[leitstern]

[He has made attempts against this man's life. "Because you are speaking to me" unseats and unsettles him.]

You must comprehend a great deal how inappropriate that is.

[standvastig]

I am aware.

You are not presently angering me that I would choose to stop speaking.

[While honest, he's not sure that's a good thing to reveal.]

[leitstern]

Only a man unable to examine himself would respond like that.

But I am hardly disposed to argue with you today. It is indeed tiring.

[standvastig]

Yes.

[While it is not clear what Hendrik is agreeing with, he does not choose to expand on his answer.]

Why did you wish to know?

[leitstern]

A man always has his reasons. Can I not have mine?

[Two can play at giving vague answers.]

[standvastig]

True.

[To be honest, he had not expected an answer.]

In any case, good day, if you intend to go out.

[leitstern]

Thank you, but I intend to find peace and solitude away from the crowd.

Unlike you, I refuse to reside inside and be miserable.

[A long stroll into the country, away from the city, away from people. How appealling.]

[standvastig]

You could perhaps find a cave for your peace and solitude.

[That's where his mind goes with Jasper's distaste of the city.]

[leitstern]

That would make it easier for you, would it not? Having me out of the way?

[standvastig]

I have not seen you in weeks, Jasper. You living elsewhere makes no difference.

[leitstern]

Do you truly believe it ever made a difference? I doubt it ever has.

[standvastig]

Then what is the problem?

[leitstern]

Not I, to be sure!

[standvastig]

Then I do not see any issue. If the city is inhospitable, you can surely find other places you will find comfortable. A cave being a suggestion.

[leitstern]

And I will not follow it! I cannot believe you continue to offer the same suggestion.

You can be so tiresome.

[standvastig]

[...Hmm.]

I suppose the suggestion is unnecessary. You would have your own ideas.

[leitstern]

I agree entirely.

Goodbye, Hendrik.

[Upon his word, this man is the most dreadful bore.]
