It's the opposite, actually. It's a sort of intelligence sharing treaty signed by the five governments of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the US.
My organization's an extension of that but operating in... I guess what they'd call "grey space."
I know, I know. Keep my lips shut or this'll get complicated. ...Does this mean I can't share anything about this either? [ She gestures to the medical file. ]
Additional reporting on what you're doing, obviously. Not everywhere is observed, and there are more holes in where they can observe you than in the locker rooms.
[he gives a mildly offended look-- he's not that scared of her... is he? But after a little sigh, he nods.]
I gave this to Connor too, but it's important. I want it out there. Tell them you screamed it out of me-- it's believable, and I'm sure I can continue to act scared of you.
With emphasis on the act part. I'm also good at acting dumb and confused, if necessary.
[if this weren't such an emotionally fraught moment, and if he didn't... sort of appreciate hearing it... he'd take the opportunity to tease her. but this time, he nods a little, making sure to keep his face more neutral.]
It's just how I feel. What is it with all of you...thanking me for speakin' my mind?
[ But she's looking away, and really in that moment she just looks...tired. Can't keep up her strong, fiery attitude. The week's taken it out of her, and...well, it'll be back.

[said simply with a light shrug. still, he minimizes that-- without moving. It's strange, but he's using minimal eye movements to do what he wants.
then he brings up a query that's been cycling for-- weeks?]
The other thing is... I was able to break into this medical database, but I can't reach the server back to my organization.
It's like it doesn't exist anymore. But I know that's impossible....
Still, that's to say, there is probably more information I can take, but it's stuck here. And i can't call for help.

I didn't tell anyone about you. By the way. Not a single person. So I think I'd like to know a little more about this...organization.

[he pauses, his own mouth growing into a thin line. He's trying to not show any nerves, but he is still nervous.]
It's a... secret project, of sorts. Have you ever heard of the five eyes?
no subject
Is this some kind of...urban legend?

This is hard-- I know there's a spy among the students for Hale. But I don't know how much they're actually helping him at this point.

No, okay. If I say I- I found this. In the library, yeah? No one else is in there as much as me, except for...oh, Waver and Monika. Good kids.
[ becca,, ]
If I find out places we can talk, I can say I...screamed it out of you. They all know you're scared of me, anyway.

...If I go around sharing this, will that get you in trouble?
no subject

In... a sense.
