Log;

Edmund is actually at work tonight - he hopes a member of his family might show up, but he's also wondering who else might show up. He's made sure that he's well staffed for the extra crowds and well stocked, no less.

He just hopes nothing gets out of control.

And of course, that a member of his family shows up, looking for him.

I applaud you for yet another veiled attempt at reverse psychology. However, in the interest of not indulging your apparent streak of masochism, I will instead employ an alternative interpretation of your offer and continue to elaborate on Mike.

Mike does not attempt to presume he knows what is best for me, simply by virtue of being older, more experienced, theoretically smarter, or in some given socially-constructed position of power over me. Mike comprehends that it is possible to disagree with me without reducing the discussion to a zero-sum game in which only one of us can be correct, and the will of the victor must be imposed upon the loser. Mike acknowledges the qualities I possess that make you suggest I may be genuinely unlikeable, and appreciates me despite them as opposed to insisting I alter them as a contingency of his friendship.

Simply put, Mike likes me. You don't. I merely return the favour in both instances.

That's fair.

[It's like getting annoyed with a particularly wordy wall. In the interest of not indulging himself in any further masochism, he gets up to leave.]

Talking to you was a pleasure, as always. I hope Mike shows up.
