"He does, and me too obviously, fear not."

"Well, you're going to cast it on more people - right?"

Permalink

"I've actually been kind of careful about handing out the translation spell. It's exceedingly useful, but - not handing it out like it's candy and there are small children to placate about. So, yes, but not - everyone I ever come across in life."

Permalink

"But Edarial and maybe Zevros."

Permalink

Edarial frowns. "I am not going to invade your privacy, either."

Permalink

"Okay. What about Zevros?"

Permalink

"If you blatantly write things in front of him he'll be curious about it and the why behind it, but when you tell him that it's private he'll get that and respect it."

Permalink

"He wants you to cast spells on him that would let him see people naked through walls!"

Permalink

"Zevros categorizes people." Wince. "If he doesn't know you and doesn't know your preferences he will assume that your preferences are the same as his and he therefore doesn't care. But if you tell him otherwise he will listen."

Permalink

"Are you quite sure?"

Permalink

"Yes. He's my twin, I've known him all of my life."

Permalink

"Okay."

Permalink

"Does Zeviana do that?"

Permalink

"Unfortunately."

Permalink

"It's a bit... questionable, yeah. But she consistently remembers preferences that people have, so if you tell them, she won't step on them again. It's just the 'figuring out what the preferences are' that's the hard part."

Permalink

"She can't just - note common ones and use them as a baseline?"

Permalink

"I think she can, she just... Doesn't know how or doesn't want to bother with it. It's easier to use herself as the baseline."

Permalink

"But she is in many ways unconventional."

Permalink

"Remember that for a large part of our lives... Surrounded by terrible people. So since she is better than the people around her, noticeably, then using herself as a baseline is giving people the benefit of the doubt."

Permalink

"In terms of expecting them to be - decent or competent, yes. In terms of expecting them to care about privacy not so much."

Permalink

"Yeah. That's a downside." Wince. "I have tried to get her to work on it."

Permalink

"Nnnot really, she doesn't understand the 'why' on some privacy stuff, so she thinks it's stupid."

Permalink

"...What's to understand?"
