Office Hours - We Could Be

[Faith's door remains closed, the brass "PRIVATE" plaque silent and unyielding. Trying to force the door yields no results, but- she said you could contact her here, so just go ahead and knock. Worst case scenario, you're no worse off than before, right?]

I will not be. You all have lives you wish to return to, after all.

[She watches him carefully.]

May I ask what you will do if escape proves impossible?

[qilinzuo]

[ So no shocking declarations of 'you shall never pass'? He fixes her a sharp smile when she asks, regardless. ]

"Impossible"?

You're dealing with someone who won't accept that sort of thing. Nothing is impossible.

[ Of course, Childe says this now. He acts like he won't feel stressed about it at some point. ]

You really have faith that the god of yours is going to successfully block off any attempt at escape routes, don't you?

[shieldof]

I am prepared for the likelihood that returning- sooner than they wish will be very difficult.

[qilinzuo]

That's a lot more charitable than how I thought you might say it.

[ He then just sort of relaxes his shoulders, removing himself from the wall, expression thoughtful. ]

But, despite what I said...even I don't think it's going to be easy. Though, I think it's far more interesting for it to be a challenge than not.

[ He turns his back to her. He doesn't know this woman very well, but she does kinda of remind him of Xinyan. More reserved by far; still there's some elements of the personality in slivers. Whether that stays that way, he doesn't know. Things are still unclear and muddy from where he sees it...and he thinks if he wants to uncover the dangerous threads of this situation, it'll be in his interest to keep poking. ]

I think I'll take my leave for now, since I can't think of nothing else to bother you with. Though, I'll be back again. Until then, see you around.
