Kaiden let out a rumble, [say]"I'll think about it."[/say] Their eyes sharpened and they gave a firm nod, [say]"Like hell we'd ever be friends. You've got that part right."[/say] But could the man beside him be useful? Would teaming up with Darkeye for a task actually be in their best interest? The mershark wasn't so sure just yet.
As Darkeye gave his views, Kaiden couldn't stop the bark of humorless laughter that escaped them. [say]"Not all games are fun or even chosen. Nor can they all be played a second time. When I say 'game' I don't mean some flippant thing. I mean it's...."[/say] The mershark paused, trying to find the words. [say]"It's just the most important thing. The overarching...task?"[/say] They threw their hands up in exasperation, [say]"I don't know how to explain it. You get it or you don't."[/say]
It was both unsurprising but still unsettling to hear Darkeye talk about Trinket. [say]"She thinks in games."[/say] Kaiden repeated before adding, [say]"That's not something I can or have the motivation to fix. But no, she doesn't understand things yet."[/say]
The mention of Trinket asking Darkeey to kill them should have been concerning. Instead, it was amusing and Kaiden snickered, [say]"No. She doesn't want you to kill me. Then it would be your win, not hers."[/say] Trinket liked to win. IF she wanted the mershark dead, she'd do it herself. At least, they thought so.
