[. . .]

Understandable. [and then there's silence before they clear their throat.]

You're obviously entitled to feel that way.

[agleam]

I'd be more worried if anyone here didn't feel that way.

[...]

What would your answer have been?

[guestservices]

I don't suppose that matters, really. Whether they're in alignment with yours or different, you will continue to be guided by your own thoughts. Won't you?

[agleam]

I'm not going to change my mind, but that doesn't mean I don't want to hear what you think, either.

[guestservices]

And I respectfully ask that you do not continue to pry.

[agleam]

If it's prying when I ask the exact same question you did, doesn't that mean you're prying, too...

[guestservices]

[...i truly hate to do this to you, but gemini is just kind of turning away.]

Was there anything else you needed, Rupert?

[agleam]

[war flashbacks to hugo]

...I mean, yeah, but it's fine. I'll talk to you later.

[guestservices]

My apologies. Later, then.

[which is about all they say before pretty much immediately stepping into shadows and vanishing. sorry rupert, better luck next time.]
