[It seems someone has decided to change his voicemail following graduation. Hes trying so hard to sound professional, business like, but Hanna's usual enthusiasm bleeds through easily.]
You have reached the mailbox of Hanna Cross. If you don't have an appointment, my secretary will follow up with a return message shortly. [a short pause.] meaning me. I'll get back to you, don't worry.
And if this is an emergency what are you doing on the phone? Cardio is your friend. byyyye!

He has thoughts about talking about things that he feels are private, but the thing is, any answer he can give is his personal opinion. Nothing has been spelled out in confidence.
Is that a breach of privacy if it's speculation based on his behavior around the Barge and not completely rooted in his file?]
Alright, here's the deal.
Im gonna ask you if you think this relationship they have is worth saving. And that might sound a little fucked up, but im not an idiot, and I know between the two of them, theyve got some pretty fucking nasty bad habits, some of which I think are necessary to leave behind if they're gonna graduate. I could be wrong, but thats where im at.
Regardless of how you answer, I'm still gonna try mind you, but if you really think Iago and The Cat King could be functional and happy with each other? I'll spill.
But you gotta really be honest about it, alright? I'm trusting your judgement since you know Iago a hell of a lot more than I do, obviously.
no subject
[He's certain of that. True respect, Iago said, and Jedao knows just how much more that can mean than simple affection, for men like them. And other things, things he was told in confidence.]
I don't know if they can be happy, but if they can't, I think it's because they couldn't be happy not-together either. That sounds terrible, but it's...I think they could be very good for each other. I'm not sure either of them has any practice with really being good to someone. But they've got to figure it out sometime, and it might as well be with someone who understands the weird shit they started out with, you know?
no subject
[He thinks it's worth it regardless of how terrible it might be.]
But yeah, no...I get it. And I'll take that any day.
So, um. You know how to graduate you gotta change? CK is of the mind that because of what he is, he can't, Im pretty sure. Like, he gets personally offended when ever I mention newly shit, or unlearning behavior and I'm starting to think he does that not just because he thinks I'm full of shit but because he believes thats just who he is.
You feel one way for so long and it doesn't feel like hurt, or a knee-jerk reaction, but who you've always been even if it isnt true.

But he sobers a little.
"I...know what you mean. And I don't want to push them when it's too raw. But we'll come up with sometime. Maybe there'll be a flood we can use."

In my experience that isn't so true of the supernatural. They live longer, or have natural instincts, and changing it would be fundamentally wrong. I get that, but I think he's stopped knowing the difference between nature and learned behavior. [As much as Hanna plays the idiot and is one at times, he actually is decent at detective work, doing research, it's the practical application of that knowledge that gets him stumbling sometimes if he has to work it out. He never has the right thing to say at the right moment.]
We're due for one though, so maybe we'll be lucky. Also, um. This is a weird ask, but if you think of anyone who might actually get along with him, that's not a cat? Maybe push them his way. He's going to try to go to ground I think, and it can't just be me and his cats that try and pull him out of it cause it probably won't work so well...
no subject
I'll try, at least. I like cats. And even if he's awful and jealous at me, that's at least some proof that he cares about Iago after all.
no subject
And I have to wonder, does he know you and Iago are close? I've never heard him say a peep about you, but that doesn't mean he doesn't...just that he tells me fuck all.
no subject
[Smell it.]

I cheat with that, but that's thanks to the admiral. It was kind of irritating having him comment on my hygiene all the time when there's like fuck all I can actually do about it so all he gets off me is calming cat pheromones, like those plug-in thingies for people with cats that hate each other? He stopped trying to hit me so much after that, I don't know if he's even realized I did it and it's been like...six months.

[Hanna taps his cheek as he thinks about it.]
I think if you did he might get real wise to the fact that you're trying maybe a little too hard? I'd leave the nip to Aerith. She's his supplier.
