[ oh, he wasn't expecting her to actually tell him anything - not like this, not right now, maybe not ever. It was meant as general advice. But he's not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. He just snorts. ]
... You're fast to share information, aren't you? You should be more careful with who you trust.
[ not that any of this is particularly sensitive, but. the old him would have absolutely capitalized on this opportunity. ]
That's not the kind of information I was hoping for. These are just mechanical details... I want to know what's actually going on. I want to know who they are and why they're playing at this "summer camp" nonsense.
That's going to be harder to get given the fact that they seem pretty out of the loop - but fine. I'll see what I can do if I'm going to harass them anyway.
[she doesn't mind multi-tasking?
anyway,]
Any information I share is because that's needed to protect innocent people, and I don't really care for secrets. This isn't trust, this is 'don't be stupid and end up getting others caught in your mess'.
But if anyone wants to think they can manipulate me, they're welcome to try.
[ he regards Lili for a few seconds, eyebrow raised as he processes everything she just said. Then, perhaps surprisingly, he snorts - not scornfully, but in a small laugh. ]

[ he's definitely never met a 17-year-old girl that acts as confident as she does... ]
I see why your profile said you have a warlord's spirit.

Did it...? [though she just huffs] I don't really care what people think about me....
I've gotten pretty tired of crying - so don't underestimate me!

[ a breath through his nose, amused. ]
I guess you have experience. [ a pause. ] They're probably not as clueless as they're acting. Not every world is like yours.

So... we'll have to uncover whatever those things are ourselves.
