"What are those series of question meant to mean?" Are you implying he cooperated for a ball or got a ball at the end of it, pal?! "It was in my arms band, okay?"

A huff, but nevermind that-

"Yeah, I cooperated. Sure, they're weird and spooky at first, but they weren't bossing me around or refusing to tell me stuff. I asked what would happen to us, and they said they wanna figure out what the train's deal is with us, what it wants." He gestures out a hand, the motion itself meaningless, just a wave.

"The reason they had to put on that charade was half 'cause the train wouldn't talk to them unless they faked a mission." He folds his arm across the back of the seat again. "Yeah, I don't get why they need to keep it up now or why we can't just talk to everyone... but at least they're answering questions." He huffs. "That's new, for once."
