[thinking for a bit]

Talk.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

I can't. Not when you're still under King's influence like this. Anything you know, he can know. And the last thing I want to do is put someone important to me at risk for nothing.

[noglovenolove.insanejournal.com]

Then don't, and I'll be on my way.

I wouldn't even be saying this much if you weren't one of those important people, you goddamn idiot. If you really want to know the other option, then it comes with a price. And that's that, if you decide to not take it, you agree to have it erased from your mind so you can't put anyone else in danger.

Fuck, I'm probably saying too much already.

[noglovenolove.insanejournal.com]

You know I don't want to put anyone else in danger, I've spent the majority of the day trying to clean up after the danger you already created. But you will have to be a little clearer on what you're offering.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

First agree that if you don't take the offer, you'll stay here until it can be erased from your mind. There'll be even more danger involved if any of this gets back to King.

[noglovenolove.insanejournal.com]

I agree.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

Mm.

There's a way your bond to King can be severed, so he can't know what you know and can't control you. You end up as a rogue element, like the ones who ran off, but more able to help us while we try to get everyone free from this place. And I mean everyone.

[noglovenolove.insanejournal.com]

If King catches the rogue elements they're going to be done. As in done forever.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

You think we don't know that? Why do you think no one's talking? I don't even know where those two have gone, or how many others might actually be rogue but not have acted yet.

[noglovenolove.insanejournal.com]

You think you could keep me safe?

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

*nods*

Of course I can. I wouldn't be offering if I didn't think I could help you.

[noglovenolove.insanejournal.com]

I want to say yes, but this is a huge risk.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

I know that. But you're taking a risk either way. You could lose everything by staying put.

[noglovenolove.insanejournal.com]

I'll take the risk with you.

... I took the memories.

What was in them?
