Little Blaine doesn't understand why someone would try to be scared, but he doesn't ask that as his mind goes over games instead. "I don't know how to play any games I like," he says after a moment. He hadn't been with the Wilys for long enough for them to teach him any of their games, and the games played by either the people of Lud or Big Blaine... he didn't even want to think about those, much less play them.
"He's only been with us for about a day... or so, Nexus time being what it is," Quint says. "And he wasn't even mobile when we found him. Just stuck in some big server system under a ruined city."
