[ Yeah, he'd definitely not meant to say part of that aloud/into text. That's one of the problems with multitasking is sometimes (because he doesn't type, everything goes straight from his brain into visible text) the inside concern makes it to his outside voice. And the splash of cold water by mentioning the Archivist is... not... what he meant to do. K had expressed furthering concern about what happened to Arid, and that's where his mind connected. He had been keeping a casual eye on Jon, but that Eye had a tendency to watch back.
Ice cold shower, indeed. Damnit. He would much rather keep talking about bacon. ]
Yeah. I'm right there with you in that cold shower. Wrapping up here then I'll be home. See what we can do about warming back up a little.
[ In answer to the question, he briefly makes himself visible on the screen to hold up his keys. Antler keychain, apartment key, keychain from Martin (as requested), and a car key (+ keyless entry fob) for a vehicle that is definitely not present in Deerington. He blinks back out because video is definitely going to make what he's working on take longer, and he's suddenly eager to get back. ]
Got it. And I'm very happy to not be right in the line of fire of potential danger. There's enough of all that "tangential to danger" and "suddenly danger that you never see coming" to want to do that on purpose.
Of course, I'm glad to have a reason to want to be more cautious. You're watching over me, and I'm watching you. That's a good place to be.
[ He wasn't exaggerating the visceral disgust Sims inspires, but he was teasing Tech Boy a little, too. It doesn't always translate well in text. ]
I have the utmost faith in your abilities. And you don't have to rush on my account. I know your work is important.
[ Benefits of a workaholic dating a Nexus-9: he doesn't expect to come before that work, even after just being told he's more interesting than it. Because... programming. For better or worse. And he's glad to receive the visual confirmation that Tech Boy is being more cautious. ]
To answer your question, mainly him. Since he has a well documented history of preying on other Sleepers. And the more Martin insists he's happy with Sims, the more I worry about him... I'm sure you've already noticed the other Sleepers who may warrant extra caution as well. Some openly advertise their motives on the public network. [ A whole lot of them do, conveniently. Sometimes the oversharing is useful. While he can't actively monitor the network as effortlessly as Tech Boy can, he does try to stay abreast of things, and there's plenty of questionable (if probably mostly harmless) activity at any given time. ] What's the extra key for?
