[prevented]

Well, can you take me with you?

[Nothing ventured, nothing gained. It doesn't hurt to ask. She'll have a better chance escaping search parties if she's travelling by sea.]

[argents]

[ Banagher weighs his options. Which admittedly, are few. His voice drops. ]

What are you trying to escape from that's worth putting yourself in danger?

[prevented]

Do you not watch the news or something?

[Seriously 8|]

[argents]

[ Girl he's clueless, you're homefree. ]

Um, well. I haven't been to Earth in a long time, and media is restricted in a lot of ways in the colonies, so...

[ Not that he really knew how much of a blackout there actually was, but since ping-ponging between ships, his access to much of anything has been cut off. ]

Are you famous or something?

[prevented]

I suppose you could say that.

[His loss is her gain then.]

Look, you owe me a favor now, don't you?

[argents]

[ Whyyy, child. Why do you give him such intense Audrey vibes, sob. Banagher pauses, though it's not because he necessarily disagrees. ]

Come on. We should take care of your injuries first. They must hurt, right?

[prevented]

Yes and you did it. So you owe me a favor, right? Tell me.

[argents]

Mm.

[ Yeah that's as much confirmation as you're getting out of him. :| But it's pretty much as good as a yes, so he's going to start walking regardless. ]

[prevented]

Hey! Wait up!

[short stubby pug legs, ok?]

Are we going to your ship now?

[argents]

[ ...He can't really stay very stern for long. He's bad at this. Slowing his pace, he looks back at her. ]

That's all you want?

[prevented]

What else? I don't want to be here anymore.

[argents]

[ Pursing his lips, he doesn't exactly say no to this arrangement. ]

Even if you were to come with me, I can't exactly say that it's safe. Where I'm going.

[prevented]

But it's not like being kept in a cage, is it?

[argents]

That depends.

[ A cage takes many forms. ]

Is that what you escaped from? A cage?

[prevented]

Do you see me as an animal?

[Danger. Danger. This is a trick question.]

[argents]

No. [ Duh he fails at all things subtle. ] That'd be a terrible thing to think of someone as.

[prevented]

There are some who think that of me. That's why I had to be hidden away.
