He cannot stand you.

Whether it’s because of the incessant bothering or due to your dastardly unkempt appearance at times. Even if it fits you.

You have your moments of intelligence displayed, but, frankly, your drivel defeats any exhibited intelligence.

He has things to attend to, things to solve. Which is your stupidity, perhaps even solve your unnecessary ranting.

He understands there are traits that cannot be changed or “corrected” because each person is unique, and it’d also be wrong to enforce his own ideals on you.

He just wishes you’d get the hint to stop bothering him of all people. Yes, he can educate with no favors needed as repayment but, please, stop bothering him like a child spouting the most ridiculous nonsense randomly.

He uses the alabaster head to not witness stupidity closely anyhow, and he finds himself using it often in your presence.

And so he looks at you unimpressed, and regretfully due to not putting on the headpiece, after hearing your revelation.

“Come again? Greeting me with an… exchange of lips is more sanitary than a handshake?”
