Abducted for Safety

"Just a guy trying to survive." he offered. "And help his people in what little way he can."

"Thanks for the insight, captain obvious." She gently punched his shoulder.

 

[Reaper Six]

He smiled slightly and looked at her. "Well, what do you think?"

 

[DreamCatcher164]

"Suddenly, he's interested in what I have to say!" she smirks, teasing him by withholding her true thoughts.

Will chuckled, and nodded.

"I think I'll go to bed now." She stretched her arms and got up from her seat. "Maybe having some pressing questions in your head instead of wacko conspiracies, for once, will do you some good."

[DreamCatcher164]

"Hi! Pull up a chair!" She gets him a plate and serves up the food.

 

[Reaper Six]

William grabbed two plates and passed them over. "What do you want to drink?"
