It's the flash grenade. We should just write "Plan B" on it.

[eonsadrift]

So our backup plan is to run away?

[jerkalope]

Spinel could have something else in mind. But I doubt it's a multi-step process.

[eonsadrift]

It isn’t the worst idea to have an out, I suppose.

[jerkalope]

That should be a standard idea! I know you're super powerful but not being able to escape is something left to prisons, taxes, and the Hotel California.

[eonsadrift]

Yeah, yeah. If I was on my own I’d say otherwise, but I see the wisdom in it.

[failsaver]

[ oh, it's Warden! hi Warden. waves ]

[jerkalope]

Yo~ Greenie! I see you've been recruited.

[failsaver]

You weren't kidding...

[ doesn't seem to mind being called Greenie, though ]

Yeah, Cygnus thought I should come.

[jerkalope]

Hooh, he conscripted you in his place, did he? The newbie hazing is real.

[failsaver]

[ unfortunately hazing means something completely different in his world ]

Huh? I touched the flower by myself.

[jerkalope]

Not the flower thing. The being sent into danger while he's back in the barn reading, I don't know, "Some Prefer Nettles"...

[failsaver]

Oh.

[ ... snorts ]

So he's that kind of guy.

[jerkalope]

Yeah, let's say if he wasn't a Clover he'd be on the wallflower flock.

[failsaver]

You really don't pull your punches, do you?

[jerkalope]

Why bother? My punches are as soft as my fur!

[failsaver]

[

Warden, may I pet you?

[jerkalope]

Alright, fine. But usually I reserve that for after the traumatic incident, not before. You're getting a two-fer!

[failsaver]

[ grins and starts petting. his hands are super calloused whoops ]

Man, you are fond of Clovers.

[jerkalope]

[ he's not used to it as long as the petting itself is comfortable, the ears are velvety! ]

It's not as if I have a ranking or anything.

[failsaver]

Who said anything about ranks? Fondness is just fondness.

[jerkalope]

Let me ask: are you an only child or someone who has a functionally happy relationship with your siblings?

[failsaver]

[ has to think about this for some reason ]

Mmm... the latter.

[jerkalope]

There are many for whom fondness isn't simply enough. There has to be a superlative attached. Either because of a perceived lack of resource or sunk cost fallacy, who knows maybe they just like to say it.

[failsaver]

Ehhh.

Your fondness is enough for me, Warden.

[ . . . ]

Well, fondness and your loyalty for the duration of this mission.
