"I hate you. First question, where were you born? Was it some edgy place like hell? Or maybe a lab?"
-
"No, in a hospital. To a loving mother and father, in the heart of New York City." [i] He smirked, looking down at Charlie from his 6'2" height.[/i] "I'm not the son of Satan, or half demon, or any of the actual edgy shit anyone here is."
-
[i]Should be noted that Charlie is 6'3", but is sitting.[/i] "Oh, maybe I judged you too quickly. Can you describe your childhood and parents?"
-
"Simple. Played baseball as a kid, did average in school. Dad worked hard for his family and mom was a typical mom."
-
"How are your relationships with them now?"
-
"They died. Dad of a car crash, mom of a heart attack." [i] He says with a shrug. He'd come to terms with it long ago.[/i]
-
"Do you have any friends? How would you describe your relationships with them?"
-
"A couple. They're generic friends. Simple and plain in every sense of the word." [i] He says, putting his hands in his jeans pockets.[/i]
-
"Alright, well since you're a long way from NYC I'm guessing you've made friends here. Do you?"
-
"I know a couple of people here, yeah."
-
"Nothing significant? You have nothing to talk about?"
-
"What can I say? I'm a pretty uninteresting person." [i] He says with a shrug.[/i]
-
"Okay, can you describe what you think of the dojo...in detail?"
-
"It's an uninteresting place, filled with uninteresting people, where the best thing is the Starbucks and their chocolate chip frappes." [i] He says with a smirk. [/i]

[i]Charlie smirks back.[/i] "You're having more fun than most males who come into this room, I'll give you that."
-
"That could be taken a lot of ways Charlie." [i] He said, and it occurred to him that he'd never told the shadowy man his name. [/i]
-
"Lets just say this desk has had a lot more than just papers spread across it. What's your name again?"
-
"Uh huh." [i] He says, an eyebrow raised.[/i] "Call me Ronin. It's what everyone else does."
-
"Well Ronin, want a drink?"
-
"Pass. I don't trust anything served by sketchy, not really psychiatrist." [i] He says with an àsshole smirk.[/i]
-
[i]He sighs[/i] "I am really a psychiatrist whether or not you believe me is not my problem."
-
"It's not really a problem for me either. We done here?"
-
"Sure, buzzkill."
