Given the circumstances I'm gonna go ahead and call that real, real tame. If getting a couple hits in would mess anybody up that bad, they're not ready to be here.
You gonna be okay with it? Or at least...however okay anyone could be. I don't really think shooting for perfect, happy neutrality's a reasonable ask.
Heh, yes, well. I've had worse. Just not ideal, given the responsibilities I'm supposed to be focusing on.
[But, more importantly:]
If Malekith gives you any trouble, call me. Any time. I know you can handle yourself, but you needn't go up against someone as ruthless as him without backup.
He believes only his race deserves a chance at survival, so don't expect him to show you respect. He's also nearly a foot taller than me, so I imagine even with his powers dampened, he could overpower many people physically.
I can't say I know anything he'd be sensitive about. He had the advantage in that regard when we spoke.
He's seemed polite enough so far, but that's all good to know — thank you, really, it's nice to get some kind of second opinion right off the bat.
If you...need anything, regarding him, I'm happy to sound off. Doubt you'd find anything new in the file, but if you don't want to run into him accidentally or something, I can keep tabs.
He puts a positive spin on it. And he doesn't even have the decency to be self-serving about it. It's all ideology. As if killing thousands of his own people was somehow the best thing for them.
[He's getting riled up again. Time to take a breath.]
I'm not sure if any of the current wardens are equipped for the sort of challenge he raises. But if he's to be in anyone's hands to start, I'm glad their yours. Even if you've got a whole other inmate to consider.

[Sigh.]
I may have...raised my voice with him, when I found him. And attempted to subdue him. Barnes stepped in.
But I've been avoiding him since then?

I'll admit I've been attempting to avoid thinking about his presence. Which might work if he behaves and we never get paired.
[God, he hopes they never get paired.]
There's been...other things distracting me, in any case. You haven't met Jeremy yet, have you? Or "Jerry".

[There's no hiding the discomfort as he goes on:]
Jerry is the spitting image of Thor. So identical it was like I went back fifty years myself.
[He pauses, trying to put his thoughts in order.]
It's not worse than Malekith being here, exactly, but it's certainly captured enough of my attention.
no subject
But I'm sorry about that too — rough couple months.

[Personal a stake as he has, grounded as the fear may be, she means this. Solemn as the grave.]
Anything I should be on alert for? Hot buttons?

Out of curiosity, did he have any crimes listed that don't fit with what I described?
no subject
Not much positive spin to put on it, but at least it's not worse.
