Answer a Question with a Question

[Mnemosyne]

Will you please believe in yourself as I believe in you?

[FourStellar]

You believe in me?

[Lapine]

Why wouldn't I?

[CaptainErotica]

Are you he is real?

[Mnemosyne]

Will you please clarify?

[sree]

Clarify what?

[Mnemosyne]

Can you please use simple words because you clearly do not have any idea even of what you are saying, or do I have to rectify everything you say with much less pleasant methods?

[FourStellar]

Will you tell me what the less pleasant methods are?

[Mnemosyne]

What if I were to propose that you be strapped down with the most uncomfortable of ropes that would dig into your flesh before deciding anything further?

[FourStellar]

Will you be doing the strapping?

[Mnemosyne]

What if I was the one binding you to the point of immobility?

[FourStellar]

What if I didn't mind?

[Mnemosyne]

Are you not going to fight whatever might come after you are all tied up?

[FourStellar]

Would I have a choice?

[Mnemosyne]

Do you think that along with taking away your ability to move I would steal your freedom to choose as well?

[FourStellar]

What if I said I trusted you to not do permanent damage?

[Mnemosyne]

Do you think you could define what you think 'permanent damage' is so I can get back to you on whether or not such a thing might occur?

[FourStellar]

Don't you know your own strength?

[Mnemosyne]

Do you think I can control myself?

[FourStellar]

Didn't I tell you I trusted you?

[Mnemosyne]

How can you trust me when I don't even trust myself?

[FourStellar]

If not you, who could I trust?

[Mnemosyne]

Why do you want to trust anyone?

[FourStellar]

Wouldn't you feel soulless without the ability to trust?

[Mnemosyne]

Did you ever think I really had a soul to begin with?
