[Hmm. He takes a drink of his tea, then puts the cup back down, eyes on Envy.]

Whose rules are you following?

[probe]

[they just sound confused, this time.]

What do you mean, whose? We all try to kind of agree on things-- well, I don't really care about the trials and I know Despair and Pride would probably rather not deal with them, but we can all sort of... you know, do our own jobs and it works fine.

[toyska]

[It's impossible to tell whether or not Childe believes that; his expression doesn't change from thoughtfully attentive.]

If that's the case, why is it you're "not allowed" to answer all of our questions?

[probe]

That depends on who you're asking. Half of them just don't want to. Personally, I like letting people learn things for themselves.

[toyska]

[He hums, tapping a finger lightly.]

Then, how do you recommend we best go about doing that?

[maybe beau was right and getting high is the answer (no)]

[probe]

Just do what you've been doing, probably! Asking questions isn't a bad start, for the ones we'll answer for you... but, uh, past that? No specific advice. Nothing you don't already know, anyway.

[toyska]

Mm. Well, I do appreciate the patience. [He likes Pride a lot but he won't deny that Pride is prickly.] I imagine you all are very busy.
