He hangs back, rather than approach.

The fairy looks up at him. "You don't need to do anything about me, I'm fine with the binding I've got," she says coldly.

"I assume you'd ask if you weren't. Do you need anything for him?"

"Not from you."

"It's going to be a few more hours. Plus however long it takes you to get back, if you don't want me doing that."

"Well, you know, I wouldn't stop him if he decided to walk out the airlock, so that's everything you care about all neat and tidy, isn't it."

"Do you actually want to talk about this, or do you want me to go?"

"I want you to have not done this."

"And I want you not to have done this. But we're here now, there's no reason to make each other more miserable than we have to."

"You could stop. You haven't got them all, I watched on the cameras."

"Do you have a plan in mind for how to solve this, or are you just saying I should let it fester?"

"We haven't had extranet out here for a while because if the inmates don't neither do we. I don't know what you think you're solving, I only know what you're breaking."

"You can't hold people without a choice. It doesn't have to be one they like but there has to be some way out."

"- do you know what they did before they had this?"

"Tell me."

"I'd love to if I thought you were thoughtful or reasonable but you'll probably break more things!"

"I'd rather solve this in a way that works for all of us. But my cleric tried to work with your supervisors and they wanted nothing to do with it."

"My supervisors? He'd better not have been able to find the people I report to, that isn't how this is structured, you don't want to paint a target on the security fairy's summoner!"

"We won't, don't worry about it. The people in charge, is what I meant."

"I don't know what a cleric is and I haven't said two words to Chua, I don't know what she's like."

"It hardly matters at this point, anyway."

"We were in the middle of a prison inspection. They wouldn't have found anything wrong. It's comfortable here. I eat the same things as them and get the same media and spend strictly less time in atmosphere. They all got trials. The per capita incarceration rate of daeva is practically nothing compared to the human one."

"If you're not going to listen to me I'll just get back to work."

"You don't know what they were doing before and you didn't look it up."

"I don't actually care if they were doing something even worse before. This isn't tolerable."
