Ey clicked eir teeth in disapproval, tugging gently at the hair in eir talons. Not enough to be painful. "Must be a precious thing," Grilka said, "to lie to a Krotazi." Tongues darted to taste the air, but it didn't tell em anything ey didn't already know. Fear, and lots of it. "You don't trust me," ey said. "Have I not been friendly? Have I not been nice? I have been very careful not to hurt you, even though you would be so easy to hurt, Sascha Bennett." Eir tail was moving again, bringing Kreska closer in the process of drawing a wide circle around the conversation. Tendrils emerged to collect the bottle of rum rather than tip it over, transferring it between them in a hypnotic display that brought the bottle to one of eir hands. "Here," ey said, "this is yours, yes? Finish, if you like. Then, maybe, you can go outside – with the people who like that you are easy to hurt."
The screen lit up with text, and Grilka smiled. "You are already your merry way, I think," ey said – assuming, based on circumstances, that they could hear em. "It makes it very hard, when I would so much like to meet you."
Kreska, despite Fate's misapprehensions, could hear him loud and clear. She scowled at nothing; she'd been trying not to move, because sometimes if she stayed still enough for long enough Grilka would forget about her and lose eir grip. "Din' think ya'd wanna cut holes inna fortifications," she muttered, more concerned with being certain that Grilka wouldn't hear her than that Fate would. Ey watched the notifications appear on her watch, flashing briefly before disappearing, the messages he was sending to her tablet. She couldn't read them quickly enough, valuable and permission and merry and ceiling and burger. Something about top hats?
What a weird thing that would be to try to explain to Grilka.
Grilka looked briefly up at the ceiling. "I think that you must be very clever," Grilka said, "but you seem also very stupid." Ey looked back at Kreska, still sitting trapped on their tail. "Will you tell me what you know, Captain's Daughter?"
"No," she said immediately.
"Rude girl." Tongues darted between the two women in the room. "I will guess, then," ey decided, because it would be easy enough to gauge by their reactions when ey had struck true. "Must be organic, I think, or else you would like me much better. Kreska Ido… hm. Very surprising to be male, to be Human. Not unheard of, but very strange. More sense for a woman. Or maybe very femme. Supervisor, watchdog. Clever, hiding. Ideas, but not the followthrough." Ey returned attention to Sascha, petting her hair. "Maybe that is what these ones are for. Yes? Why she is here, pretending she does not know you are watching."
Then they brought the tablet closer to type out their next messages, talons swiping across the screen.
♕» I would never hurt her, of course.
♕» But she doesn't know that.
♕» She is very frightened.
♕» I don't know if you can tell, since you can't taste her like I can.
♕» She thinks she is in terrible danger, but she isn't asking for help.
♕» Is she very loyal, or does she think you can't?
♕» I can keep her safe for you, if you'd like.
♕» I am very good at keeping my friends safe.
