don't want you coming to the wrong ideas.

then why do you suppose i took it, if you're so insightful?
... hm. hate, no. in my experience it mostly depends on how it's prepared. spicy is preferable to bland.

Any good opinion about you would be the wrong idea?

No, I am not going to answer that right now.
I do not make bland food, that is not going to happen anyways.

exactly. other than i am more competent than the rest of them. but that is a rather low bar.

do i have to fight it out of you?
good. spent too long eating shield's uninspired menu.

Interesting phrasing.

You can try, if you like. You would not succeed.
You could have just - Okay.

I am going to go to the store. You have maybe another hour to make requests or decide there's some ingredient or flavor you do not want.

is it?

my methods of interrogation are perhaps too extreme for something so trivial.
just what?
pick up poptarts while there. blueberry, frosted.

Yes.

Unless your abilities include being able to pluck a thought out of someone's head in a literal sense, they would not work anyways.
Nothing you would have actually considered doing, so it does not matter.
Frosted blueberry poptarts. Okay. Anything else?

how would you prefer i phrase such?

i could indeed reach right into that round little head of yours.
hm. you're right, it probably does not.
that's all.

I did not say I was taking issue with it.

There was an important second part to that statement, which is the part I think you couldn't pull off.
Okay.
Are you the only one who eats these?

ah. nevermind then.

would is a limiting factor in could, in this instance. not worth it.
i better be.

...

No, I do not believe that you can read people's minds if you reach in their heads. No.
I was only trying to check what quantity to buy, but okay, I will mark them hands off. Alexei may or may not listen to it, but you can handle that as you see fit.

read? no. but i can make people who don't want to talk give full insight into every thought that spins through their brains if they don't want it squeezed out through their ears.

3 boxes would do.
if he weren't your father he'd have no hands left to keep off.

Ah, but if you squeezed my brain out through my ears, none of it would be my problem anymore. So why should I care?

...
Are you saying that you have let him slide on things because he's MY father? Why?

i'd leave just enough left, like that last tiny bit of milk walker left in the carton instead of throwing it out. enough to say yes, we do have milk, but not enough to be of any use. enough left to be reminded every time you open up the refrigerator door. it's a metaphor and also me being annoyed.

because i don't need the additional stress that you already cause me.
