Hey, every one of us glorious abductees! A question, to those listening right now, brought to you by myself and Master Archeval due to the considerations of a friend, but: what would you make of being informed that, and here I'm quoting, "The man you trust was six years not among us?"

( A dramatic pause, for digestion purposes. )

All said and done, with that message slipped to me, I can say with certainty there's a handful I fully trust here, and there's none I trust entirely from here, no offense. However, there is one we've been forced to trust, ah? In hearing these words, what are your thoughts?

To shield you.

[weifinder]

You're so direct! Then second to that, and ensuring Sizhui's general health and well being?

[downswing]

To shield you, for alerting what you learned, carelessly.

[weifinder]

( stares at the sky )

Which is convenient in one of those bothersome ways of drawing people out, yes.

[downswing]

If this man listened?

[weifinder]

Or read, in the case of another conversation.

[downswing]

Leave word, as you come and go.

[weifinder]

Please do likewise!

Right now I'm not heading anywhere but in, there are new voices I'm seeking out to speak with in our rag tag number. Along with... well, those who seem not to be here?

[downswing]

I am not the one who risks hunting.

[weifinder]

What are you up to, without risk, ah?

[downswing]

Am I your concern?

[weifinder]

I care

( the punctuation there doesn't exist because he got that far then immediately wished he could say this in a different way and also

sighs to himself, because he's trying, but how does he make the whole communicating thing work? )
