[ they'll come to allen, out by the fountains. ]

It wasn't us, if that's what you mean. I can't answer for our bosses, though.

[ troubling. they keep shifting anxiously, but try not to let it show. ]

[lefthandpath]

[Allen's a little tense himself, more because there's been so many people injured and so many people dead...]

I'd be a little more relieved if I understood the situation a little better? But I know you lot can't say too much. But... can you speculate even a little why this would have happened? Does it have something to do with there being three dead today? Or the... explosion?

[grigori]

Trust me, you aren't the only one.

[ sighs. ]

The other two try not to let me get involved too much if they can help it, so I don't know if I'll be much help at guessing what happened. But... no, I don't think it has to do with any of that.

[lefthandpath]

--really? They don't let you get too involved? Why?

[grigori]

Because I'm younger.

[ is now really the time to get huffy, yomiel. ]

[lefthandpath]

[... there is something amusing about this, really.]

Ah. So they're just looking out for you.

[grigori]

I don't need anyone to look out for me when people keep dying.

[ some people would say that's exactly the time that they should look out for others, but go off, i guess! ]

[lefthandpath]

But it's things like that that make them worry, maybe...?

You should be looking out for yourself as much as you're looking out for others, you know. Or, that's what I'm told, anyway.

[grigori]

If we aren't the ones getting killed, they shouldn't be worried about me.

...I'm fine.

[ sulky, though. ]

[lefthandpath]

You're still at risk, though, are you not? Otherwise, Rameel wouldn't be concerned about poofing into dust if they say too much, but they are.

I'm also someone who hasn't been injured or killed. Should I also be saying that people shouldn't worry after me?

[grigori]

Even if that's a risk to us, it's not nearly as bad as getting killed, Walker.

[ hello? ]

And that's not what I meant and you know it.

[lefthandpath]

Maybe I do.

I just can't really agree with that point about being killed being worse. I've almost been killed a lot of times. It's the "almost" that's always more painful.

But if you think the risk is worth it, then what's really stopping you from pushing at it to try to help us more? The others?
