I'm glad you like him. Some people think his company is a chore, but I couldn't disagree more. [a beat.] Not that I'll tell him so. The man needs a hit to the ego every so often.
Rodion and Gregor. I'm... glad that if there were any two people, I could pick, it would be them. We don't work for the same company, but... they're good people.
It's alright. I think it's a timeline issue. I didn't die yet, but in Gregor and presumably Rodya's, I did. The last thing I remembered was a monster attacking me and that could have been how I met my end in their perspectives.
We're from different companies and it's not guaranteed that I would be able to work with them. Moreover, my status as an outcast can't be erased, so the stigma will always follow me there. Rodya was the one who offered me to join their group. Even if it would be denied by the higher-ups, I really appreciated the sentiment back then.
[ Yuri seems fine with just talking about it for now, so she looks alright with it. ]
I was associated with a corporation that went under, since that was where I worked before. There's a very heavy stigma about that sort of thing in The City.

Temenos. Have you met him?

[ She looks pretty happy at the mention. ]
He's been nothing but nice to me so far. With him, I'm sure you wouldn't feel alone here.

[ And his ego?? Yuri looks confused. ]
Is he usually that bad?
no subject
Yes. But maybe not to you. That's a good thing.
no subject
You two seem close.
no subject
... We are. I consider him family.
no subject
I'm happy for you, Throne. To consider someone like family... I'm glad he's the one who came here with you so that you wouldn't be alone.
no subject
Thank you. [easy, and then:] You aren't alone here either.

Your world seems a little strange to me, but you all navigate it very well.
no subject
... It's hard, but we try.

there's a pause. throné puts down the piece she was holding, and raises an eyebrow.]
... Would you like me to pretend I didn't hear that? Or am I allowed to ask?
no subject
[ She was looking down at the board, genuinely confused about what Throne is asking. ]
no subject
I heard a little of your thoughts there.

Oh.
Ohhh. ]

[ ... ]
Did you want to ask?
no subject
I respect the desire to cheat. [genuinely, actually.]
I'm curious. But I won't ask if you're not interested in telling me. I know how to keep my nose out of other people's business.

no subject
... Interesting. I had thought it was just me and Temenos. [head tilt.] Is there a way to prevent that?
no subject
[ Like, yeah, shes talking about her possible death, but she seems pretty satisfied with it. ]
I've had many opportunities for various things ever since I woke up here.
