What? That's nonsense. He must mean he's not coming as long as the riots continue.

Did he say why?

[darkov]

He said as...as long as I'm here...he's not coming back. For--for my own good, he said. I don't know.

[ct_7567]

As long as you're here...?

[ That makes even less sense. Archie loves the kid. Why would he do something daft like that? He knows the way Martin gets. ]

There must have been a mix-up. I'll talk to him too, get to the bottom of things. [ He pauses. ] If you don't want to stay out there with Akira, tell me. I'll bring you back. And I'll be here. Got that?

[darkov]

...Yes, sir. I understand.

[he kind of wants to say i want to go now, but...that'd be cowardly. and insulting to Akira, who went to the trouble of dragging him along, even though his yellow-haired friend seems pretty set on despising him.

Cassandra and Riptide both said it was better to stay out of the city for now, too...]

[ct_7567]

All right. Until then, you're going to check in once a day, minimum, with an update on your status. Do you understand?

[darkov]

Yes, sir. I will. Once a day.

[a beat.]

Is there anything else?

[ct_7567]

No. That's all.

[ He should probably have something else to say. ]

I'll talk to you tomorrow. Good-bye.
