It's not necessary, but I was just wondering if you were someone else I had the misfortune to meet on these boards.

Oppenheimer. I have a feeling I'm being made fun of. Interesting name. What's its origin? :)

Hm, I see. I'm just curious because your surname is British, yet your given names are Latin, French, and Germanic. If I didn't know any better, Mr. Oppenheimer, I'd say you made up a false name out of some rather fancy ones.

Construct any atomic bombs, lately?

Well that's good, considering I'm not English. I'm Irish.

Normally people who tack 'Esquire' onto the ends of their names have parents who don't feel the need to steal from every single great mind of the era.

...right. So I'm guessing, from a common sense point of view, that the answer is no. Considering your name is Marcellius and not 'J. Robert', and most scientific geniuses don't feel the need to quote themselves.

Lord Hugo de Fóle of the Norman Crusades, if you must know.

And I'm sure you were up all last night thinking up that one, Mr. Marcellius~ Eckhart~ LeDoux~ Leibniz~ Oppenheimer~. Oh, forgive me. Esquire. I haven't the slightest clue as to how to answer that slight! Oh dear, oh my, what shall I do? A mean man called me a girl!

Oh, nurse! Pass me my handkerchief! I must sob now!

Really? Well, bully for you. I was in the basement, using my education to help further escape. But, even though my endeavor is probably more helpful in the long run doesn't negate your efforts at all. Baby steps lead to walking, after all.

Oh? You have experience in this as well, then? Of course you do, silly me. After all, with that hair and that androgynous name... We are so alike, it's uncanny! ♥

Do you? I'm glad to hear that I inspire confidence! The first step to physical freedom, after all, is mental freedom! I hope you keep feeling freer every second that goes by~

I didn't say anything about it being a fault! We can talk about what it's like to be mistaken for girls, can't we? Learn from each other's pain? Cry on each other's shoulders? Or do you just not like me because I'm too young for you?

Again, I'm not sure I follow. Where am I running to an adult? The above comment about the nurse and the handkerchief was a joke...

And I don't hide behind my age, you just seem to take issue with it. Or an unhealthy interest in it. I'm not sure which anymore, honestly.

Taking advantage of the fact that I am fourteen, though, is not below me. Most nurses think I'm cute--not so much with you, I would guess, considering you're an adult.

Hm, interesting. Someone obviously doesn't like the tone you're taking with me? Frankly, I don't like your thinly veiled threats either.

And do you think I'm idiotic enough to point out my childish argument with you to the whole institute? As amusing as it has been?

Oh, you're referring to the part where I said, "Or do you just not like me because I'm too young for you?" Is that it?

Maybe that's why you have such a lifeless stare?

I didn't say you were addressing me as a child--I merely noted that your tone was rather, how most girls say, creepy. Everything else, yes, you've been treating me with mutual respect and I greatly appreciate that. It's not everyday I meet someone who gives me that courtesy.

Perhaps you weren't outwardly threatening me, but the line between intellectual sparring and intense dislike seemed to be crossed... forgive me if I seemed a bit taken aback in my note following it, but you did severely 'creep me out'.

Marcellius,

Please expect to report to me later on your involvement in this conversation, and why you deemed it necessary.

I don’t think you do. Speaking to someone with more knowledge would actually do you some good, I believe. Please exercise more tact in the future. You are still quite new to the institute.
