I know you're here. I've felt your presence ever since I arrived. Don't you think it's rude, making me wait this long to hear from you?

Comments

[fratropathic]

Whatever surprises might be hiding in those months. I could hardly know the details from my current position.

[He could find them out, but Tieria knows that, and how easy it would be for him. He doesn't want to stoop to threats over a bunch of question marks.]

[Is this dramatic bullshit really necessary.]

If you want to know, you could try asking me.

[fratropathic]

[As necessary as it is likely to stop.]

Maybe. Eventually. You've already eased my mind regarding a few encounters I've had since I arrived, but I wouldn't want to start having to depend on you for all my information here.

[The growing pattern of vague replies isn't promising, and it's only because Regene is a security risk that he's willing to tolerate it. But that doesn't make their conversation any less of a figurative headache.]

What encounters?

[fratropathic]

Both Dylandy brothers, for starters, both identifying themselves as Lockon Stratos.

[How's that for a straight answer? He just times them for maximum impact, that's all.]
