I don't really have to tell him much about anything, because he doesn't like listening to me talk! He's usually not paying much attention to anybody, but this is the only place you can be really sure...
[the fact that he hesitates for as long has he does probably answers her question, but after a long moment...]
...Yes. I mean -- not really. Not exactly. There was a movie, and a game, and [shut up don't want to talk about it] I think I may have... embarrassed him? Or upset him? I couldn't tell. [SHRUG] He turned into a shadow and hid under the couch. I have no idea what that means.
[immediately trying to defend himself like he's about to get scolded]
I didn't do anything. It wasn't like I was being mean to him. I was [f l i r t i n g] playing nice with our mad captor, and that was... fine, until it wasn't. He didn't have trouble with it the previous night, so how was I supposed to know!
[weird thing to get a rush from, best not to think about that internal emotional reaction for the foreseeable future!!]
...All the more reason to tread carefully. Which, if it isn't clear already, is easier said than done where I'm involved. [so if you've got any advice on that front, mombot...]
[welp. he's gonna give that a minute, just see if anything happens. he uses the time to try and compose a text to Ava in his head, because if he's going to tell anybody about this, it's going to be her.
this is DEFINITELY NOT hardy boys material that's for sure]

How much of this conversation is going to make its way back to the Captain, by the way? Palamedes implied there was some modicum of privacy here.
[he doesn't mind if their conversation this far makes it back to the Captain, but.....]
