For a surprising change of pace, who is actually in favor of leaving the locals behind? Five hundred thousand odd lives, good as gone. Three hundred fifty of us in safety.

[because everyone who isn't is honestly an idiot.]

No lynching, please, ladies and gentlemen, let's have a civil discussion.

Comments

[senseandcecilbility]

Most would not have cared.

[hyanaimne]

That is the only reason I said anything at all.

[senseandcecilbility]

[He gives her a thin smile.]

I am grateful.

[hyanaimne]

You are grateful I am going to yell at him?

[senseandcecilbility]

Yes, this place...is an alternate version of my home.

[hyanaimne]

. . . perhaps you should yell at him as well, then.

[senseandcecilbility]

It would be rather pointless. Besides, I must save strength for later.

[hyanaimne]

So? My yelling is pointless, too. But I certainly feel better for it. Not much, of course, but.

[senseandcecilbility]

[He shakes his head.]

Your yelling is what good friends do.

[And he doubts any amount of yelling will make him feel better about this. He has...just arrived.]

[hyanaimne]

That makes no sense.

[considering Tempest has never had a good friend. She's done plenty of yelling, though]

[senseandcecilbility]

You must be terribly patient.

[Because Jack.]

[hyanaimne]

Not at all.

[she almost wants to laugh at someone asking if she's patient]

[senseandcecilbility]

Then how do you manage...

[He is honestly intrigued.]

[hyanaimne]

It depends on the situation.

[senseandcecilbility]

How many situations could there be?

[hyanaimne]

Numerous. I have no patience, so it would depend on how angry I get, and how quickly? I guess.

[senseandcecilbility]

May I ask how angry are you now, madam?

[hyanaimne]

Still quite angry, sir.

[senseandcecilbility]

Good, someone has to be.

[hyanaimne]

. . . ah.

[senseandcecilbility]

I will stay behind and do whatever I can.

[hyanaimne]

. . . you are not going with the rest of them?

["Them". The magic word, here]

[senseandcecilbility]

No. I cannot. This place...I cannot abandon it.

[It is my duty.]

[hyanaimne]

. . . good.

[senseandcecilbility]

Are you staying too, madam?
