Two weeks.

[He pauses to think over how to word what he’d come to wonder and understand since he became a Paladin. Haggar had had plans for him. He knows that for certain. She’d said it. But he doesn’t know what those plans are. That makes him more than nervous. Another reason to prepare Keith to take over should something happen.

Keith would keep everyone safe if he learned to stop locking onto targets and seeing nothing else.] I don’t know what they planned. I think I escaped before they executed it.

But. My memories are in pieces. I don’t know.

[It trips anxiety until he squashes it.]

I have no idea what year it is here either. They are ridiculous about small details. As if they have to erase the future and the past.

[ the weight of those two words is heavier than she thought they would be. she knew they'd be in here for some time, could keep a relative idea of how long it's been from roy's updates, but the words themselves - two weeks, make her go quiet.

even through the explanation he gives her, the answer to her question. she does listen, realizing just how far his own experience goes, realizing where her own feelings get wrapped up and suddenly understanding that he has been carrying them since they first met. ]

Shiro. [ she doesn't even know what she wants to say here, but she feels like she needs to say something. ] You're doing a lot of good, whether that is because of or in spite of what happened to you doesn't really matter. Thank you.

[ and then she huffs. ]

You mean Qri?

The Shehui. I still have no idea where the Qri is. She might be somewhere inside the same facility you're in. If that's true you probably won't hear about it.

[Silence falls again. But this time its brief. He can't focus on just what might or might not become a problem from within his head. He fixates on that and he'll be done. Sendak's words sometimes ring and his mind tries to shut down. But it must never rule him. For everyone else's sake he has to keep moving forward.

Right now, getting Riza and everyone else out is his primary focus.]

I know I'm making a difference back home and here. And you are too. From the moment you arrived at the coven you sought to help and ensure others were safe. That means a lot. It's our turn to help and protect you.

Qri hasn't responded to any of our telepathic messages. But I guess it could be possible she's in here.

[ she has to keep her mind on something while she's here. it's one of the few things she can focus on that will keep her going.

it sneaks up on her, though. how much she needs to hear what he says. and as soon as the words are out there, she feels herself exhale, relaxing a little into it. ]

I should have seen this coming.

What? That they’d finally get fed up with our non-answers and decide to snatch up you and eleven others? We can be prepared for problems, but that’s not something we could really predict. Not without any clues. I’ll give it to the Shehui. They know how to hide their nastier side.

[But if she focuses on that she will think over what could have been done. He continues.]

If she is in there I can bet she’s under their highest security. Hard to think otherwise after that odd telepathy problem we had happen.
