Unless they’re lying to us about why we were actually brought here.

[Daisy points out. Not thrilled with that possibility, despite it being her theory.]

[drawsblood]

Well...

[ There's a pause as he thinks things over. ]

If they went to the trouble to bring us all here, wouldn't that mean they had time to plan out all their lies too?

[morethan084]

Exactly.

[The more she thinks about this possibility, the more she hates it.]

So, we have no way of knowing whether or not they’re being truthful or if this is all for some selfish gain of theirs.

[drawsblood]

Hm.

[ A difficult position to be in, mentally. To always be questioning if what they're doing means anything or not. ]

Whatever the case, it will be faced head on.

[morethan084]

They already know too much about us.

[Which gives them an advantage.]

So we’ll need to find out whatever we can on them.

[drawsblood]

And asking them won't work. There will need to be other methods.

[ A pause. ]

If Echo is anything like the orb at Amaryllis Grove, we will have to be careful what we say.

[morethan084]

[The thought that she could be spying on them had crossed her mind.]

The way she was spoken about makes her seem like she’s some kind of higher being. Or no longer alive, but some kind of AI like Aurora.

[drawsblood]

Yes. Which is why we'll have to be cautious.

[ It irks him that there always seems to be a higher power at play. In his world his strength was good enough - or it was until the mages felt it could do more - but there seems like there's little it could do here. ]

In the meantime, we shouldn't let ourselves be targeted by doing anything rash. As much as I might wish to. But if I have learned anything from chasing orbs, it's that sometimes you must wait for an opening for information.

[morethan084]

[Daisy smiles sadly when he talks about having to be patient. Something she’s know to struggle with from time to time.]

You’re right.

[And she has no problems admitting it. She thinks to reach out and squeeze his hand, but then she remembers how she used her own against him recently and it’s enough to stop her from doing so.]

You should go get something to eat.

[drawsblood]

[ He may be dumb, but even he can tell she doesn't want to be around him anymore, so he pushes away from the door frame and nods. ]

I'll get you a key and bring it to you later. All right?

[morethan084]

[Daisy tries to smile, but it barely reaches her eyes.]

Thanks.

[She will be here when he gets back, but she likely won’t be sleeping in the bed with him tonight. If anything, she’ll unintentionally fall asleep on the couch.]
