[What a strange question. It's not the sort of thing people take an interest in...] Enjoyment is secondary to the satisfaction I have. Lives depend on me, multiple times over. If I were removed, there would be less discerning people who would take my place, and the situation would deteriorate.
[There is, well.] Sometimes I enjoy it. The man I mentioned before-- whether we're working together or at odds, his presence is always... entertaining.
