	[ He squints a little in concentration, following the conversation well enough to not leave too much of an awkward gap between question and answer. ] This place... [ A vague gesture to all of this, followed by an equally vague response. ] Can we be sure of anything here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[As a specialist in vague responses, Gaeta is somewhat suspicious. Is Reid getting at something here? He shakes his head and gives Reid an inquiring look.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Do we have ourselves a vague-off? Perhaps. ] I've been here 249 days. After awhile, you lose sight of the specifics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That sounds like the least informative standoff ever. Back to making Reid exercise his lip-reading skills: What specifics, specifically? Not that he expects a real reply.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He releases a slow breath, committing to this generalised topic of conversation. ] You know... what's bothering us this week, what have we forgotten today, will I wake up as someone else or is it just an average day where one of my closest friends have disappeared? Things like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[That seems like the kind of thing that should be met with an expression of... something, but Gaeta's people skills are out of practice. Forgetting for a moment that talking like a normal human isn't an option today, he sings--]

There must be some way out of here...

[--before catching himself. He crosses his arms and manages to look only moderately chagrined.

The line might sound like something Reid has heard before.]

	[ He raises a brow, for sure. In a way it's a welcome distraction, he wasn't really up for discussing all the intricate details of the heartbreak that is Marina. ] Are you calling me a thief? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[What, no. What. He shakes his head and mouths, Do you know that song?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-11-03 07:06 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, of course. Some consider it a classic back home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Now that's interesting. Although the song may not have been a classic in the Colonies, it was around. Gaeta has already been surprised by religious, cultural, and linguistic similarities between the Colonies and whatever version of Earth is most widely represented here, but this is uncanny. It warrants investigation.

None of that is easy to convey nonverbally, so what if he...]

There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief

[Helpful. He'll have to get back to you on this when language is working again, Reid.]

	[ He nods — okay. Today is a weird day for serious conversation so maybe it's better if they save it for some other time. ] We can pick up on this later, when you're more, uh. Communicative. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-05 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	[Stupid dome, getting in the way of what could have potentially been a conversation about escaping. (Maybe they could have even compared vampire stories!) He nods. I'd appreciate that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-11-06 07:19 am UTC (link)
	Later, then. [ Reassuring smile and awkward wave and then he'll leave Gaeta to his work. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
