✖ IC CONTACT #2

[silverking]

If you have managed to find your way here, then you must have exhausted all other methods of contact by now. My sincerest apologies, but I am a very busy man these days.

You have my attention now, so please speak your mind.

Of course, there are several ways to interpret the words we use day-to-day. I would advise you to choose yours carefully should you opt to leave a message.

Has your opinion changed? Um, about the... inevitable.

[Straight to the point.]

[silverking]

All things change, we've been over this. My opinion included. It might have been different if circumstances had remained the same, but they did not. We're one hundred steps from where we were back then, and still moving forward at a steady pace.

[INCH #1. Maybe more like half an inch, but. It's a step.]

[silverking]

Cooked?

[The tone is faintly playful...in fact, as he flips on the video feed, so is his smile.]

If it is, I doubt they'd worry if they knew.

[Or they might, but so long as it isn't in enormous quantities, it should be fine, right? By their standards.]

When did you begin doing that?

[priscilla]

...when I came back from awakening.

And. It's rare. Not raw, but... not cooked. Not exactly.

[She tips her head a little.]

I still won't eat rabbits, though. Or deer. Or... ducks. No matter what Arthur says.
