All right, 'for the foreseeable future, but stiff upper lip, lads: it'll be over eventually!'

[She rolls her eyes.] Constant cynicism gets you nowhere.

[depicted]

Oh, come on. A little cynicism doesn't hurt. It gives the optimists something to argue against. In my experience, it cheers them right up.

[In other words, he isn't seriously cynical, nor is he seriously hopeful. Whatever will be will be.]

[sophos]

I think there's a difference between cynicism and being a realist. But I guess there's a point in that. Who doesn't love a good argument?

[She's shaking her head, because she can read between the lines, and it's not that hard to figure out his middle ground.]

[depicted]

Not, I imagine, the Greeks. Though their rules for argumentation were I suppose a bit more logic-based than the lovers of Hellenism from my period.

[sophos]

Logic's always good to have on your side.

[Says the girl who thrives on logic and rational thinking.]

[depicted]

It has a certain beauty. [He smiles and stage whispers] Don't tell anyone, but I think formal logic is a rather pretty science. Syllogisms are gorgeous constructions.

[sophos]

[Her face lights up with recognition.] It's one of the world's best kept secrets, probably. Though to be honest, I'm not used to random people knowing as much as I do.

[depicted]

Unfortunately, even Eton doesn't seem to recall the value of the trivium. I didn't learn a thing about logic or rhetoric until I was well out of school.

[In the 1870s. Dorian, do you even know what the curriculum is like these days? No? Didn't think so.]

[sophos]

I'm technically still in high school, but I've never gotten much of it either in that particular line of academic settings. At least not in the detail I wanted.

[Hurray self-teaching and Camp Half-Blood!]

[depicted]

Autodidactic?

[sophos]

Yeah. Sometimes it's easier, even with things they do teach in school.
