[ophidia]

[The mental impression that comes with the connection is clean, precise. Confident in reaching like this, touching so many minds at once. If anything there's a desire, simmering beneath, to press and push even further than one simple stated request.]

( I need everything we have on the Carpathans. )

[And he sounds like he expects to get it.]

Comments

[ryohji]

( I did what was asked of me. )

[ answered like it goes without answering, as though he should’ve known better than to ask. ] ( When people talk, it’s best to listen. The old fashioned way, I might add. )

[ in case his next question concerns the placing of slime into jars. ]

[ophidia]

[Listening makes sense. Richard's well-versed in that kind of recon. But there's still a roll of bemused judgement that comes off him.]

( You "did what was asked of you." )

[He has to wonder if this guy's ever stopped and heard himself talk.]

[ryohji]

( Ah, sorry - what was asked of you, too. )

[ richie can rest assured knowing each and every word has been weighed and calculated before it ever sees the light of day outside his mouth. for good or ill. ]

[ophidia]

( Yeah, I got it the first time. )

[And got that it was a bullshit non-answer, even if he'd followed it with something closer to what Richard was actually asking for. Maybe this guy had supplied something interesting, but he is definitely earmarking him as evasive and annoying.]
