[ That, at least, gets him to stop struggling quite so wildly. ]

Allison?

[keep_nothing]

Yes, Allison, your armswoman. I didn't think you were that drunk yet.

[ She keeps trying to yoink it from him. ]

[dendarii]

Did I tell you her name? I don't think I told you her name.

[ Except he's definitely used it in front of them before. He puts his whole weight into grabbing for the comm this time - and promptly falls out of his chair and onto the floor. ]

[keep_nothing]

You introduced us.

[ —And down he goes. Her exasperation is briefly cut by that paranoid maternal instinct of hers with his fragile bones, but she manages it with a cool: ] You all right down there?

[dendarii]

[ He groans faintly, but it's all melodrama. There'd been no telltale crack of bone or stab of pain. Perfectly unharmed. ]

You're breaking my heart now.

[keep_nothing]

That's your own doing, love.

[dendarii]

I wouldn't be doing it if you'd just tell me. Give me back my comm.

[keep_nothing]

As I've been saying, there's nothing to tell.

[dendarii]

Yes there is. I can sense it. And I'll ask Gregor if I have to, just watch me.

[keep_nothing]

Why would Gregor know any better than your own mother about your mother's sex life?

[dendarii]

Wouldn't. But you're not telling me ...

[ He sprawls on the floor, not making any move to get back up. ]

[keep_nothing]

No, you're just not listening.

[ She's not moving to pick him up either. He can have his pity party right where he is. ]

[dendarii]

[ He's going to do just that. And continue texting via the mental connection, at least until Cordelia thinks to turn the comm off. ]

Would if you'd tell me the truth.

[keep_nothing]

You think I'm lying?

[dendarii]

Yes, I do.

[ He pauses, in fact, as that last message comes back from Tex ... ]

One of you?

[keep_nothing]

[ She blinks, missing have of he conversation here. ]

... What?

[dendarii]

She says she's fucking one of you.

[keep_nothing]

[ She frowns, looking at his comm in her hand. ] How—?

[ Then she snorts, trying to hide the laugh at what she sees on the screen. ] That's under your father's number!

[dendarii]

Yes, she's with him now. Apparently.

[keep_nothing]

Yes, they're out on a hiking trip. Allison said at some point that she'd enjoy it so Aral offered to go with her.

[ It's close enough anyway. ]

[dendarii]

With sex up in the woods at some point ...

[ He rolls onto one side, turning away from her. ]

[keep_nothing]

Miles.

[dendarii]

Tell me I'm wrong.

[keep_nothing]

They're up there hiking.

[dendarii]

With sleeping bags?
