Maybe until you're sure Will is in a better place mentally. One where Malcolm won't be able to convince him he did nothing wrong.

Look, Rovia-- Malcolm enabling Will is a problem, yeah, but I don't think you get that he's not the dominant one here. Will isn't a meek little follower hanging onto his every word. Malcolm successfully, I dunno, brainwashing him into something isn't actually a huge concern of mine.

I'm not worried about that either.

I'm worried Will is going to get him demoted. And I'm worried Malcolm is going to end up hamstringing whatever progress Will makes in an effort to be on Will's side.

-- Okay. So we're on the same page on that.

I'm keeping Graham with me at all times because it's my job to know what the hell is going on in his life, and right now I can't trust that he's going to keep me in the loop on his own. I've been thinking that after a couple days, I'll probably give him a break from me when he's in a private cabin - his or somebody else's. I hadn't planned to make Bright an exception to that, but I'm not necessarily opposed.

You probably know Will better than anyone here. Or at least you're able to be the right level of suspicious. People are going to want to know what punishment he's getting; what will you tell them?

Ugh, this punishment crap.

[Not a helpful answer, Shaw. This is why you can't be turned loose on the public network on your own.]

Yeah, I know. There's no point to a punishment if nothing is learned from it, but people want it anyway.

If people want to know what punishment he's getting, I'm probably gonna want to know why they care more about that then about what I'm doing to keep it from happening again.

I think that's a good answer.

... Yeah? Thank god.

Who else are you hoping will talk to Malcolm?

If I had ideas, I'd go to them right now, not post to the whole warden filter about him. The only people I know for sure do like him also coddle the hell out of him.

Yeah. I wish I had names for you.

Whatever; I'll figure it out. And, uh-- you're not nothing. You'll be helpful. You already have been.

He probably won't listen to me. But I'll keep talking to him.

I thought you said you were friends.

We are. But how many of your friends listen to you when sex was on the line?

I've never been in a situation like this before.

You've never had a friend who was dating someone they shouldn't?

Do I seem like someone who's had a lot of friends that were close enough for me to offer up opinions on their dating choices?

[He shrugs] I like you?

[So why wouldn't other people?]

Okay, well, the answer is no, I've never had a friend who was dating someone they shouldn't.

Well it sucks. People act in very stupid ways when they think they're in love and they don't usually care what anyone else says

Is that why you're weird about relationships? Bad personal experience with seeing your friends go off the deep end?

No I'm weird about relationships because I was abandoned as a kid and it screwed up my formative bonding.
