Private Conversations

[dominioned]

The confessional before you is ornate and well maintained, ebony colored wood embellished with the visage of two angels. A jet black curtain separates the confessional from the rest of the Church, offering a surprising degree of privacy to any eavesdroppers nearby. Unlike the rest of Krakow, the inside is dimly lit by a small light bulb securely attached to the ceiling which emits a faint red light. While the atmosphere isn't exactly cozy, it is private.

A smooth voice calls out to you once you've sat down, familiar enough to identify the speaker despite the partition between you.

"Welcome welcome. I take it something is on your mind?"

We're in a museum now, Harry.

That's what I thought, so the reveal came out of left field. I don't appreciate the amount of detail that was left out here.

[ Not that anyone cares what he appreciates or not, he's going to say it and nobody can stop him. ]

Ah but you see, what isn't said is just as strong as what is. If others want to assume without clarification, then I am happy to oblige them.

[ A beat. ]

I won't say I do not lie, but I do not make a habit of it. There was a time when I did, but I've found that is much more enjoyable to let others do the work for me.

[ There's a pause here before Mikami lets out a deep elongated sigh. ]

You would make a good defense attorney.

[ This is NOT a compliment. ]

[dominioned]

Why thank you. [ He is going to take it as one anyway. ]

Practicing law isn't something I have considered, but perhaps I'll keep it in mind.
