_{( He pauses for a moment, and huffs. Perceptive listeners will be able to tell that he sounds exhausted, more so when he continues. )}

Yeah, I find that a little hard to swallow. More than this place, even. Has there been any verification, on that? Or am I just supposed to assume the nice people fishing me out of the ocean were telling the truth?

_{( Another pause, some muttering that isn't quite audible, though there may be a curse or two in there. Something about deserving this? Who knows. And then, just as unceremoniously as it began, the feed cuts. )}

[arches]

No, because you're annoying as hell and must have a lot of people after you.

[... ouch. that actually hurts more than he expected it would, and his expression hardens a little.]

Oh, like you aren't?

_{( sorry, b. )}

Never said I wasn't. That's not really the point.
