[HERE'S MS. NO-NONSENSE THEIRIN PUTTING ON HER BEST MAC TIR FACE Maker it's scary how easily she can project her father sometimes addressing the camera with a rather serious expression. it's obvious this is directed at a specific someone...shame she doesn't know how to private conversations.]

With the monsters gone, I suppose I can finally ask something that has been needling my mind for a few weeks now.

[she leans forward, a demanding look in her eyes.]

When shall I be seeing my third roommate back in his rightful, assigned home, Bariyan? I have been told that he seemed awfully receptive to Alistair's invitation, so why is it that after he discussed it with you he suddenly became less inclined to return?

I certainly hope the boy hasn't been fed lies in an attempt to keep him in your possession, Bariyan.

I don't think interfering is the right answer in this matter.

It is Bariyan who interfered.

[boughtabookstore]

Does Martin have somewhere safe to live, currently?

[selfloyalty]

I would assume he is safe with Bariyan, or so the man asserts that he is.

I have not heard from Martin recently, so I cannot say with certainty.

I will speak to Bariyan about this, but airing it publicly was perhaps not a wise choice.

[ She sounds a little weary. ]

Did you tell him not to return?

[stonefaith]

I told him that I did not want him to return. [ MAYBE. might've thrown in something totally reasonable like yeah I think she's still out to kill you too, but, you know. alcohol. can't remember everything, geez. ]

[boughtabookstore]

What reasons did you give?

[stonefaith]

[ pause. ]

I honestly do not remember. I likely told him that Anora had wanted him dead. And that she might, still. Maybe more. I was.... [ DRUNK. but he's not finishing that thought. ]

[boughtabookstore]

[ WHOA whoa hold on here. She can fill in the blanks to that sentence. ]

Where are you right now?

[stonefaith]

In the apartment. Unit 202. [ he doesn't remember if he's told Ros exactly which unit he lives at. ]
