Either way, hopefully they'll have calmed themselves slightly with regards to the incentive next week. I have difficulty imagining it getting much worse than it has been for the past couple of weeks.
[It's... weird to admit it, but he sees no harm in sharing.]
There's really nothing we can do here aside from talk to each other and our captors and explore. We won't find anything they don't want us to find, and they hold all the answers and won't let anything important slip. In a way, acting on such an incentive would be a way to take some manner of control.
[...Oh, he does not like that first part. But that isn't the important thing to address right now, he can think about it later—]
Of course I wouldn't.
[It's simple, as though he couldn't imagine answering otherwise.]
This is designed to push us to kill - I don't fault anyone for considering, or even going through with it. Regardless of what incentive she throws out there, someone is going to kill, simply because of the way things are set up.
[It's hard to say what he thinks of that, whether it's a proper relief or just...good to know.]
I don't particularly care what the others have to say about it. And I'm not interested in recklessness at the moment, so it's hardly a concern right now.
It's not as though any of their opinions matter anyway.
That's good to know, however. Should you change your mind, I certainly would understand. There's no telling what this next week will bring or what they'll offer us next, after all.
[He's quiet for a moment, glancing down at the floor.]
If you decide you want to talk about this sort of thing at any point, my door will always be open to you.
[Not like he really expects Cumore to take him up on it, but the offer's there anyway.]

[Mmngh.]

[you know. for the rest of us.]

I should have tried to claim it myself.

Because at least that would feel somewhat more productive - I might get something I want out of the situation instead of just waiting around to die.
[...Ah.]

She said she brought me here deliberately. That most of us were left up to random chance, but I wasn't.
Will you fault me for it, if I kill someone eventually?
no subject
Of course I wouldn't.

I don't exactly know what to say.
[Well... It admittedly is a nice offer. Reminds him a bit of the recent talk he had with Rean, but...]
...Likewise, of course. If there's ever anything on your mind.
no subject
[And he... does, which is strange and confusing and not something he's going to think too much about.]
Anyway, you don't have to know what to say. I offered it because you're one of the few I find tolerable.
[It's light, almost approaching teasing.]
You don't have to take me up on it at any point, but know the offer is always available.
no subject
[God, he doesn't know what to do with this.]
Perhaps I will sometime. It certainly is good of you, either way.
no subject
Is there anything else you'd like to discuss, or would you care to join me for lunch?
[...Okay, it's a little late for lunch, but listen. He's been trying to avoid running into anyone in the kitchen, it's fine...]
no subject
I can't really help with making anything, but I'd like that.
no subject
[maybe someday he'll get better at cooking...... but that'll probably require a lot more lessons from rean......]
