[ She comes over to the bed! is he on the top bunk or bottom? ]

I wouldn't say that. I just happen to have something useful to them, that's all.

. . . I’m really sorry. If I’ve done that to you. I guess I have, huh?

But we’ll get you out of here. I won’t— I’ll make sure of it, okay?

[applechemist]

[ She shakes her head. ]

It's okay. I'm sorry, I didn't mean that like a complaint.

[ she just doesn't think that 'trust' was a big factor in anyone coming to her. ]

Don't worry about me, right now. I'm more worried about how this place is going to punish you. It's... More pressing.

[chaoticlootral]

You’re allowed to complain. I think you’ve got a lot to complain about.

[His mouth tightens into a line at the punishment thing, but . . . ]

I guess that’s tomorrow’s problem, isn’t it?

[applechemist]

Only things that I brought on myself.

[ ... ]

Do you have... Um... Anything up your sleeve?

[chaoticlootral]

What the hell? You didn’t bring anything on yourself. Don’t say things like that, I’ll roast you in public. Listen— you got at least us who care about you, and probably a whole lot of other people who at least owe you. Never underestimate a favor. You’re helping a lot, you know.

[ . . . ]

Yeah. I do. I’ll tell you after if it works, okay?

[applechemist]

[ ... Escha laughs lightly. Is it a diversion tactic to avoid being serious? .......... Maybe so. ]

I think I'd be honored to get, um, "roasted" in public. It's always so funny when it happens to other people.

[ But - she nods at that last bit. She'll just have to trust him. ]
