[an eyebrow raise. Most of their sessions are circular like this: Thrawn hasn't the vocabulary or the inclination to discuss any of his shit further. And he still thinks of Sheehan as an interrogator]
You tell me I am reluctant to 'probe deeper'. I propose an alternative: that there is nothing beyond the answers I have given.
That you are trying to ask the same question in multiple ways when I have already professed I have said all there is to be said suggests a history of interrogation and detective tactics.
[He also does not believe that for an instant, and finds it a very poor manipulation technique. Florian may have mentioned Thrawn's political ineptness to Sheehan, but he hopes he would not have been that naive at any point in his life.]

In what way have I not engaged?
no subject
You have answered questions, but you haven't reflected. You stay on the surface and have been reluctant to probe deeper, even when prompted.
no subject
Or perhaps you are ascribing 'reluctance' to that which is not there at all.
no subject
What do you mean?

No, just a soldier and then a doctor. I'm afraid I don't have what it takes for interrogation. Would you mind if I shared my reports with Florian?
no subject
[He fully expected everything he said to be reported to Florian anyway, and is marginally surprised he's being asked for permission]
no subject
[He runs his fingers through his hair.]
I have to say, Thrawn, I'm disappointed in your decision. I've enjoyed our talks, and I apologize for making you feel interrogated.
no subject
[Florian later on will tell Thrawn that he has to continue, but he doesn't know this yet]
I find that difficult to believe.
no subject
Which part?

[He settles back.]
I can understand why that might be difficult for you to understand.

Do you know why I continue to show up to these sessions?

[He pauses a moment.]
I do that because I care.

no subject
I'm aware that you may not believe me, but - it is the truth. But for now, I would hate to waste any more of your time.
Have a great day, Thrawn.
