Is this sort of thing really normal... [He trails off, though, and shakes his head.] You know what, never mind. It seems like the more I ask that, the more likely it is that the answer is yes, so I guess I shouldn't bother.

[He pauses before continuing.] Uh... Ariadne. If you see this, do you think we could talk again? Thanks.

(OOC: open to fourth-wall shenanigans, have at him!)

I don't really know... Maybe it's because they protect the Little Sisters—uh... Little girls.

They call them "daddy," anyway.

[boutant]

They protect little girls?

[ She knows what the little girls need protecting from, but why were those things going after them in the first place? ]

[wouldnotkindly]

Yeah... They're called "Little Sisters," but that's basically it.

[He sounds reluctant to say anything more.]

[boutant]

Why would they need protecting if they're just little girls?

[ Too bad. ]

[wouldnotkindly]

[He hesitates for some time.]

I don't know if you'd want to know the answer to that.

[boutant]

Why's that?

[ CURIOUS FOREVER. ]

[wouldnotkindly]

It's...gruesome.

[Yeah, he's clammed up again.]

[boutant]

[ Damn. Well, probably best not to push too much anyway. ]

All right.
