Who: You
When: Day 214 into 215
Where: Iota's realm
What: Safety

[It takes a few minutes, trying to untangle his thoughts from the recent memory of three years, memories of betrayals, those poisonous feelings after Iota...]

Right. [Deep breath, let's it out slowly, straightens up.]

Sorry. I'm better now.

There is no need to apologize. Waking up in an unfamiliar place is unsettling. Especially for people who might have had poor experiences with such things in the past.

[She's a detective. She can see the signs of such things.]

[Surprised for a moment, but it's quickly hidden because, well, that was also a thing.]

...yeah. Who knew special ops had such big downsides. [At least he can still manage the deadpan. Go him.]

[He's getting up though, looking around.] Were you with Iota before this?

There are downsides to everythig, I believe.

[She nods, a worried look on her face.]

Yes. She said something about needing help.

Yeah, she said that to me too.

Then she drugged me which is....not a good sign. Either she's gotten a lot better at lying without me noticing... [Which he's afraid might be the case.]

Or there's something very wrong with her.

She should have stopped when I told her too. Or at least asked why I told her too.

If I was ever very good at telling when people are lying, I certainly don't have that shard now.

[Lapis sighs.]

Do you know her very well?

I'm usually fairly good at it.

Yes. I was the first wisp she interacted with and she found me fascinating. And a curious AI is a really persistent one.

[Looking all around his cell and there really isn't any obvious way out is there? Damn.]
