One thing I never quite understood
Walden's assistant Rodolphus is slowly becoming accustomed to Walden's daily routine despite his cold personality in the beginning.
Rodolphus said, "Waldo, I have been curious about one thing actually. There's just one thing I never quite understood."
Walden insisted, "Out with it then."
Rodolphus asked, "Why were you so mean to me when I first started working for you?"
Walden muttered, "Ah, that. Well, I really didn't want or even think I needed a "protege' or an 'assistant'. In fact, I tried to get you reassigned at least six times, but the Dark Lord was very insistent on you remaining here."
Rodolphus smirked. "You questioned the Dark Lord's order? Very brave, but also very foolish."
Walden shrugged. "To be honest with you, I never really liked you that much before you came here, Rod."
Rodolphus stated, "I wasn't even aware of that fact."
Walden beamed "Hey, what does it matter anyway? I like you now."
Rodolphus mumbled, "Just like?"
Walden grinned. "Ah, okay, I will yield. I love you."
Rodolphus smiled. "I love you too."
