[Under the cover of his hood, Archer regarded the device recording him. He wasn't entirely sure of the scope of the camera's view and ability to pan, though--so, he didn't notice that in the immediate background, a number of sapling trees could be seen readily. Sweat ran down his cheeks and to his neck visibly, liking from using his 'Growth'

[She recognizes the courtyard from her own house, even if the trees are a new addition.]

You're with House Sigyn too.

Guess I am. [Not that there was a point in lying. He tried sneaking around the other houses and felt the 'impulse' to leave them each time.]

That puts us in similar positions then. [She's been keeping mostly to herself these last few days, sorting out her thoughts and plans.] Tear Grants. You?

[grave_of_roots]

Sorry, I don't have a name to share with you. I'm not that lucky a guy.

[In a way, he was lying and telling the truth in the same breath. In this case, it was more aligned with the truth.]

..how do you not have a name to share?

You shouldn't pry into something that isn't your business, miss.

I know I look interesting, but I'm not a guy you ought to be proud about being housed with.

[She opens her mouth to say something...then reconsiders it. Everybody has their secrets, and he's right it's not her business. Not that she's not suspicious or curious.]

Fine; but don't make assumptions about what I'm proud to do or not do.

Do you have a take on our shared situation?

[grave_of_roots]

Don't worry about me assuming anything--I've got better things to do than pry.

[That placid smile of his was probably going to wear thing, soon.]

Just the same--It should be obvious how I feel about what's going on. What would most people think about it?

[Video]

[fortunes_arc]

Agreed.

People think different things, and you can't assume what that is. [She crosses her arms.] You're the first I've found who was also picked by Sigyn, so we have a little more in common than everyone else I've spoken to.

[He felt a bit annoyed. Archer knew the nature of Sigyn and while he didn't feel he was a match for a House with such a kind attitude, deep down he knew it was likely because of his lousier qualities. The ones that didn't win him wars.]

Well--I don't think you'd want to have anything in common with me beyond that. I can be pretty charming, but that might be where things end.

[Hiding the fact that he's ticked off about being subjected to the Norse Gods in such extreme amounts.]

[From her perspective, she's wondering if Sigyn had made a mistake or she had misheard what kind of qualities the House had prided. Then again, first impressions weren't always correct.]

Regardless of if I want to or not, we do have something in common. Preferably it won't be for long and we'll both get back to our lives.

Donesn't matter to me, either way.

The way I see it--there's only a few ways to get out of here and something tells me they're all real unappealing.
