How did you end up all the way here if you can't use the Porter?

[ He starts after her with a shake of his head. ]

You won't register either?

[whathawksdo]

[ She asked nicely the first time, too!

Anyway, she shrugs. ]

Not right now, no.

[corviform]

Can I ask why?

[whathawksdo]

I don't know, can you?

[ Okay, seriously though, she isn't really hiding her reasons, so a beat after that she does answer. ]

I think I'm allowed to be picky about what governments I pledge my loyalty to. I don't exactly get on with most of them back home, here isn't likely to be all that different.

[corviform]

[ He stops in his tracks, suddenly wary.

If she doesn't get along with the government... ]

... you're not some sort of criminal, are you?

[whathawksdo]

[ Right. Add that to the list of things not to say.

When he stops, she eventually does the same after a few more steps, turning back to quirk an eyebrow at him. ]

Well, you tell me. Have I done anything very criminal-like in the past hour?

[corviform]

Don't answer a question with a question.

[whathawksdo]

Now, now, isn't it rude not to answer a lady's question?

[ IGNORING THAT SHE NEVER ANSWERED HIS QUESTION. ]

[corviform]

[ She had to pull the lady card.

He opens his mouth to argue and closes it a second later. Then: ]

... I guess not.

[whathawksdo]

There. Question answered.

[ Only not at all. Regardless, it's time to start walking again. ]

Right, so the military base...

[corviform]

You can't port back if you're not Registered.

[ Is he going to have to pay for a ticket for her to get back wherever she's from? ]

[whathawksdo]

Of course I can, just so long as I have permission to. How else do you think I got here? All I had to say was I wanted to explore the other cities before making a decision.

[ A decision she's already made against what the government would have preferred, but that don't need to know that. ]

[corviform]

Really?

[ Gil's surprised to hear it, but he's not about to argue about it. ]

... wait, you ported into a city you had no idea about and still wandered away anyway?
