Liliana Vess Defiant Necromancer

Liliana considered him for a few seconds, then sighed. "You have no idea how much I am sure this is going to be used against me," she informed him, meaning by him personally, but he wouldn't understand that just yet. "I am too much a teacher for my own good. Hmph."

Another long-suffering sigh and then she said, "There are many reasons for this, my darling. One may simply be at capacity - what you consider to be very easy may be a great deal to someone else. They might be at capacity from other things you're not considering. Illness, additional responsibilities, extra training...even emotional issues can take a toll. It's much harder to focus when you're grieving or angry or worried or stressed, and your need for rest increases."

She looked at him again with that considering look, though with slightly different calculations in mind, and then got up and slide next to him on the bench instead of across.

"There are some people who are just truly lazy," she admitted, "but they are much more rare than people think. I know who you're thinking of, but you have you truly considered his point of view? Throw away the idea that he's just doing this because he's lazy or doesn't care or is being a brat. Can you think of reasons why Noctis might be acting out in these ways? What he might be trying to accomplish?"
