[She will not entertain the thought that there were no survivors.]

You witnessed the conditions that they were working under. They are stronger than you give them credit for.

[There is a moment of tense silence following. Truthfully, she had wondered if it was wise to allow so many Displaced along for the ride — and now, perhaps this was a consequence of that.

But she would go back for them, before too long. She did not leave her people behind.]

You always have a choice, William. It is not a matter of can or cannot. It is whether or not you will stand down.

[slavophile]

You're right.

( Hopefully, there are survivors. And hopefully, they see the merits of releasing - with their names and findings attached. )

They'll see what I see. ( He spoke to them, he saw their conditions. He heard from them firsthand. )

[dragonwarder]

Let us hope so.

[But truthfully, she doubts, just as she doubts that William will take her words to heart. Not because he was a particularly nefarious individual, but because she trusted little and left even less up to chance.

She reaches to adjust one of her gloves, pulling it so that it smoothes down the receding scales beneath them.]

I will reach out to them once I return home. I do not know if they will receive my messages in a timely manner, but I plan to return for them regardless.

There might not be anything to return to.

( He doesn't say the word, anyone. )

Be in touch, okay?

( He's reachable if she needs anything. He liked Dany, a lot in Antarctica. She's intense and regal. Overly serious. She's warned him. Whether he heeds her warning or not. That will remain to be seen. )
