day 45....... ish??

[unsea]

( Goram Saffit has granted us an audience. )

[ SOMEONE HAS BEEN A stressed maniac BUSY BEE BEHIND SCENES, WOW!! ]

( Three of us have been permitted to meet Saffit in person - myself, Carata and Aoba. We will be utilizing this time to investigate him as a potential source of this turmoil, and searching for further information.

We will be meeting at one of his fundraising benefits in two days. Those who wish to attend may wish to make use of the Station's credit line for something nice to wear, as well as find themselves a plus one. If you are in attendance, feel free to investigate other attendees for anything you find suspect or informative. And note that most of the people in attendance are against the synthetic personhood movement. )

(Not after the last one I went to went south, fast.)

[deployed]

( There's no guarantee that's what will happen with this one. )

[ though that being said. ]

( And even if it does, we could use you there. )

[shiro2hero]

(No, I know. But it puts a bad taste in your mouth.)

(You think it's going to? Bad feeling about this one?)

[deployed]

( I think it's better to be prepared in case it does. )

[ So no specific bad feeling, just general paranoia after months of disasters on Earth. ]

[shiro2hero]

(You have a point...)

[He hates how much sense that makes, and how it's probably going to end with him trucking along.]

[deployed]

( You can always leave. )

[ as far as bellamy knows, anyway. but what follows is a PRIVATE assurance. ]

( I'll be there, if you need someone to lean on. )

[shiro2hero]

[Maybe. But if he's there, then he might as well be making himself useful.]

[Being linked in the head means the flicker of surprised gratitude doesn't need to be said. And probably means he doesn't have to explain his next words are meant to be a joke, more than anything.]

(Are you asking me out? I heard this was a plus one event.)

[Thanks, in other words. He doesn't know if he wants to, even with backup, but he appreciates the support.]

[deployed]

( Well, if you don't have any other takers... )

[ It's a quiet you're welcome, hopefully without making too much of a big deal. ]

[shiro2hero]

[He laughs, but it's all self-depreciation.]

(I really doubt there's going to be any at all. After... you know. Things happening.)

[deployed]

( Don't sell yourself short. )

[ Bellamy allows a flicker of contact, deliberately appraising. It's like a mental thumbs up. Congrats on being foxy, Shiro. ]

[shiro2hero]

(I... thank... you?)

[It's like looking at one big, giant question mark flashing over his head.]

(I have no idea what to say to that.)
