What do I think? I think I have no idea what that is.
And that it can't possibly be good. There's no reason to hide anything with an ordinary function from those in charge of setting up the parade in the first place. Do you have any idea what it could be?
Me neither. The Alliance has had us overseeing preparations down there, but our instructions were not to pry into what the Kappa were doing. If we did, we were ejected with great force. Not the most promising start to the parade.
Be on your toes. If I had to guess when whatever will happen, happen, it will be by the end of the night, when the parade is in full force.
That's what I've been hearing. They must not not trust us, or... maybe they were working in their own interest.
[ It's hard to explain... but Kim really does have a way of making one feel like they have to listen to him. ]
Got it. I'll be on the lookout. I'll make sure to hit you up sometime in the day. Might as well keep in touch.
Think you can let me know if Harry's okay, too? I'm kind of worried about the guy. He doesn't seem bad or anything, but... you know, I think you already why I'm worried.
Maybe. If we were to give them the benefit of the doubt, it's worth noting that there's no reason for them to trust us. We only just arrived, and even being nebulously part of the Alliance is no insurance of our loyalty.
[ They would be correct not to assume it. Kim feels no loyalty to the Alliance. Only to those beside him. ]
But we ought to stay in touch, yes. Let me know if you notice anything suspicious.
[ And then there's the matter of Harry, who she's evidently met. He pauses to consider what she could possibly be referring to. Is it the talking to inanimate objects? His inexplicable tendency to link everything he sees to communism or to feminism? His readily apparent struggle with addiction and mental health? The sudden, unpredictable shifts in mood for reasons beyond any bystander's comprehension?
He still stands by his more complimentary description of the detective. It just so happens there's a lot more to it than that. ]
So you've met him. I could guess, yes. But I'd prefer to know. What specifically caught your eye?
Hadn't thought of it like that... you've got a point.
[ Something tells her that he's used to this, the distrust. Imagining it from his seat, she pictures a world distrusting of the government and... yeah, no, of course he is. Detectives get work done. ]
Aye, aye, cap'n! As for Harry, well, let's say I think he had a meeting with a white rabbit. He's like that all the time? Hmm... guess that's just how he is!

I see. Thank you for letting me know. You have my word that I'll keep an eye out for him.
[ Will he say anything? Probably not. But his palpable disappointment will do all the talking for him. ]
