Is it?

[eatsfish]

If you complained about it and he's found dead the next day they'll know it was you. Duh it's a bad idea.

text;

[acrostic]

What makes you think he'd be found?

text;

[eatsfish]

You know what I meant. I'm not doubting your capabilities if that's what you're worried about.

text;

[acrostic]

I'm not sure I do. I know you're not doubting me.
You're actually talking me out of it.

text;

[eatsfish]

Found or not he'll still be dead. It'll draw suspicion. I very much doubt that's something you want.

Of course I am. Did you expect that I wouldn't?

text;

[acrostic]

How would you avoid suspicion? You've acted spontaneously before.

No. Messaging you implies this is what I wanted.

text;

[eatsfish]

Not acting spontaneously to begin with is the most logical option. You always choose the most logical option. Discussing alternatives isn't useful in your case.

And yet the word "actually" seems to imply you somehow didn't think I would.

text;

[acrostic]

I'm asking about you now.

Just wondering what you'd say.

text;

[eatsfish]

Fine. How would I avoid suspicion in the instance that I murdered a man for putting onions in my food? It's circumstantial. You have to be adaptable. A quick thinker that can consider the variabilties. It's much easier to get away with murder in Gotham than it would be here, for example. But generally speaking, confidence helps a great deal. Keeping a level head is essential. A crime of passion can occasionally be gotten away with if thought is put into the aftermath.

Is this perchance a test of some sort?

[acrostic]

I see. Thank you.

Would it bother you if it were?

text;

[eatsfish]

It's nothing to thank me over. You know how much I enjoy imparting a touch of friendly murder advice.

Not as long as my grades aren't slipping.

text;

[acrostic]

You didn't at first.

Top of the class. :)

text;

[eatsfish]

I wasn't initially in the proper mindset.

That's only a compliment if there's more than just me in the class.

text;

[acrostic]

You certainly weren't.

Everyone is in the class, Oswald.

text;

[eatsfish]

It was rather sudden.

Goodness, then that's quite the compliment. It's my turn to be thankful to you.

text;

[acrostic]

Did you like me?

You don't have to thank me for you being smarter than everyone else.

text;

[eatsfish]

I'm sorry? I'm not entirely sure I understand the context of what you're asking.

No, but it is nice to be thought so highly of.

text;

[acrostic]

Never mind.

It is, isn't it? :)

text;

[eatsfish]

No. You asked for a reason.

text;

[acrostic]

I was just wondering how long you've been feeling things.
For me.

text;

[eatsfish]

Since the night you risked your life for mine. I didn't realize how I felt until I almost had to live without you.

text;

[acrostic]

Ah. This place interrupted you, didn't it?

I wasn't going to live without you and you forgot my name. That's funny.

text;

[eatsfish]

At first. But I think it helped me too.

What? You hardly knew me then. It isn't like I treated you well beforehand. You could have found another teacher.

I guess I owe you for more than one lifetime. I am sorry for how things started between us, you know. I was... unfair.

text;

[acrostic]

It did?

Could I have? Other people never quite understood. I wonder if you're right.

I think we're past you needing to apologize for being upset with me while I forcibly held you against your will in my apartment. In hindsight that may not have been the best awakening.
