(no subject)
“They say a man is known by the company he keeps.” Or humans say it. Telrim... well, she’s been doing some serious thinking on the matter of friendship lately. And as often happens when one thinks too hard on a subject, now she’s much more uncertain than when she began.
The Controller pauses, frowning more deeply than she realises. The question she really wants to ask is probably illegal just to contemplate. And would net her all the wrong kinds of return questions from most Nexus-goers. So after a second she throws out, instead, “What kind of friends do you keep? Or enemies, if that’s more your style?”
Not the true question, but... perhaps close enough to help.
