I nod slowly, making sure to keep my expression interested, yet neutral. Time to veer away from the target. "Oi, climbing the ladder," I groan, spreading my legs back out and flopping over onto the pillow at the head of my bed. "If only it really was as easy as passing a few tests and bang! There you are, where you want to be."
I shift my head over to meet his eyes again, then roll mine. "But nope. Step by step of the way, you've got to please somebody somewhere. Nothing's truly fair around here, you know? Everyone's watching over everyone. Can't hardly even relax."
