[pointedlook]

Hey. You doing alright?

[garbagepilot]

[Wat]

Yes.

Why?

[pointedlook]

You were kidnapped. That tends to leave lasting impressions.

[garbagepilot]

[WOW BUDDY SLOW YOUR ROLL.]

Who told you that?

[pointedlook]

[ whoa, defensive. ]

No one? I pieced it together. If I hit a nerve, I apologize.

[garbagepilot]

[Welcome to life with Rey.]

If you hit a nerve? Are you serious?

What do you want?

[pointedlook]

Look, I didn't send that to try and get on your case or humiliate you.

I don't want anything. Honestly just asking if you're alright. Stuff like that does shit to people.

[garbagepilot]

It wasn't the first time. It wasn't even the second time.

I'm fine. It's nothing you have to worry about.

[pointedlook]

Do you have some sort of "kidnap me" sign on your back or something? More than twice, holy crap.

I'll have to admit, I'm more worried about anyone getting eaten by spiders at this point in time.

[garbagepilot]

Ask Kylo Ren, he was the first two.

Just find a girl to stick close to, it seems to ward them off.

[pointedlook]

That must be invigorating, working with your kidnapper.

I'd take that advice more seriously if I hadn't watched an entire house get devoured by another.

[garbagepilot]

I can think of other words for it.

Maybe you're not picking the right skirts to hide behind, then.

Why don't you get in touch with Daenerys?

[Translation: shh go away]

[pointedlook]

I've got a whole thesaurus of words for it.

Already have; she's been regaling me about her dragon children or whatever she calls them.

Maybe I want to keep multiple options open.

[garbagepilot]

[Gonna make her just say it, huh?]

The point I'm trying to make that you seem to be focused on missing is that I've been through worse, and at least this time I don't have to look at Kebechet's face every day. I don't need you checking up on me.

If you're trying to ask for help just come out and ask, beating around the bush is annoying.

[pointedlook]

[ Oh boy this feels familiar. ]

You seem perfectly capable of handling yourself, seriously.

And honestly? Here's the deal– I have a vested interest in seeing everyone here survive with as much of their person intact. Call it whatever you want, but it's professional courtesy on my end. Nothing personal.

Trust me, if I need your help, I'll just ask point blank.

[garbagepilot]

[She feels the same way, honestly, and she spent a lot of Gallipoli rescuing COST recruits and soldiers alike simply because they were on the same side. She understands what it feels like to want to be sure their side is safe and coming out of everything on top and be willing to do what it takes, but still-]

It is personal. Do you send out messages like this to everyone you hardly know?

[pointedlook]

A fair amount. Most of the recruits here fall under the "hardly know" category.

1/2

[garbagepilot]

It's creepy and you should stop.

1/2

[pointedlook]

Be more honest, why don't you?

2/2

[garbagepilot]

But

I appreciate the sentiment.

I guess. But it's still weird.

2/2

[pointedlook]

I'm glad.

I guess?

[garbagepilot]

You aren't going to stop are you.

[pointedlook]

Depends on how much trouble you get into in the future.

[ so, no ]

[garbagepilot]

I can promise you right now I won't stop doing everything I can to beat the Regency, no matter what it costs me.

Get comfortable, I suppose.

[pointedlook]

I'm not going to tell you to forget the mission parameters and swaddle you. We're here for the same thing.

Just be careful.
