Ah, you misunderstand. I'm not saying you should trust me—very much the opposite. I'd consider you an idiot if you did.
[ they are not asking for trust. ]
However, practically speaking, you stand to gain more from working with us than not. Especially because—as I said, I'm fairly weak. I may be in a position of relative power to you, but that doesn't mean you couldn't just kill me.
I'm aware of that, so. I don't consider myself much of a threat to you. Though it flatters me you'd consider me one.
You do not always have to be strong to be a threat to someone. Surely you’re aware of that?
[ … ]
An adjustment period would be nice. Perhaps I’ll decide I’m ready to be a little more trusting then. [ and then ironically he was because nehan just mcheckin’ died. ]
[ even so, they're possibly being sincere about this since they are extremely killable and demonstrate this immediately. ]
Though again, I really have no interest in your trust... We can get along amicably enough without it. [ they do not sound amicable, they sound permanently exhausted ] How well have you been adjusting to this hellhole?

Well, if there’s something hiding under this village I suppose we’ll need shovels. [ and a will to dig. ]
no subject
Sorry. You might have to recruit the others for manual labor.
Is that your request for the week? A shovel? [They sound sooooo serious about this.]
no subject
[ noooo. ]
Although-- is it one request overall, or one per each one of you? [ loop holes? ]
no subject
Oh, you do have some cheek on you. One overall. We do communicate. [ no trying to ask dad because mom says no. ]
no subject
Oh, my apologies for not being quite as entertaining after the whole kidnap and monster cult sacrifice thing. I’ll do better next time.
[ awwwww. he does nod though. ]
Better than nothing.
no subject
coolly: ]
Please do. If we must be called out here like this, I'd at least like to be entertained a little.
no subject
no subject
I did anticipate it, though most people have asked very inane personal questions.
no subject
[ four mysterious strangers… oooh who could they be. ]
Getting to know if someone’s a threat or not is rather important.
no subject
And? You've had a minute to assess. Do you consider me a threat?
no subject
Right now? Somewhat.
[ after friday? less so. ]
no subject
[ they sound very mildly amused. not in a genuinely mirthful way. ]
In my opinion, I'm not very dangerous.
no subject
Would you automatically trust four people appearing in front of you right after you got kidnapped?

no subject
Amicable is better than you exerting power and rank over us. I suppose.
no subject
I'd like to think so. I'm not someone of any sort of status anyway, wouldn't be very good at pretending otherwise.
no subject
I would say in this situation your status is higher than ours on principle, personally. I’m not sure that provides you with any benefits, however.
