I haven't experienced as much as you all have, only because I'm scratching the surface. I can only learn from those with experience.

[hallowedly]

In other words, you're an observer.

[roedeer]

[ he's not wrong. ]

I was told to believe in the advice of the people who have come before me. I thought that those words might be useful here, is all.

[hallowedly]

You're certainly an obedient person.

[roedeer]

[ well, that's a useful perception, let's go with that. ]

Hearing the advice of others helps figure out which is helpful, so in that respect, I make time to listen.

[hallowedly]

And to ask questions. You like those, don't you?

[roedeer]

Knowledge is power. You can tell me about the things you like.

[hallowedly]

Nowadays? A gentle entremet. Of course, if it's something like chocolate, I wouldn't refuse you.

[roedeer]

I want to say if I found any chocolate, I'd keep you in mind. But I have doubts any of them would be fresh.

[ and he doubts this person would want something stale... unless he doesn't care about that. ]

[hallowedly]

You're not a giving person.

[roedeer]

?

[hallowedly]

You're looking to survive, aren't you? Survivors aren't generous. They're competitive.

[roedeer]

I am looking to survive, yes, as well as ensure those trapped here do as well. I apologize for the impression that you have of me.

[hallowedly]

Nonsense. Survivors are admirable creatures.

So long as you never offer me a drink again, I'm sure we'll be the best of friends.

[roedeer]

I'll keep that in mind.

When it comes to connections here, may I have your opinion on the system in place... How close do you tend to be with someone before a tether forms?

[hallowedly]

...how close until they accept it, or until you do?

[roedeer]

I'd like to hear both from your perspective of dealing with it.

[hallowedly]

Isn't this like asking a pretty woman about getting kissed against her will?

[roedeer]

Are you the aggressor or the woman?

[hallowedly]

I'm certainly maidenly.

After all, this entire tether business is an effective violation.

[roedeer]

[ alright, woman. ]

Oh, excuse me, ma'am. I was speaking in a general sense, I don't intend to impose on you that way.

[hallowedly]

No. It's only an opinion. You've asked when I might willingly initiate this. Truthfully, I would never choose it of my own volition. Call it a personal revulsion.

[roedeer]

You really are the maiden you claim to be, I wouldn't have thought you were in that many one-sided tethers. Does it ever get easier?

[hallowedly]

It's the principle of things, isn't it? I take it you're easier?

[roedeer]

I wouldn't call it easier. I'm not interested in the concept, but others view it highly.
