[The video feeds clicks on, showing a very concerned looking Signless. This is his concerned face, Vatheon. You can tell because he isn't smiling.]

Recently, my friend--who has always been my best friend and always will be, no matter what happens--stopped speaking. He's normally not the chattiest of souls, but this refusing to speak at all thing is new.

[He moves the camera a little, showing the Psiioniic, who is just floating there and looking preoccupied. When he realizes that the camera has been turned on him, his expression turns faintly agitated. A small swarm of bees buzz around him, with the occasional brave one landing on his body for a moment before flying happily away.]

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

[OOC: Responses can come from Signless, Psii, or both.]

[so whyever should he leave?]

[aim_exorable]

[All I know.]

[Needless to say, the answer doesn't come for some time.]

D --> It is none of your business or concern

[withoutasign]

[ . . . . ]

Of course not. My apologies.

I want to be your friend, Darkleer.

[aim_exorable]

D --> Don't

[There's a pause, and then a deep, heavy sigh.]

I'm not doing it to make you uncomfortable, or to try and force you into anything. That's not my way. It's the curse that's making me do it, but that doesn't mean it's not true.

I'm grateful to you.

D --> Don't
D --> Please
D --> I can't

[withoutasign]

I'm sorry! It just keeps happening!

filtered;

[aim_exorable]

D --> It 'keeps happening' even when the curse was not in effect
D --> I don't know why I keep contacting you
D --> I was more concerned in how the Psiioniic was

[Wait that's not what he meant to- ARGH.]

[withoutasign]

[Pause]

Are you the friend he's been going out to see?

filtered;

[aim_exorable]

D --> I would know nothing about any friends he is visiting

[Semantics! Because he's just doing this because Empire property should be kept in good condition. Just that. Nothing else. So he's definitely not a friend. Definitely.]

[[He's a pale suitor, clearly.]

[withoutasign]

[Your denial only leads Signless to believe he's right.]

I see. A shame, really... he's been wandering off the last couple of weeks on mysterious missions, and whoever he has been visiting has really helped his development, both physical and mental. Whoever he's meeting is doing him a great service.

[aim_exorable]

D --> Have you considered he's been visiting a doctor?

[He is going to LIE THROUGH HIS TEETH if he has to, darnit. Especially after all those horrible confessions!]

filtered;

[withoutasign]

I don't think a doctor would be able to help him all that much. An engineer, on the other hand...

filtered;

[aim_exorable]

D --> An individual with knowledge of the body would be able to advise on how to improve it from a malnourished state
D --> He or she would be able to do fine

filtered;

[withoutasign]

Oh, no doubt. And they've been doing well with that. Really, though, it's more that his mental state has been improving. He's showing more interest in things, interacting more with the world around him... those sorts of things.

I'm pretty sure it's you he's been seeing, but I'm not one hundred percent certain.

[aim_exorable]

D --> You have nothing but mere hunches for such thoughts
D --> What makes me such a prime suspect?

filtered;

[withoutasign]

You helped him with his biowiring when he first arrived, and I heard about how you chased your descendant away when he was getting a little too interested in Psii's goggles and helmsmen technology.

filtered;

[aim_exorable]

[Goshfuckingdarnit.]

D --> First of all
D --> None of you fools were making any progress
D --> Secondly
D --> I was simply making sure Equius wasn't going to break anything
D --> Helmsman technology can be very delicate.

filtered;

[withoutasign]

And yet you made him stop instead of explaining the proper way to examine the technology without breaking it.

filtered;

[aim_exorable]

D --> The Helmsman was having a negative reaction
D --> It would not have been conducive to research to continue
D --> And he's been through en
D --> No
D --> I should honestly just stop communicating with you
D --> You are a pest

filtered;

[withoutasign]

Is that a confession or just an opinion?

filtered;

[aim_exorable]

D --> It is none of your nosy business
D --> I should think

filtered;

[withoutasign]

Fair enough.

So anyway, it seems we've gotten off track. Can you make that sylladex, please?

filtered;

[aim_exorable]

D --> Leave me alone
