[Scary...]

Well, it's hard to say... I think it would depend on the situation at hand.

he is such an ass i am so sorry

[strongjumps]

So you cannot say?

[ A smirk. ]

I suppose it would depend, though. In this situation, you could benefit from some practical applications of all of that theoretical Ravenclaw knowledge. Or the ability to negotiate with me and answer the question. Or the ability to tactically steer the conversation in your favor.

[ And then a derisive chuckle. He's really interested in how she'll respond, to say the least. ]

haha no worries

[fuckilovebooks]

I think it's fairly obvious what you want me to say. But if I said cunning was the most important just to appease you, would it really be satisfying?

[strongjumps]

It appears as though you are not quite as oblivious as I thought. Impressive.

[ But the enjoyment quickly leaves his face, replaced with a look of slight disgust. ]

Would it really be satisfying if I told you that I did not care for your opinion, even if it did agree with mine?

[fuckilovebooks]

If you don't care for my opinion, why is it so important to you what I have to say?

[strongjumps]

[ Complete and total poker face all up in this. ]

Because it strengthens my beliefs even more.

[fuckilovebooks]

If you really didn't care, it wouldn't affect your beliefs either way.

[strongjumps]

[ And the poker face falters just the teeniest bit because he realized he's boxed himself in a bit! Oh noooooo. ]

I do not care because it is the way I respond to you that strengthens my convictions. It is like... a test for myself.

Each house has its strengths and weaknesses. No one is more important than the other.

[strongjumps]

Of course each house is important. I was talking about the traits they embody.

But I know a stalemate when I see one.
