To start? I wanted my warden to give me privileges and leave me alone. It wasn't until I had any interest in doing anything myself that I wanted anything from him. And that interest came from the things I encountered the longer I was there. If I'd been asked to detail my entire experience that I'd already written off as a horrid nightmare, I think I would have retreated from it all even further.
I don't want his story for his next warden to be that I hit him and only showed interest in a version of him he doesn't take the least bit seriously. I'd like to talk to him about it more. But I don't think I can, just now.
[There's a pause before he comes back with:]
I'm hoping I didn't misunderstand. If you were suggesting my best chance at making things up to him was forcing him to talk about something he found inane, I guess I don't see how that does much for him.
