It’s just really funny to me how Kal’tsit is looking at everything with frank realism that you can’t really scoff at, but Doctor has MC Charisma, so in the end, it looks like her very well-founded concerns are just her being a worrywart.
Kal’tsit: “We cannot trust SilverAsh… We always need to keep in mind that he is, at the end of the day, the leader of his own rising star of a faction. He’s incredibly smart, a competent fighter, and a resolute businessman. Don’t get too close to him, don’t trust him completely, and most importantly, don’t offend him.”
SilverAsh: “My friend, my rival, my companion, how are you doing today? Is Encia doing alright? Oh, I know, I know, I should be using her codename, but what’s some honesty between friends? So, how about another game of chess over some finely aged Kamizierz whiskey I imported? It’s a new label not yet available to the public, so I need a taste-tester to tell me how good it is. Are you up for the job?”
Kal’tsit: “That assassin of the Scionless League, Platinum, cannot be trusted. Her loyalties are too fleeting and she is far too independent. Not only did she openly falsify all of her data, she also knows we can’t do anything to her about it because she has kept her end of the contract flawlessly otherwise, sans minor infractions such as skipping menial in-base duties. Be careful around her… If only we could earn her trust to be sure she’ll stay with Rhode Island… But someone as enigmatic as her is too difficult to build a bond with…”
Platinum, somehow in your room: “Hey, killer, how’s it hanging? Cancel all of your plans for tomorrow, I called someone I know and she’s letting us use her laser tag arena all day for free tomorrow. I have our escape route planned out, so snacks are on you, we good? Coolio, man, see you tomo… Hey, is that couch comfy? Nah, was thinking I could stay the night here, my bed’s gotten boring, I got some movies so we could watch that, that ok with you? Cool, let me bring the good stuff, be right back.”
Kal’tsit: “Skadi is incredibly enigmat–”
Skadi: “Oh, I come from the bottom of the sea.”
