@SweetCreepz@_val_lentine Is that so.
[Intrigue. To think that the Captain’s life depended on the life of this one, hardly competent agent.]
I understand your concern, then.
But don’t worry. I can most certainly keep Väl close.
@SweetCreepz@_val_lentine [Ozias stares. They won’t have to worry about finding another chew toy. Lucky them! Your Day Will Come.]
