At least no one is trying to eat us? [ that would really suck. ]
Yeah, we aren't. [ and then he laughs, a little wry laugh like he's trying to find humor here somewhere as he shakes his head. ] You're at least stuck with me if we don't keep going missing.
[ and he sees what you're up to here, good lady, but he'll allow it. ] If you'd asked me like two, three days before I got here? I would have said he was a huge asshole but... yeah. Steve's-- [ actually? still an asshole but not the sort that eddie hates on a fundamental level. ] He's good guy.
[ and he genuinely believes that one. ] Definitely someone you want on your side if stuff goes down.
[ it seems obvious. anyone who's already latching onto a soulmate must have someone they already trust, right? even if it was an accident, like eddie's case. ]
[ a long pause. does she want to trust eddie with that? eddie might be too good of a person to leave aleksander here when they escape. there's no way he'd understand, and she doesn't really want him to pry into who exactly aleksander is to her. she's not even sure she has an answer. it's her shadow telling her to hide everything, telling her she can't trust anyone else, can't confide in them or rely upon them as she had tried to with aleksander himself. look where that went. ]
... Yes. I know someone else who's here. Just the two of us, from what I can tell.
[ that pause has eddie pausing too, taking a moment to let that sink in.
no name, no details. nothing like he shared with alina about steve but then again, alina doesn't owe him anything. sometimes eddie doesn't know where to stop but here, now, he can guess there's reason behind that hesitation. ] I'm sorry.
Let's hope we both stick to two-somes from our worlds, huh?
On my end, I don't know if I want my whole town here.

[ a deep, world-weary sigh. ]
But at least we're not alone. [ idle, prying, ] Steve is ... nice.

Is he the only one here who you recognize?
no subject
So far. I'm hoping I don't see anyone from home.
[ a pause. ] I was hoping I wouldn't see him either.
Is there anyone here from your home? [ it's not a great feeling to know the people you care about are dead, even if it means you're not alone. ]
