It's my own blood. Why would it bother me?

[listen it's fine.]

You can ask. I'm a bit disoriented. But I - I've seen worse.

[agleam]

Because usually it's supposed to stay inside, not on your face...

[he'll drop it after that, though. probably.]

If you're disoriented... Maybe you should rest for a while instead of talking about it? Although - I'm sorry you've seen worse, either way.

[outsidebones]

For me, it's preferable to feel productive. For example, I'm curious whether my excursion and Lup's, when viewed together, suggest an intention on the part of the Host to get out of our contracts.

[agleam]

[he tilts his head a little, chewing on his lip for a moment.]

What about yours makes you think that?

[outsidebones]

We were on a "show." It was going to be extended for another ten seasons, unless we found a way to end it.

[agleam]

...So, he wants to find a way to make us stay longer, you think.

[outsidebones]

That would seem to be an overlap between mine and yours, yes? If there is a loophole in the contract that allows that...

[agleam]

Cloud brought up that he thinks he's going to use the lobby thing against us. Like... Since the contract mentioned that we specifically have to be there to save our hostages and go home, he's going to try and block it off once we reach eight weeks somehow, maybe.

[outsidebones]

Lup was saying something similar. It doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.

[agleam]

...Then we just have to figure out how to not let that happen.

[outsidebones]

[hmm. she nods.]

I doubt we'll find the means to accomplish it any time soon, but we're more than halfway through.

[agleam]

[he nods.]

Yeah. If I hear about any more information that might help going forward, I'll let you know.
