Because I said they were bad? Or because I suggested you not try again.

If the latter, I apologise. Regular practice is the only way to improve. I shouldn’t discourage anyone from it.

[freshprints]

It's not important. I impulsively attributed a motivation to your behavior that you probably didn't have.

Were you intentionally trying to hurt my feelings, or did you assume I don't have any?

This isn't a trick question. I'm curious.

[hierophany]

The former. Mostly motivated by curiosity.

The performance is there for a reason. Most people don’t like the person I am when it ends. I wanted to know if a complete lack of pretence really was what you wanted.

[freshprints]

Hm. I suppose that's better than the alternative.

Besides, I think you're overplaying your hand. Intentionally trying to hurt my feelings was a performance, too.

[hierophany]

A little. Perhaps I wanted to deter you from pointing out the performance. Which has clearly backfired.

[freshprints]

I doubt it. I know what you look like when something has backfired on you.

It's not this.

[hierophany]

I'll spare us both the part where I pretend not to know what you're talking about.

Things can backfire to different degrees.

[freshprints]

Like your attempt at convincing me that your previous actions had backfired?

I'd say that attempt backfired.
