[The words are written in haste, a note made while distracted.]

They are hints; and unclear as they are, we should be grateful for the knowing.

No, none of us is truly within his rights to judge.

[They're talking strange circles now, he knows. And it will probably come back to haunt them later.]

Or exempt from the weight of wondering about this.

[Here, have an attempt at candidness, even if it curves, too.]

Indeed; but the greater the weight, the more pressing the need to remain calm.

[And answered in kind.]

How do you gauge this, then, with a tranquil mind? Even recognising the signs isn't sure to give them a proper sense.

[Such teacher pings, right now. Cryptic conversation is cryptic.]

It is easier when the signs point to a truth that one has suspected for a while.

[And not about to become any less cryptic anytime soon. He trusts Hawk; the journals, not so much.]

And when the signs are familiar but what they imply turns their meaning on its head?

[Shh, we are totally talking in generalities here.]

There is no contradiction. The same language can be used to say many things.

[/generalizes harder.]

That's to be expected, I'd say, considering all our origins. But certain signs still mean certain things to each of us.

[This is all becoming a respectable amount of words used to say next to nothing.]

[After a brief pause.]

There are meanings that are known to all, and thus would be known to us no matter how little of our own lives we recall; and there are meanings that are particular to our circumstances. Having the former in mind, we think our understanding is complete, but in fact that is an illusion.

[There's a lot they're both trying to dodge, after all.]

That's very good advice and very poor consolation, my friend.

It is inescapable.

[Read: Tell me about it.]

So maybe weathering this is enough, for now.
