Recently? Probably not as much as we should've. Been busy with an alien invasion. [ and he just. breezes past that by taking another swing ] We've been concentrating on stopping her plans to annex the neighboring country, Qurac. About five years ago, we broke her thrall on the sitting president, and-- and then two months later she'd enthralled a woman we'd met there. Made her drive herself off a cliff, orphaning her son.
[Honestly, he just nods. If he stops and questions every weird thing, he'd never get anything done. So sure, aliens. Enthralling. And then that last bit, which sets them right back into reality, doesn't it?]
Yeah. His adoptive sister's one of my best friends and the kid was on my team. [ the was is. not the way he wants it to come out, so-- ] He still is, I'm the one who's... not.
