Now that the unpleasantness is over with I think it's about time to get properly acquainted.

[He'll leave it unsaid that most of the kidnapped probably want to be alone as little as possible.]

Where I'm from we find bathing to be rather therapeutic. Warm water, a good scrub, and scented oils do wonder for the body and soul. To that end, I'm planning on waylaying the bath in the swimming area and inviting anyone who wishes to join me.

Oh yeah, you're definitely right about that.

[of_bokthersa]

I hear you've met my friend Alec.

[Is that him appraising you? That's him appraising you. Again.]

[11calls]

Yeah, I did. Is that bad?

[of_bokthersa]

I never said that. I'm just curious.

[11calls]

I like him. Is that okay?

[of_bokthersa]

Of course.

[He's not going to tell Alec who to be friends with.]

I suppose I'm more curious as to what he's said. Has he talked about his beloved toaster?

[11calls]

Not more than the first time on the post.

[of_bokthersa]

Then what do you talk about?

[11calls]

Just like stuff so far. I mean I was missing for three weeks. We didn’t have a lot of time to chitchat.

[of_bokthersa]

I see.

[11calls]

Why the interest?

[of_bokthersa]

Am I not permitted to be interested?

[11calls]

You just seem...

[A beat, and an audible frown.]

Did I do something?

[of_bokthersa]

Nothing I can think of. Is there something I should be aware of?

[11calls]

Not that I know of.

[Alex sounds puzzled, she can’t imagine why she’s getting this reaction.]

[of_bokthersa]

Then I can't think of a reason for my being interested that would be bad for you.

[11calls]

It's not your interest, [The puzzlement is still in Alex's voice, but coupled with an insistent tone.] It's that you're acting like I've done something and I have no idea what it is.

[of_bokthersa]

Perhaps you're only perceiving that. I've nothing against you in the least.

[11calls]

Okay then. I guess I'll see you at the baths.

[She doesn't sound at all convinced though.]
