[All they can do is talk business.... let them be comfortable.]

Yes, it seems that in some way, conveniently, this all worked out.

[For the better for him. Not for Gi-gan or Sharpay.]

Though it only brings more questions to my mind. How many such rules and roles must we watch out for?

[toughchoices]

Enough of them to be annoying - but there are only so many of us.

[As their numbers dwindle, they'll have less and less that they need to look out for. ...which is kind of a macabre way of thinking about it, but it is what it is.]

Whoever acted today - we can conclude it was someone who liked you and Jae-ha well enough to save the pair of you.

[...

Or someone who disliked Sousei enough to annoy him by pairing him with Jae-ha, but. She doesn't actually think Jae-ha's that bad......]

[disilluded]

[Yeah he will take being paired up with Jae-ha over being dead about 100 times, thanks mysterious person...]

Indeed. That does not narrow it down much, however; Jae-ha is an irritation, but he has a way of charming people.

[Yourself included, Reyna wonders?

...but, wisely, she doesn't ask.]

I guess we'll see - if they do this again next week, or even if they don't, that should still... tell us something.

[disilluded]

[nOPE]

... I dislike that our only option in many of these things is to "wait and see" when there are lives on the line. There must be other ways to gather answers.

[Some...how...]

[toughchoices]

[sousei is preaching to the choir. reyna makes a face and nods.]

I'd go poking around for answers myself, but...

[she shrugs]

If something happens to me, I don't want to take my partner down with me. They've tied my hands that way. [...] I'll just have to get him on board with it.

[disilluded]

... Yes, you are right. They've hobbled us in a most effective way by tying another's life to ours, curse them.

[Otherwise they'd be risking their lives left and right to find a way out.]

[toughchoices]

The problem is that, clearly, there are some people that don't care about that.

[shARPAY. She very well could have taken Sousei with Gi-gan, and Jae-ha with herself once she was caught; was it worth it? Reyna can't think that it is.]

I pity anyone who's ended up with someone like that for a partner.

[disilluded]

That is truly the problem.

[In all honesty...]

I believe anyone desperate enough to commit murder here will not be concerning themselves with details such as dragging their partner down with them.

[toughchoices]

Right. And we don't know anyone well enough yet to tell if they are the type to be desperate enough to kill as part of this war.

[so many levels of ugh!!]

...if I'm able to come across anything concrete enough to form a guess - I'll share it with you.

[NOW she can offer to trade info, since he'll be sticking around.]

[disilluded]

I would appreciate that. I will be doing what I can to find a possible method to undermine all of these "rules" we must follow; I will share what I find with you in return.

[They're so...businesslike...]

[toughchoices]

[let's get down to business, etc]

Thank you.

[Reyna smiles faintly.]

I should probably let you get some rest - it was definitely an... exciting, day. But if you need anything, you know where to find me.
