...Look. We're just trying to play it safe. [ Well, she is. ] When we've actually figured something out, you're probably going to be one of the first people to know the details.
[ MAYBE IF YOU TOLD HIM HIS SON WAS AFTER HIM... ]
I, ah, understand. I just... you'll tell me if... things get dire, yes? I don't want to be caught unaware -- moreso than I already have by...some things.
[ But what if telling him that makes him go to his son?? Layers. ]
I will. And if I don't...you've gotten to know the rest of the Pantheon a bit, right? You'll probably hear it somehow, if things aren't irreversibly screwed up.
[ Yep. That's what he would do. Go for his son... ]
Mm, I've...met some of them. I just... I feel as if I know you better. I...consider you a rather competent colleague, [ A bit of a pause, ] and a friend. I'd much rather hear it from you, when the time comes.
[ Friend?? Friend. That feels...strange. Both because Cass is not a person with more than, like, two close friends, and because she's tried to be so professional about this.
On the other hand: academic praise. She does like that part. ]
I...I'll try to make sure you hear it from me. I'd probably be the one to pick up the details we actually care for, anyway, compared to the rest of them.
