[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.]

But I would challenge you to consider if you have ever truly given these sessions a chance.

Date: 2025-05-31 06:23 pm (UTC)In what way have I not engaged?
no subject
Date: 2025-05-31 06:26 pm (UTC)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
Date: 2025-05-31 06:30 pm (UTC)Or perhaps you are ascribing 'reluctance' to that which is not there at all.

I have to say, Thrawn, I'm disappointed in your decision. I've enjoyed our talks, and I apologize for making you feel interrogated.

Date: 2025-06-01 01:10 am (UTC)[Florian later on will tell Thrawn that he has to continue, but he doesn't know this yet]
I find that difficult to believe.

I can understand why that might be difficult for you to understand.

I do that because I care.

Date: 2025-06-01 05:15 pm (UTC)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.
