Sure. One problem: you've got sporadic outside influence. [the stress of what could possibly happen next was always floating over all their heads. sometimes the gods' undue influence was easily ignored, allowing people to breathe a sigh of relief, but it wasn't often enough.
trying to establish a sense of order on already shaky foundations was difficult, to say the least. kind of like trying to train a dog that was constantly being distracted by a third party, for better or worse.]
But maybe you'll figure out how to deal with that.
Well, I probably can't stop these gods from messing with people's heads, but we can try to have some sort of response effort. Damage control, that kind of thing...
[ Maybe it is a fool's errand, and maybe Big Boss will end up getting to rub this all in his face and say he told him so. But Kaz has to at least try.
After a pause, he heaves out a sigh and looks to Snake more directly. ]
How about you? What are your plans?
[ Now that they've agreed to work in tandem instead of against each other, he should be allowed to know at least that much. ]
[he thinks for a moment, not really sure if he had any concrete plans. there were still too many unknowns when it came to the cave and the gods. every trip everyone had ever taken into the catacombs had ended with absolutely nothing to show for it. how could they formulate a plan for escape with odds like that?]
It doesn't matter. My plans are your plans from this point on. If you want to look at any of the intel I've built up, just ask.
[ Just like that, they're partners again. At least, that's the way that Big Boss phrases it. What he actually feels about it as harder to say. Due to that lack of emotional intelligence, Snake can be difficult to read.
Kaz has no idea how to feel at this point. He's the one who had suggested they work together in the first place, which at least grants him some amount of control over the situation. He's so tired of feeling weak for this man.
All the same, he nods. ] All right. Show me everything you've got.
