(Gives a small hum in consideration.)

Out of all the hunters, he does seem—

(His vision goes blank as a sudden red line of text appears: Terror Shock ♨️♨️♨️

Now all he can see a holo of stars above his head✨

He sends another ping: Forget about rescuing, go for the tie!)

tell me about yourself ❗️ what brings
you to the manor ❓

Kindly cease this leg shaking! You are rattling my thoughts! Be still and prepare for the match properly!

(Richard smiled back at the man’s… Bland compliment.

Was that all? A simple applaud and a “good job?” Where was the praise? The glory? How disappointing.)

Thank you, Mister Brand. I couldn’t have done it without your support. I think we make quite the pair… Don’t you?

(Typically the prospector would not waste time on decoding with someone else if he hadn’t just popped a cipher—but technically joint decoding could make the last one pop faster.
