[The basics. It was a rather vague sort of answer so he couldn't accurately judge how much Bourne actually knew. Not that it really mattered since, eventually, he would know everything. It irritated him, the inevitability of having his life experiences dissected under a microscope, especially since he already knew why he was here.
For years, he'd been slipping, not in terms of skill but rather his code of ethics. Whether it was bitterness, futility, or something else, somewhere along the line, he'd stopped caring -- or rather, stopped caring enough. He'd crossed lines of his own making, and it just didn't seem to matter. Not really. Every now and again, it bothered him, true, but not enough to really change.
This issue wasn't that he couldn't see the problem. It was that he didn't have the motivation to do anything about it. Maybe things would have been different given a little more time, but as of this moment, any desire he might have had to graduate was non-existent. He wouldn't say it, but the sentiment was there nonetheless.]
I'd rather you kept it to yourself.
[An unnecessary comment, maybe, but as he was still fairly certain that Tim would want a look at his file, it bore mentioning at the very least.]
