EVENT: It's Time to Talk (Day 2, LM, Storage)

[Dorgan Bruun]

"That's ok, Samuel, that's ok. It sounds like things have been pretty scary lately, so it's good that you're here and safe now."

Bruun acts like he's ready to leave. "I appreciate you talking with us, Samuel. I'm going to let my boss know what you've shared with us, how you've chosen to be helpful, which is great." The mechwarrior looks very calm and pleasant, almost paternal. Inside his head: I hate this job so much right now. Sole perk: working with Miss Collette.

[Comstar]

(Assuming Yuri has left off camera so there is not weird time warp)

"Uh... thanks."

Samuel nodded, and then added, "Listen... I know it isn't really your business, but if you do fight them and beat them, it's better for everyone. I'm sorry people got hurt but if you got any Slate Eaters... they had it coming. They deserve what they get."

[Dorgan Bruun]

Bruun chooses his words carefully, conscientious in front of Colette.

"Look kid. Samuel," he corrects himself. "I appreciate the thought, but don't go trying to confuse me with some kind of hero. I've killed a lot of people in my life. I reckon at least some deserved it, but probably at least some didn't." He scratches his beard.

"Heroes are great, until they leave, or... Well, ah, anyway. You try to take care of you. Your family too, if you can. We'll do what the bosses tell us with these Slate Eater types, but don't go expecting us to take care of them. Ain't why we came here." Bruun's eyes look a little faraway, but he sounds like he's given parts of this speech before.

[Colette Rupelle]

Colette pouted and sighed. "Well take zis for when you get hungry." She took a cookie out of her pocket. "You'll need to eat eventually. Don't make me sad at least take ze cookie."

[Comstar]

"I get that, it isn't your problem... but if they do cause you trouble and you put them down... they deserve it."

He expression spoke volumes.

After a moment, he took the cookie.

"Ok miss, I'll try."
