Heard of him, never talked to him, seems like the kind of guy I don't have patience for.
[Such is Sameen Shaw's tendency towards knee-jerk judgments.]
Is he actually getting any wardening done while you guys are playing games, or is this just a recreational thing?

[He just grins.]
What sort of wardening would you like for him to do?

I dunno; I'm sitting here having a drink with you, so I probably shouldn't throw stones.
[And yet-- she raises an eyebrow, drumming her fingers on the bar counter.]

'If you think he's lying, he's not; if you think he's telling the truth, he's not'.

[His response is to chuckle.]
I see.
Well, anyone who has read the play knows that.

Imagine that I haven't read a play since college.

The most annoying, least interesting kind of danger.
[Shaw counters, raising an eyebrow.]
Interpersonal danger, where the only thing at stake is you running circles around me with words? Please. Give me a knife to my throat any day.

Oh come now. Where's the fun in that?
[He chuckles.]
I was a soldier. I ran men through so often that my blade was never clean.
