Mm, well, sometimes it's just luck of the draw that some people find out what they do. But no, this place is hardly easy on the new people.

[Her question prompted him to stare at his hands for a long moment. How did he deal? Not always well.]

Gather what I can and hope it'll eventually make a difference in getting out of here. Whenever there's a clue or a tidbit that might help figure things out I try to write it down. Bide my time and try not to be obvious about poking into things. Basically trying to get the last laugh.

[He finally looked back up at her, his expression wry.]

And when it feels when that isn't getting me anywhere, sometimes it helps to just punch or shoot something.

[Sure, it didn't do anything, but it was cathartic. Sometimes catharsis was all you had.

He sighed, leaning back a bit as he sat sideways in his seat.]

I'm glad you came out of that all right, by the way. I'm sure getting shut up in a cave is anything but a good time.
