Hello —

 

[ hi guys. ]

Is this some sort of rhetorical question? Pondering the meaning of your existence, are you?

[But he doesn't doubt that Alan can be an odd guy sometimes, so maybe there's something else to it.]

[alankazam]

[ a beat,]

What makes a question rhetorical?

[ is that one too ]

[in_death_sacrifice]

Typically, it's a question to which you don't expect a true answer. Something asked when you have some other point...

So I suppose what I actually want to know is... are you truly lost, or is there something else to this?

[alankazam]

[ were alan another sort of person, he might point out that kain's very well answered his own question. but he's not, you know, that much of a dick. ]

There's always something to everything. But I'm lost.

[ and a little too distracted by the skeletons right now to be properly distracted by the possibilities of philosophy, for once — ]

[in_death_sacrifice]

Right, of course… but how can you expect anyone to tell you where you are if you don’t describe the area?

[Though, hm, Kain is not too familiar with Kirkwall, so this may be a bit of a challenge on many levels.]

[alankazam]

Someone might have seen me, wouldn't they?

[ seems reasonable to him ]

[in_death_sacrifice]

Well... I suppose I can't exactly argue against that logic. They may have. I'd not have thought of asking in that way, but... hopefully it works.
