[ He has a few guesses, obviously, but he doesn't want to assume. If there's one thing he knows from practically living in the minds of all manner of awful people, it's that things like this can come from all sorts of places and trying to understand it requires an open mind.]
I'm not sure. And I do want to know the answer from you.
[ He tips his head towards the camera. ]
But since you won't answer me, I have to try and guess and work from there. I don't mind being corrected, but the only one who can do that is you and you don't care to.

So where does that leave us?

Just so we're clear, you could have put down the communicator at any time. But I would like to know: are you planning on killing me?
Just curious.
[ He doesn't actually look concerned. But he does realize one other thing.]
And you never actually answered my question.

Date: 2018-12-02 03:39 pm (UTC)I'll honor your request to the best of my abilities, as long as it doesn't interfere in the safety or well being of the rest of the barge.
[ Which is the qualifications he'll set on just about anything, ones he figured should be unspoken but apparently not with this one.]
Though you still didn't answer about intending to kill me. Or should I just look forward to that surprise?
