role is necessary in any given situation, that sort of versatility is what makes me useful - it's what makes people think I'm worth keeping around.

That sort of thing just also means that I can't be compromised by anything, at least not for very long, and it's for the best that I deal with things on my own. Which is also fine, because that's what I've always done.

You haven't done anything wrong, and I'm not complaining because you came to me with this - you did exactly what I asked you to do, and it's what I want you to continue doing if there's some sort of issue because I want to know and as I've said, you're important to me and I want to help you. At the same time, I know what my place is and I know how things work - and besides, the things that have been on my mind lately are things that nothing can be done about, anyway. So don't be worried on my behalf, monsieur, because as far as anyone else should be concerned there's nothing to worry about.
