Just a fleeting pleasure then. I can't say I object to those. You could have asked me, though. Maybe I could have satisfied you.
[Even if it meant being killed. There's a part of Norton that wants to see if he can trick John into killing him and thus erase the scars he made.]
Or was that what your post to the wardens was about and you wanted something different this time? [Although if the motive for posting about the scopolamine was to hurt Norton, it ultimately ended up being more the other way around, Norton thinks, so he can see why it might not have satisfied the itch.]
[It still bothers him that he doesn't know exactly why John did it. Norton's usually good at understanding what motivates people, but John is slippery. There's his brothers and Eden's Gate and all the rest, but that's just the surface. Underneath...Norton's still trying to work that out.]
Maybe after you get out, if they aren't keeping too close an eagle eye on you.
[And Norton will leave them there in the cell. He's fairly sure John will ignore them, but at least he'll have made it just that tiny bit more difficult for him.]

[He didn't choose him to make Carol's point.]

Anyhoo, back to Fitz. I'm still not sure why you bothered. Did you just want to be punished?

And you normally give me what I want. Though - it is kind of a shame that I haven't been able to use your Christmas present.

Is there anything you'd like me to get you while you're down here? It'll have to go through the wardens of course.

Thanks for coming.
