( her eyes narrow at him, head moving to tip in his direction. there'd been small, subtle movements, though quill was incredibly good at keeping still, at observing. it's how she'd survived the lorr god -- pretend to be a statue.
still, his comment comes across a little strange. surely he's seen people just standing before )
( so she can know. it might not seem like much and on its own it wouldn't be but watch enough and build up a pattern, especially with multiple guards )
( she turns her attention to him for a few seconds, seeing how serious he is. her expression is almost one of why should i? but she needs cooperation to find more things out )
He makes the same circular rotation for two hours before someone switches with him.
( especially because if she did jump a guard they'd at the least subdue her and then know what she was up to. quill needed to get this information without them realising, find out more and then act )
( don't talk to her about guns. she's only just gotten hers back and, ignoring the fact that she can't use it anyway, quill has been separated from it already. she mad )

Are you?
no subject
[ you were standing as still as a tree. there was a difference. ]
Just thought I'd check before I stood near you to block out the sun.
no subject
( with her slight stature and far shorter height she'd make a terrible sun-blocker. unless he meant in reverse and then she just didn't get it )
What's the point?
no subject
[ logic, what's logic? ]
What, you don't wanna? You weren't doing anything else.
no subject
( though it's said with such distaste that he'd really have to be an idiot not to know that she thought he was an idiot )
no subject
[ and have more personality, he thinks. ]
But hey, you can go back to your solitude if that's what you want. Just seemed boring.
no subject
I was observing what happens.
( she doesn't need to explain but it feels like a tiny fuck you since she was actually doing something )
What people do, where they go.
( and any conversations she can hear )
no subject
[ sounded boring but also sounded pointless. ]
You're trying to pinpoint patterns, I get it. But why?
no subject
( knowledge was powerful. knowing what people did would help figure them out or help her to avoid them )
Knowing what they know is useful.
no subject
[ he frowns. ]
So, knowing that some idiot walks the perimeter of this room ten times is going to help you how?
no subject
( maybe that thing on its own wouldnt but things didn't happen on their own )
He'll walk more than one room.
no subject
[ what the hell? ]
Good for him avoiding cardiovascular disease.
no subject
( she was hoping for slightly more than an idiot but clearly that was too much )
Where else might he go?
no subject
[ this place wasn't exactly brimming with places to visit. ]
To Hell? To another room? To eat?
no subject
( so she can know. it might not seem like much and on its own it wouldn't be but watch enough and build up a pattern, especially with multiple guards )
no subject
[ from this weird watching of people walking around? ]
no subject
( at least he hasn't seemed it by how doubtful he'd seemed.
she also hasn't yet found much but she's only just started )
no subject
[ because no, walking around and watching what people did doesn't sound exciting but he's the only one talking to her, isn't he? ]
no subject
He makes the same circular rotation for two hours before someone switches with him.
no subject
[ okay so a changing of the guard. he scratches his cheek. ]
You planning on jumping him?
no subject
( especially because if she did jump a guard they'd at the least subdue her and then know what she was up to. quill needed to get this information without them realising, find out more and then act )
He's not enough.
no subject
You know, this would be more fun if you had guns that you could shoot at these people to make them be more entertaining.
no subject
Yeah, getting less subtle every time you speak.
no subject
[ they just weren't that into you. ]
At least I'm making suggestions.
no subject
( like how you thought she was a statue. covert, idiot )
You won't get anything if you shoot them.
