We've survived this long, so that's a start. It's more than we've managed to do the last however many cycles. [it helps. it's also interesting to see ange be this pragmatic, but...regardless of whoever she is and whatever she may think, he's curious to know.]
So what do you think the next step is? How do we go forward from here?
Considering I know your entire team, it's sort of a concern. And what should it matter if we're not on the same one? There's only half of us left that maybe teams don't even matter so much anymore.
...but I'm glad to hear that. I don't think anybody should be working alone now even if they could.
...[he meant dorothy, and it seems like he's debating if he wants to tell her something else, but...well, never mind.]
I know what my priorities are, don't worry. [but he looks down to the ground again from their place on the roof.] Guess we'll find out more tomorrow. We can go from there.
...making sure all of our numbers were met for one thing. Knowing what teams to protect and what teams needed extra help. And being someone that can help keep people going. Among other things.
As somebody who's met a few extraterrestrial beings and people without hearts? I don't know if I believe that. But if you say so. [he does not believe it in the slightest.]

Correct. It is now time to focus on the future and what must be done from here.
If we intend on bringing the others back, we must survive first and foremost.
no subject
So what do you think the next step is? How do we go forward from here?
no subject
Assess the situation, gather information, and act. Those are the steps we must take, whatever may come.
no subject
Have you spoken to your teammates yet about any new information you guys might've gotten? Or are you acting alone?
no subject
[...still.]
But I do not intend on working wholly alone, not while the option to cooperate is on the table.
[If it, like, still is. She's not sure anymore, it's fine.]
no subject
...but I'm glad to hear that. I don't think anybody should be working alone now even if they could.
no subject
I do not think they matter any longer. Presumably, all of the necessary killing has been done, and now there are only those who remain.
My goals are still in line with everyone else's, presumably.
no subject
What are your goals now, Ange?
no subject
[PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD, HONESTLY.]
no subject
She'll be back sooner than you know it.
no subject
... I do not know who you are talking about, or what you are trying to say.
Regardless, for now the main thing you should focus on is yourself, and what is sure to come soon enough.
no subject
I know what my priorities are, don't worry. [but he looks down to the ground again from their place on the roof.] Guess we'll find out more tomorrow. We can go from there.
no subject
Today, and yesterday, and this week... they've all simply solidified things Ange has always already known.]
Yes, that sounds sensible enough.
[...]
When the time comes, do not hesitate to do what you think you must do.
no subject
[...and yet...well. there's always time to digest that later.]
Planning to stay up here much longer?
no subject
And then:]
Yes.
This is my new room. It was assigned to me five minutes ago.
[........... obviously uh. that's a lie.]
no subject
Well. You've got a great view. I'm almost jealous.
[the most unfortunate part is that even with her real personality coming into play he's not that bothered.]
no subject
It is all right. I've seen worse views.
[...]
I have a question for you.
no subject
What sort of question?
no subject
no subject
...making sure all of our numbers were met for one thing. Knowing what teams to protect and what teams needed extra help. And being someone that can help keep people going. Among other things.
no subject
That is all I wanted to know.
[She shifts her gaze back to the sky again.
Useless, Ange!!]
no subject
You had a reason for asking, didn't you? What did you expect? [was she searching for a specific answer? he wonders.]
no subject
Before finally:]
Because I am only an extraterrestrial visiting in passing, there are a lot of things humans do and feel that I do not understand.
... This situation has only confirmed that for me.
no subject
As somebody who's met a few extraterrestrial beings and people without hearts? I don't know if I believe that. But if you say so. [he does not believe it in the slightest.]
no subject
i'm crying
it's not untrue]... I suppose they were not from the Black Lizard planet. I cannot speak to the feelings of other extraterrestrials. I have not met them.
