Player-

You've committed yourself, already. If you want to seek a second game, even that will not be with me. I have work to do and a charge to fulfill; you can't just pluck me up to toy with because you're re-watching the series and you see him somewhere.

[Kallen would comment something along the lines of "I don't need your help", being the indignant woman that she can be at times, but what he says next catches her attention immediately. It causes her to gape her mouth and shake her head briskly with her gaze averted. No way is she having that conversation with him!]

I'm fine!

[She'll forgo certain aspects of Zodion in favor of mentioning her general thoughts about that place instead.]

I've been there for over five months. Sometimes it's okay, other times it's aggravating. Right now, it's tolerable.

[oathtotheking]

[Of course she doesn't need his help, she's certainly strong enough to handle herself! But he still has a role to fill, and he's on better terms with his moral compass now. Not that his moral compass would have ever let him not find a need to assist or at least offer assistance to someone in the position Kallen's in at Zodion. "Trapped somewhere run by perverts" is less than an ideal setting in many senses.

Following her reaction, Zero's just not going to push the topic. Especially not when she changes it to something broader.]

I suppose that's better than the alternative.

[No, really?]

[gurenpiloting]

[This look, Zerosuzy.]

Anything is better than the alternative.

[Otherwise there would be a lot of angry retorts towards her mun, who would no doubt place her elsewhere. Then again...]

[oathtotheking]

[Keywords, too?]

Aside from leaving, I'd imagine.

[It's... difficult talking to someone you've rarely seen eye-to-eye with, even when operating under the (possibly erroneous) assumption they don't know who you are. And the topic doesn't help, considering neither of them really want to talk about it.]

..And you're sure you're alright there.

[Out of respect for her well-being.]

[gurenpiloting]

[Not this time.]

Several people have attempted to blow up the Luminar to see if an exit is possible.

[Kallen is among those people who joined in, but she doesn't mention it aside from the implied tone she uses. At his statement, she nods with reassurance.]

You're talking to someone who's been through a lot worse than this. Like I said, I'll be fine.

[oathtotheking]

[Well, that's fortunate.]

I take it there's not been much headway made in that direction.

[Given the use of "attempted". And though she's reassuring on that other point... For a second, his shoulders sag slightly, resigning himself to the fact that she'll probably always answer like that.]

Alright.

[But that doesn't mean she's fine yet.]
