You'll come to find that David isn't someone to brag unless needed for intimidation tactics. He's an extremely humble individual when it comes that 'talents'. Call it what you want. It's just how he is.

"Thanks," its honest, but it comes with no additional information. "Where was your first? I mean, if you don't mind me asking."

Devi bobs her head in welcome, fingers dipping into her candy bag to pop one into her mouth.

"A street much more chaotic then this. This place isn't half bad, all things considered. What about you?"

[treadstone]

"I was on a boat," the soft in his speech almost sounds like he's replaying the memory for himself as much as he might be relaying information to her. "They called it the Charon. Had a ghost crew that was just as captive as us. Group called COMPASS. Did experiments to study fear."

[artistwithasickness]

"The boat the ferries the dead across the River Styx," she muttered quietly to herself, finding the ghost crew appropriate and the whole COMPASS idea something she could see one Dr Weasker doing. And well.

"Sounds bad. Things happen here, but it's not a focused topic. Keeps you on your toes though."

"It's always the people that matter." Yeah, it wasn't pleasant but some part of him thinks about the people he knew. Chief and Wesley. Sheva, Trish... wherever she went. It was a lot of adjusting at first but eventually he almost came to like it. The people. People he related to. People who understood. He wasn't a monster or exceptional he was just another soldier and that was almost comforting.

"Hope so," he takes a moment. "I'd hate to be bored." And another. "What can you tell me about Tristan. I mean, no offence to the people that live like this but I don't exactly swing that way."

[artistwithasickness]

"I wouldn't know," she remarked back. 'People' was not her thing. Connections, perhaps, people, not so much.

"Don't worry. Tristan doesn't want any of us. The parameters that the Grasp runs on doesn't include a check box for what we're got downstairs." Blunt, but honest.
