It's probably dumber. Max wants to know if you can still bring us back if we die outside your realms. I figure you're not letting us go that easily, and you wouldn't send Skulduggery if that was the case, but he wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth.
I figured he would pick the two of you.
[pause] In short, yes, I can still do that.

You're being pointed about it right now.
[Or perhaps he's touched a nerve. Murderbot has nerves, in some parts of its body.]

Mmhm. As long as you're dealing with Skulduggery, you're going to have to be dealing with me. But good to know.
[ Rolls over onto her back, since this is evidently not a conversation that requires looking at each other- which is, honestly, kind of nice. ]
Thanks for taking care of him, by the way.

... What did he tell you.
[he asks, super casually and not at all anxiously.]

[ :3c ]
Wouldn't you like to know, boat boy?
Wouldn't you like to know, boat boy?
Whatever it was, he's lying. [there that should basically cover it right.]
"But maybe if I..." she lowers her head. It's such a stupid thought, if she just lingers around where he is, somehow. Somehow she can find a way to pull him back.
Doing nothing feels too much like giving up.
"There's no way to bring somebody back?"

Come on, that's lazy for you.
[ Rests her hands on her stomach and drums with her fingertips, idly. ]
You can relax. It really wasn't anything interesting. He came back, you talked, you told him about the mission, he left. Which- if you don't know what the thing is, how do you know you need it?

Vibes.
[beat]
And that's all he said?
[beat]
And that's all he said?
What'll you give me if I tell you exactly?
I have... an eraser shaped like a small hedgehog.
[ Fuck, that's good. ]
Deal.
Literally just exactly that, what the inside of the bridge looked like, the fact you had 'media' sitting around, and the erder flow thingie. Like I said, not very interesting.

Erda...
[but he doesn't even sound smug, or even eager to point out someone being wrong, like he usually is. he just trails off...]

That's what I said, Erder.
[ Sounds the same to her. ]
Why? Is there something he should've told me?
[ Sounds the same to her. ]
Why? Is there something he should've told me?
Oh- and he told me about you wanting the cool knife. Said you seemed kind of hurt by it. And I guess... he talked about you? What you're like when you're not doing the megalomaniac 'bleh bleh I'm the bad guy' bit.
[ Shrug. ]
That was all off the record, 's why I didn't think of it.

That's--
[FRUSTRATED NOISE]
Why did you think I was interested in anything on the record?!
[FRUSTRATED NOISE]

You asked what he told me!
[ WOW, SUCKS WHEN SOMEONE TAKES YOUR QUESTIONS LITERALLY, DOESN'T IT?! ]
[ WOW, SUCKS WHEN SOMEONE TAKES YOUR QUESTIONS LITERALLY, DOESN'T IT?! ]
[archly] And you left out a great deal of information. Like someone who isn't interested in a hedgehog eraser.
I told you when I remembered it, didn't I? What's the big deal anyway? You don't just sit in the bridge twiddling your moustache and rubbing your hands together evil-y all day, big whoop. It's not like any of it was actually useful.
[ Huffs. ]
He said he thought you were kind of funny. And quiet. That you're bad at dealing with people if they're not picking a fight with you. None of that is like, revealing your secret evil plans or anything. That could describe like, half the people on the ship.
