trusting you isn't the same as trusting him

Well, trust that I would never let anything happen to you

you can't control the quarry no matter how much i trust you rooker

I do wish you'd stop calling me that

[ He says not actually wishing it at all.

But it's better than saying that she's right; he can't control the Quarry, no matter how much he wants to. ]

you might get your wish soon enough

If Kai is your ally will you let him help you for as long as you need?

why do you trust him so much?

Because I have to Nile

Because you are in the Quarry and I have no other way to help you

i don't want it to backfire on me

he doesn't seem like the kinda guy who wants to lose

I would be a fool if I said that thought didn't cross my mind as well

But you're smart

so why is he gonna listen to you?

i need a reason sébastien, besides me being smart, besides a mystery arrangement i don't know anything about

Does a 'bro code' count as an answer?

I have known him for much of his life and he has known me for much of mine

Before I was a Rook, before I was anyone

being a rook doesn't automatically make anyone a better person

the fact that you HAVE known him that long matters more

does he still have your back now? and vise versa?

[ Oof, hitting him with the complicated questions. But Sébastien aims to reassure her, even if he is only 98% sure of his answer.

Kai has been unpredictable in the past, but in some things ... well, in some things he does believe he can trust him. ]

Yes and yes

[ BRO.... IS THAT IT?? THAT'S ALL YOU GOT???? ]

you really know how to persuade me

[ SADLY IT IS ALL HE'S GOT ]

Well I could have been more vague which would lack the kind of confidence you're probably looking for in an answer

what did you say to him?

I mentioned you, asked if he would look out for you in the arena

He agreed

[ That was what was said. Everything else is tied up in their history of knowing each other, and Kai's particular personality. Which, to be fair, isn't really for everyone. ]

you're still giving me absolute shit to run with here

but i'll see how it goes

i guess

I know it's not the explanation you want but it's hard to elaborate on

Thank you

my life is literally on the line.

why wouldn't i want an explanation

Trying to explain my history with Kai might take a little more than a text conversation

But if you have a specific question I can answer

i wouldn't even know specifics. i don't know anything about the guy except what's been televised.

I can tell you about him

And how I know him

Are you free later?

[ That, and he would like to see her. ]

a little bit more might help

i can pencil you in

[ she is teasing to #cope, but nile would like to see him too. ]
