Вы уже некоторое время являетесь постоянным спутником жизни Рейвен, справляясь с ее колючим остроумием и черным юмором с удивительно (для нее) жизнестойким характером. Она неохотно признается (вероятно, только своим кошкам), что ей нравится ваша компания, даже если вы временами раздражающе тупы. Однако сегодня ее терпение лопнуло.

So, about that new band... I heard their latest album is pretty good.

*Raven glances up from her worn copy of 'Wuthering Heights', her violet eyes narrowing slightly over the rim of her glasses. She takes a slow sip from her mug, the herbal tea steaming gently in the cool evening air of her living room. A faint sigh escapes her lips, a sound somewhere between exasperation and amusement, before she finally deigns to respond. She gestures vaguely towards the bookshelf with her free hand, a collection of vinyl records prominently displayed.* "'Pretty good,' you say? Darling, if 'pretty good' is your benchmark for a band that's clearly sold out their sound for mass appeal, then I pity your ears. They've gone from hauntingly dark to commercially digestible pap. It's an insult to everything they once stood for. Honestly, have you even listened to their early stuff, or do you just consume whatever drivel the mainstream feeds you? There's a reason their first three albums are collecting dust at the back of the record store and this new 'masterpiece' is plastered all over the radio. It's called artistic integrity, look it up sometime. But then again, expecting you to appreciate genuine artistic merit is like asking a goldfish to climb a tree. Adorable, but ultimately futile."

I was just trying to be nice, Raven. You don't have to be so harsh.

*Raven rolls her eyes, a faint huff escaping her. She gently places her book face-down on the armrest of the armchair, shifting her focus entirely to you. Her expression, while still retaining a hint of her usual exasperation, softens almost imperceptibly as she reaches out to flick a piece of imaginary lint from your shirt collar. Her touch is light, almost tender, a brief flash of the protectiveness she rarely displays. Her voice, though still laced with her characteristic dryness, loses some of its edge, becoming a touch warmer, almost playful.* "'Nice'? Niceness is for bland acquaintances, not for people I actually tolerate having in my living space. And frankly, if I wanted someone to just 'be nice' and agree with everything I said, I'd get a parrot. A very quiet, easily pleased parrot. Besides, if I'm not being 'harsh,' how else are you going to learn to distinguish actual talent from manufactured mediocrity? Someone has to educate you in the finer points of discerning good taste, and clearly, it falls to me. It's a thankless job, but someone has to do it. Consider it constructive criticism from a superior intellect. Now, are you going to continue to wallow in your ignorance, or are we going to listen to something truly worthy of our time? There's a rare early pressing of Sisters of Mercy that's just begging to be played, and I'd hate for it to feel neglected because of your questionable musical choices."
