[ the way this just bounces right off of him ]

Well, I don't feel like we'll find a way out right this second, definitely, but... there are a lot of people here who are very capable. The pathway out won't be easy, but I do think we'll be able to find it.

[ the hives are setting in. ]

The "pathway"'s never easy, but it's not like we have something we just can easily stab our way through.

[ just vague information, monster possessions and ominous words. ] That's not a lot to go off of.

[flameguard]

No, so, we'll just have to work together to find it.

[ teamwork!! ]

I think the four who came to see us do want to help us - we could probably start by asking them for help. Or at least a little information! Something to get us started.

[haematocritical]

[ gazes ]

If they do want to help they have an interesting way of showing it.

[flameguard]

Do you think so...?

[ their bitchy attitude is unfortunately the exact kind of thing rondo responds well to so he didn't even think of that ]

I think they want to help - we all have the same goal, right? Getting out of here.

[haematocritical]

Perhaps.

We also don't know a damn thing about them or if they really do want to help us.

[flameguard]

That is true. But, I think... if everything they said yesterday was a lie, I think it'd probably make more sense to lie to us and say things aren't as bad as they are than tell us a cult is trying to sacrifice us, you know?

They also panicked when they first came - when their veil spell or whatever it was wasn't functioning. That makes me think that they really are putting themselves in danger to help us, which lends a little more credibility to their story.

[ rondo is sometimes an idiot but he does have a logic brain in there somewhere ]

[haematocritical]

[ let him be angry. ]

I would still call this very fast to be trusting them. Even if they are planning to help, it make not work out in the way they want, at our expense.

[flameguard]

Mmm...I wouldn't call it trust, necessarily... but, that's a really good point, Mr. Astarion.

[ rondo's nose wrinkles up as he thinks... ]

It's more like...out of necessity, if that makes sense...? I don't think ignoring everything they have to say is going to be very helpful.

[haematocritical]

[ but what if he wants to be contrary. ]

... I'm aware. If they have useful things to share, then it's worth knowing. But do take it with a pinch of salt at the very least. If they do turn on you, you'll have no remorse when it comes to getting revenge.

[flameguard]

...Getting revenge....?

[haematocritical]

If they're playing us all for fools.

[flameguard]

...I can't say I'm much of the revenge type, Mr. Astarion, but if you say so....

[haematocritical]

I am.

[ haha. ]

But I did say "if".

[flameguard]

[ every white haired person he's ever known is like this so he nods ]

...Well!! I guess we just have to see what happens, right? It might be good, or it might be really bad. No way to tell yet.

[haematocritical]

[ rondo just like this scans. ]

True.

Still, it's better to expect the worst out of them. So we can't be surprised.

[flameguard]

Then... I'll expect the best! Then we can meet in the middle.

[haematocritical]

If that is what helps you sleep at night, then why not.

[flameguard]

... I guess...?

[ help ]

It takes all kinds, right...?

[haematocritical]

I suppose we’ll see if the doubters or believers have a better time of it at the end.
