[counterclocked]

I... That was an honest question!

[Please save him.]

[cluedin]

Yeah but that wasn't why I was asking! [Is there any saving him oh my god.]

[counterclocked]

Okay, sor—

[He cuts himself off, but like. There is not.]

...Okay. Why were you asking?

[cluedin]

I guess it's because I'm wondering why.

[counterclocked]

I mean, it kind of depends on the situation? Like, this time I made things weird, the other day I was going on about myself without giving you a chance to tell me where you're from...

[His crippling self esteem issues definitely have nothing to do with it.]

[cluedin]

[...]

Yeah but I wasn't even mad about either of those things. [SHE DOESN'T GET IT???]

[counterclocked]

I know, but... You don’t have to be mad for me to be sorry. Maybe that isn’t a good explanation... I’ll try not to say it again.

[cluedin]

Normally people should only say they're sorry if they mean it, but it kinda sounds like you mean it a lot more than other people. [Hunter are you okay.] ...besides, guests shouldn't have to apologize to the staff.

[counterclocked]

Right... I'll try to cut it out.

[That may be missing the point, but it's fine.]

[cluedin]

...that went right over your head, huh. [hUNTER!!!!!]

[counterclocked]

...Sorry.

[Ah—]

I mean - no I'm not.

[cluedin]

Good! [She beams and they enter the billiards room, hopping right along.] Wanna have a seat while we find good cues for you?

[counterclocked]

Sounds good, thanks.

[Towards a chair they go!!]

[cluedin]

[There she go, depositing Hunter in a seat!!]

Crutches are supposed to be a little shorter so that you're hunched and applying your weight, right? We've never used them before.

[counterclocked]

I think so. These are going to be different no matter what, since they don’t have the handholds, but... We can start there.

[cluedin]

Would it be possible to make handholds, you think? [Time to size these sticks up.]

[counterclocked]

That's kind of up to you, isn't it? I mean... You're probably more familiar with what's around here than I am.

[cluedin]

Yeah but you're more familiar with medicine and stuff than I am. I don't know how these things work.

[counterclocked]

[A beat.]

I'm... not sure where you got that idea, I don't know anything about medicine.

[cluedin]

I've never seen a pair of crutches up close.

[counterclocked]

...In five thousand years, I’m really the first person who’s needed them?

[cluedin]

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

[counterclocked]

[He pauses.]

What else could you say?

[cluedin]

If others have used them in this house, I've never seen them. You'd have to ask the others.

[counterclocked]

[He looks thoughtful after she says that.]

Is this the first time you've really been able to get to know any of the guests?
