He laughs then at her disgruntled countenance. "True, it's usually something I would take you up on. A very risky bet, which tend to be the most fun. However," he adds, eyeing her, "I don't take bets I know I'll lose. So I suppose you can keep your secrets on that one, little Fool."
He listens with rapt interest about Sunday. Huh. So he was on the right track but also...not. He thinks of the Doctor's letter, and its words about dormancy. Was that a hint? Did he know...?
He huffs, bitter amusement clear in his face. "Well it seems I was not included in his "everyone", now was I? Sunday tied a noose around my neck and gave me mere system hours to escape, so I really had no choice." Hurt like hell, too. He has a suspicion his headaches might be lingering after effects from that "blessing"...at least exacerbated by it. Acheron did get rid of the bulk of it, thank Gaiathra. He watches Sparkle's little display. "Pretty! Still, again, not my style. I've had enough of cages and chains for one lifetime, thank you."
He sighs, clearly put upon. "Nothing too different about that." And all those honey names...you'd think her words would be sweeter for it, but no. "Good for fun, huh? You know fun can be better when it's shared." He flicks out a card from his vest pocket. "How about some games? It'll pass the time, and at least I can get some fun out of this, too."
Sparkle is not at all who he'd pick for company in this setting, but beggars can't be choosers. And annoying company is better than none at all, he supposes.
