Ψiioniic was still half doubled over in shock and pain as Signless hustled him into the room with their names on the door. 'Overlord' Mao was left out in the hall, and part of Ψiioniic's freak-out had a lot to do with the thought of potential punishments he might be suffering the next time he met the strange alien.

The rest of the freak-out was very much focused on the troll right in front of him. "You're dead," he gasped, choking on his tears. "You're dead, I thaw you die."

Signless twitched at Psiioniic's reaction and buried a hand in his friend's hair, awkwardly trying to soothe him and tell him that he wasn't mad at him, without saying anything in front of the girl.

"Could be," he said neutrally. "I still don't like it. There's too much that's weird and dangerous, and makes no sense."

"Yeah, but one of the weird thingth is that you're alive, so..." Ψiioniic tilted his head into the contact, his eyes drooping again as he enjoyed the feel of Signless' hand in his hair. "Like I thaid. I'm not complaining. So long as the Condesce doesn't show up, thith is the best thing that's ever happened to me."

Looking at Signless, he reconsidered with a small smile. "Well, second best. The firtht was being ordered to assassinate you."

Blink. Blink blink.

"Being order to assassinate him was a good thing?" Feferi brain no compute that statement.

Signless laughed. "Yeah. He was ordered to infiltrate our group and then assassinate me. But instead, he listened." He ruffled Psiioniic's hair. "Of course, because he's not a complete bulgemunching idiot."

"More like, becauthe you're one," Ψiioniic dared to tease back, smiling. "That, and you tell a good story. You'd almost think it really mattered to you."
