Oh my god, no. But he was like that as an inmate, too. And in real life. He doesn't ever stay still. Or if it he, it's because he's' got a million things going on in his crazy train brain.
Honestly, he's exhausting sometimes. Feel free to tell him to buzz off sometimes. I think you probably could get away with that.
I could also ask him to teach me more instruments when I want to stop
talking. [That strategy should last awhile, on both their parts.
She has her priorities, and music is almost always a good reprieve.]
He said that when he read my file, he was fighting the urge to ask for your
help destroying a castle underwater. I wouldn't want that; I'll
take my own revenge. But he seemed as sincere as anyone ever does.
[If Ulla doesn't wholly believe Kepler wants to help her, it's
because she doesn't believe in anyone. It isn't personal.]
Yeah, humans are always going to be suspicious of shit they don't understand or can't classify. But...hey. If we go to your world, we'll fuck shit up. You lead, I'll follow.

[Ulla just looks doubtful at the idea of time being enough to overcome all her distrust.]
I assumed he would. Otherwise what is he doing as my warden? He doesn't seem like the sort to sit idle.

Funk is a musical genre? [She's never heard the word before.]
I'm not surprised he played in a band.

I'd gathered that. And you would certainly know.

And hey. If there's anything I can do, even if it's just to try and get you a little peace and quiet for a while?
I will.

Thank you.

Okay, wait. Let me amend that. If you want my help destroying a castle underwater, I would absolutely help you.
Or if you just want to destroy anything underwater.
I'm so game.
no subject
I'll bear the offer in mind.
Can you even breathe underwater? [No, there's no technology that lets humans do that in her world.]
no subject
[Wait.]
We can carry air in small tanks underwater.
no subject
That's useful. Humans haven't come up with that idea in my world.
Some are so suspicious of magic, though, that it's for the best they can't get at anyone who lives under the waves.

The trait isn't confined to humans, unfortunately. Sildroher can be every bit as judgmental.
[It isn't the phrasing she would have used, but...] Shit could use fucking up.

Hell yeah.
