just locked to cain from hereon out until stated otherwise lol
[Even though he asked about it, he's finding it almost impossible to care. Cain's voice feels like a drill.]
So let's say all of this is true. Time travel, prisoners, whatever. Fine. None of that matters at all. If I got here, there's a way to get elsewhere.
[At that, he visibly relaxes - all the stringy muscles in his body untense and he slumps a little bit. The mask creeps back over his face somewhat and he smiles, though the pain is still there. His fingers are still pressing down into his scalp.]
This is just a minor detour, isn't it. Whatever this is. If we're really talking "time travel," then it doesn't actually matter how long I'm missing. I can get back to the point I left off at. I'm not missing out on anything.
Alright.
[He nods, much more relaxed. Given the outburst just a few moments ago, this would be hugely weird to anyone else, but Birdman knows he can get away with it here - with him - so he doesn't bother with smoother "transitions."]
