[Arthur frowns, shaking his head a little.] A lot of them are clearly not real. But I'm not sure if they're projections, or... something else. [And he couldn't tell her what that something else might be, either. He has no idea.]

[build]

You don't think they're like Mal do you? [ because mal was something all her own and the idea of more like her around here almost terrified her. ]

[aloadeddie]

No one's shot me in the kneecap yet, so I doubt it. [He says that drily, absently, almost to himself.] They'd have to... belong to someone, to be projections. I'm not sure who they would belong to.

[build]

[ his remark does get a brief look of curiosity to appear on her face, as she cant help but wonder how mal was with him as well, but it's quickly brushed aside for a later conversation as she really more is just wanting to focus on what she needs to do with this situation they were in. ] you don't think there might be someone in here with us they all belong too -- the emperor maybe?

[aloadeddie]

Would this emperor dream up costumed heroes with magical powers? [Arthur looks at her askance.] I'm not used to this. I'm used to knowing my mark well in advance. I'm used to knowing my team, knowing their subconscious. I've never seen projections like these, ever.

[build]

I don't know, Arthur. [ her expression more uncertain than anything as she looked up at him, just wishing she had something more she could offer here than she did. ]

I guess together we just learn as we go.

[aloadeddie]

[He finds himself reaching - to do what? Maybe touch her hand, or brush a lock of hair away from her face - but he stops himself, shoves his hands in his pockets, and nods.] I think we should just keep our heads down, and our eyes open for now.

[build]

[ she just nods in agreement, letting a ghost of a smile appear on her lips. ] Whatever it takes...

[ and she means it. she'll play whatever roll she has to here, if there’s even a remote chance that it will get them back home. ]

Just be careful, okay? [ and it's said with a small shrug of her shoulders as she moves over towards the window, watching outside with interest. she knows he will, and that she it really didn't need to be said. but right in that moment, it seemed like something she should do (he needs to know someone is looking out for him after all) ]

[aloadeddie]

[That gets a faint smile from him.] You think a little rumbling is going to throw me off?

Just let me know if you need anything, okay?

[build]

[ she just rolls her eyes in a faint amusement, shaking her head. she knows she doesn't even need to answer that (of course it wont) ]

You'll be the first person I call.

[aloadeddie]

I'd be offended otherwise. [His smile widens for a moment at that.]

[build]

[ again, she just rolled her eyes, letting her smile grow faintly as she nodded towards the door. ] Go see what you can find out now. I'll be back at my house battening down the hatches.

[aloadeddie]

Good idea. Make sure your breakables won't break. Stuff like that. [Hands still firmly in his pockets, he follows her out.] Time to play detective again.

[build]

[ she just nods in agreement, turning to look back at him, offering him a fond smile as she did. ] I’ll find you later tonight. Be careful. [ and yes, she rolls her eyes as she says that, smiling. Knowing again, it didn't need to be said, but she was going to say it anyway and he was just going to have to get use to it.

And with that, she was shrugging her shoulders with a sigh and slipping back off into the crowd, heading back for her place too later (hopefully) meet up with him again. ]
