WHAT in person
WHERE the... cemetery?
WHEN day ""136""

[somewhere in cam... cour... uh, qm, there appears to be a new plot of land—some overgrown with weeds and other weed-adjacent plants, and some with towering oak trees and the like, and some with just perfect patches of freshly mowed and manicured grass...

also

there are tombstones every scattered all over this area, with the name of your father or father-figure on them, regardless of whether or not they are here or dead or here-dead.

yeeeeesh.]

That's true.

[this guy is too busy tenderly snipping at grass to really argue with your ego today doctor]

[emanation]

[ For the best. ]

And I presume you don't have two fathers? [ Indicating to the spot he's trying to clean up. ]

[willnotwatch]

...

N'Jobu was my uncle.

[emanation]

Do you have any idea why it appeared like this?

[ Sure, refuse to answer questions directed at you, but still ask others... sure. ]

[willnotwatch]

Yes. He was written out of Wakanda's history.

[emanation]

Ah.

[ He lets him chop at the grass quietly for a minute. ]

You didn't know him personally?

[willnotwatch]

Only when I was very young. He went off on a very long mission when I was three.

[emanation]

And that's when he was written out of Wakanda's history?

[willnotwatch]

No. My father found him guilty of treason. When confronted, he attacked his closest friend in fury—actually my father's closest confidante, sent to watch him.

My father intervened and killed my uncle.

[emanation]

Ah, that uncle-- [ He had mentioned it before, but it's better to only presume so much. Especially as the long mission may not have been treasonous and could have just been that he went mission in action. ] --was him.

[ Indicates to the grave. ]

So are you doing this out of sympathy or guilt?

[willnotwatch]

Neither.

He was my uncle; I loved him. I hope to find a way to reunite him with the ancestors one day.

[emanation]

Sorry, you just said you hadn't seen him since you were three?

[ Trying to Understand ok. He try. ]

[willnotwatch]

The little memories I have of him are fond.

[emanation]

[ Raises an eyebrow, but he doesn't say anything else, letting the silence settle instead this time. ]

[willnotwatch]

I'm easily attached. I'm aware; it's a fault of mine.

[emanation]

I didn't say anything.

[willnotwatch]

You're an easy read, doctor.

[emanation]

Some might have called it a strength, that's all.

[ He was actually thinking the opposite, ok ]

[willnotwatch]

[wait]

Did you just pay me a compliment?

[emanation]

I give people compliments.

[ They're just backhanded compliments. ]

[willnotwatch]

I'm sure. But this is the first I've received one personally.

[emanation]

I complimented your cooking before.

[willnotwatch]

You said that it was 'surprisingly' adequate.

[emanation]

Which was a compliment.

[willnotwatch]

Based on a negative implication.
