[She shrugs.]

I don't know you as well, and they keep mentioning how important it is to get to know everyone... I thought this was as good a chance as any.

[autocatalysis]

Fair enough.

Well, since that's what we're doing-- have any other questions for me while we're here?

[foodbin]

[She pauses to think about it.]

You didn't notice anything physically? It didn't hurt, or anything like that?

[autocatalysis]

Not as far as I could tell, no? It wasn't all that dramatic. I know it looks like it, but.

[ all that swirling darkness and stuff, right.

he shakes his head. ]

If you were looking for symptoms like, I don't know, chest pain, or something like that, I don't know what to tell you. Unfortunately.

[foodbin]

...I figured that would be too easy, anyways. Thanks for letting me know.

[autocatalysis]

[ he scoffs, a little softly. ]

If only it were, right? Sorry.

[foodbin]

No, you don't have anything to be sorry about. I think what you told me should help.

[...]

Hopefully it didn't feel like I was grilling you.

[autocatalysis]

[ he blinks, a little nonplussed. ]

I offered, didn't I? Why should I be mad at you for taking me up on it?

[foodbin]

[She shrugs.]

It could've still been uncomfortable once we started. But, I'm glad if it wasn't.

[autocatalysis]

If that was supposed to be an interrogation, it's probably one of the nicest interrogations I've ever seen.

[ It's very faintly amused. Teenage understatement and wryness at its best. ]

So you're fine, really. It's in the best interests of all of us to try to figure this stuff out, isn't it?

[foodbin]

[She nods.]

Yeah, it is. So if you find out anything else that might be important...

[She trails off, but her meaning is clear enough.]
