Precisely. No one wants to be around somebody so obviously about to get stepped on.
I do hope so. If we find a door then I’ll check immediately, otherwise I should probably wait as long as I can. A moment of reprieve, when stolen away again, can be so much more painful than none at all. Best not to flirt with such pain, don’t you think?
*Dee’s offer would make him smile if only he could. As it is something stretches under his robes, then relaxes, then folds back into place.* I would owe you much, though I’ve so little to give. Less that something of your sort would find useful. Safety from my Seekers is of no real use outside the Neath. Food cannot help a machine, and the things I give to eat aren’t what the sane enjoy in any case. Human flesh, rat extract, blemmigan nectar and Rubbery Lumps are not appetizing, generally. And yet I owe you for even trying.
