If it makes you feel better, I haven't either. The picture function though - can't say I mind that.
[If his camera roll is full of Assan - no it isn't.]
I'd say we should sit down and figure it out, but... [But while he knows perfectly well how tough Harding is, the thought of inflicting pain on her himself is not something he wants to dwell on.] But if anyone can make friends with the people on this thing, it's you.
We can exchange notes on what we learn, how about that?
[Not the same as being able to work on it together in person, but until they figure out how to deal with these brands effectively, it's probably best to keep at least a moderate distance— much as she hates to say it.]
But that's— real nice of you to say. I appreciate the vote of confidence. [A beat.] How many pictures of Assan have you taken so far?
Tie them to Assan's leg like a messenger bird, and everything.
[Actually, that's not a bad idea. No one put a brand on the griffon. He should be fine to run deliveries if he needs to. Especially since it's to Harding, who is the most trustworthy person here, as far as he's concerned.]
Just telling you what I think. Wouldn't lie to you-
[At least. She doesn't expect Davrin to admit it, though.]
... thanks, though. For all of this. I'm glad I checked in with you. IHopefully, if we get looking, we'll find some more useful information about this situation, but I don't intend to weather it quietly. I don't‐
[She sighs.]
I don't like being on opposite sides of anything, with friends. I've had enough of that.

[So there. He is not admitting it whatsoever.]
You got me, Harding. Doesn't matter what this place decides, which crew picked us up. We are on the same side. No matter what.
This is just a bump in the trail we're hunting.
I keep forgetting how cute this thread is and it's a delightful surprise every time
[That reminder coaxes a smile out of her, and she feels a bit more relaxed.]
It's good to know I have you at my back. You've got me at yours, too, whatever happens going forward.
i hate them they're adorable
[He'd clap her on the shoulder if they were talking in person.]
Whatever it takes. We got each other.
they are, it's unfair. tying a bow on this one! 🎀
[That's become something of a mantra for their gang, hasn't it? Even without their sworn cause here before them, the spirit still holds.
Back home, they're hunting gods— what's a little tension between armadas? They'll figure this out, easy.]
