Sieghart... You're a hard guy to read.

[ercnerd]

[A corner of his lips twitches into a curl.]

Am I? I think I've been honest this past week . . . Does that mean you doubt me?

[shaft]

I doubt people out of habit.

But I think it'd be more accurate to say that I have a hard time understanding you.

[ercnerd]

Where's this coming from?

[shaft]

The fact that you can't account for time!

[ercnerd]

Is that so surprising? Listen, here. I stopped keeping track of my own age once I became two hundred. What difference does a month or two make for someone like me?

[shaft]

Alright, alright. I can concede that you're right.

So, did you and Lucretia go on a honeymoon?

[ercnerd]

. . . Well, there was a moon . . .

[shaft]

The moon she lives on?

[ercnerd]

[For a moment, he appears just a little at a loss for words.]

. . . Yeah. That moon. Did she tell you much about it?

[shaft]

[ jae testing my seasons knowledge ]

Just that she lived there, and that she was the director of a facility.

[ercnerd]

I don't know how she does it. It's an ordeal just to go between planets.
