If you want my honest and objective opinion, I think I'd need to get to know you more thoroughly as someone other than your student.
You could be stern with us, but given that I was a teenager intent on kissing as many boys as possible while I was away from Tevinter... I experienced far worse discipline from others, in those years.
I suppose some people don't respond well to a clinical approach. But you're not unkind at all.
Then I suppose we're lucky we've found ourselves in a position where those labels no longer apply.
But thank you, regardless. I'm not unaware of my shortcomings, but I'd thought I'd come some way since the last time any objections were brought to my attention.
I suppose it was the rather varied responses to my attempt at sharing information. Some raised hackles I understood, some I'd attribute to hastiness or issues of reading comprehension, [ sorry ] but overall — I'd say it's indisputable that the fault lay with me.
I'm learning that this writing-based form of communication can be [ hmm, what's the word, ] touchy. More-so than letters, when you can exchange messages so quickly.
I wouldn't take any bristling too personally. Death is a difficult subject, for most people, whether it's temporary here or not.

Can I ask what brought this on? The question, I mean.

But — thank you for indulging me. At the risk of sounding too sentimental, I trusted you to be honest.

I can't say I'm a fan of being under house arrest, either. Reminds me too much of home.
And I do appreciate your trust in me. Earnestly.
