JAIL
Who: The Psiioniic and Foster
When: Day 90
Where: Cave Jail
What: /HUGE SHRUG
Psi didn't really have any idea what he was doing. It's not like this was an easy place to accidentally be. He was probably only allowed because of his status as supervisor, and even then he knew people thought it was strange that he'd come here. The cave jail was dank and dark, to the Psionic that made it feel homey. It brought back barely cognizant memories of his wiggler hood and post-pupation before the trials. They weren't things he remembered, but the feelings were there. However, considering the differences between their species he doubted this place held the same sorts of feelings for the human held inside. He comes up to the bars, not really sure what he's about to see. He doesn't know what sort of shape Foster will be in after their manhunt. He tries to be prepared for anything. With Foster though, he has a feeling that might be difficult.
"Hey."

But why?! What threat do his words present? what is he doing that is making Foster feel as though his very survival is at risk!? If questioning Foster's logic pushed him to this level of anxiety... Was there something about him being a disease that he viewed as integral to his very being? If his brain was the part of him that was sick it made a sort of sense that he would view the sickness as an identity. A person's mind was the source of their thoughts, of their contagiousness, in a sense a persons mind was their very identity.
But having a disease just didn't make you a disease and why would anyone want that to be a part of their own identity? Some parts of a person they were born to, others they constructed as the result of their experiences. Which was this? A construction, some kind of sheild? Or was it just innate. Did it even matter? Could it be both?
Foster's words shake him from his thought process. The look on his face as he watches Foster happily explain how he deserves this, a mixture of fear and pity. It's terrible that someone could live this way. Maybe Psi really can't understand, but if that's the case it's only because he really doesn't know anything about Foster. And it's now clear to the Psionic that this just isn't a way he can learn about him. He needed to do something else.
He watches Foster as the silence lingers between them. He has no idea what to say. He wishes he could say something to make this better, but he fears everything he could say would only make things worse. It's as though Foster spoke a completely different language than him, there's no way he could attempt to communicate with the human without also risking making some sort of grave offense. It was frustrating, it was frightening. What would Signless do?
"...I'm sorry to have upset you."
