[ Message received, it sounds like. So now she turns to shooting the shit. ]

So short sighted. It'd make Greg happy to have his friend back, you know.

[dendarii]

I've never left. He's the one who needs to come back.

[ A pang of real pain in his voice at that. Dammit, Gregor, come home safely ... ]

[rathercommon]

All for America. Does your patriotism run that deep, Miles? To this idiotic country?

[dendarii]

They've at least got the right idea about freedom. And being rid of all the damn politics if you choose to be.

[rathercommon]

I wouldn't think you'd be afraid of politics. Taking up with a Vor lord and all.

[dendarii]

I like Greg because there's no politics. At least no more than what surrounds me.

[rathercommon]

It's really a pity.

[ And then a bit of truth. A bit of encouragement. Keep at it. ]

Greg adores you. Intensely.

[dendarii]

Does he? Even now?

[rathercommon]

Without faltering ever.

[dendarii]

Then I hope for his sake he's making the right decision.

[rathercommon]

[ Mockingly: ]

And what about me? You're not worried for me?

[dendarii]

Of course I'm worried for you.

[rathercommon]

Well, you don't show it!

[dendarii]

How would I do that exactly? And don't tell me to run off and join you, you know I can't.

[rathercommon]

Well, you could ask me how I'm doing.

[dendarii]

... How are you doing.

[rathercommon]

Oh I'm good. How are you, Miles?

[dendarii]

Delighted. All my friends keep running off without me.

[rathercommon]

You're friends with Kirk, aren't you? I'm sure he's with you. He just about punched my lights out during the seminar.

[dendarii]

Did you ask him to?

[rathercommon]

What? No. Why would I ask him to?

[dendarii]

Jim is just usually friendlier than that.

[rathercommon]

Apparently he doesn't like traitors. What we're betraying, of course, is the question...

[dendarii]

Yes, yes, all hail Russia and all that. Did he really take a swing at you for just that?

[rathercommon]

He was about to, I think. He didn't actually go for it.
