Castiel doesn't have much to say in response to that; just leads Eizen around a few twists and turns, looking behind them, watching for intruders before leading him over to a secluded area in a park and turning to face him, finally.] All right. We should be safe to speak here.
[ Eizen doesn't speak for the trek, merely follows behind and watches Castiel's movements. It doesn't take him very long to catch on to what the other was leading him towards. Understandable, he thinks, especially for a subject as sensitive as this clearly has to be.
He shifts, digs a foot into the ground a little, before nodding. ]
Aye, we should be. [ A beat. ] So what do you plan to do?
I do plan to assault the Marsiva, and what I've said over the network about it being for the sake of retrieving my friend is true. [Tucks his hands into his coat pockets.] However, that isn't the only goal.
I want to test Atroma's limitations. Or their willingness to keep the truth hidden.
[ Interesting. He definitely has Eizen's interest now, more so than he did before. ]
It's a dangerous venture you're proposing. [ That won't stop him, he thinks. ] But I'd be happy to offer whatever assistance I can so. However I have to warn you my assistance does come with it's own risks.
Simply put, I'm cursed. [ Ypu guessed it. It's totally the weirdo curse sticking to him like glue. ] My very presence can cause bad things to happen to anyone around me. I don't know how or if it will strike, but the risk is always there that it will.
[ He's reminded of Velvet's reaction to his curse when he told her about it, the way she didn't hesitate in the face of it, the threat. Eizen blinks, staring at Castiel for a moment, before exhaling. ]
Are you certain? It could mean your own death having me beside you.
[ Can this guy even die? That is something he hasn't even considered. ]
I've died a lot. [It's fallen kind of far down the list of things that frighten him, honestly] It won't be a problem; I can shield the others from the worst of it, as well. If you want to assist, you're welcome.
Alright, I will assist you. But if something happens as a result of my curse I trust you to care of the others. Prioritize them first, I can see to myself.
[Some have even called his confidence...dumb and stupid.]
I agree to your terms. [Moving on.] I'd like to use this to test how closely they monitor our communications, as well as to see what sort of defenses they have in place, though my ultimate goal is to retrieve my friend Sam.
More than a few individuals have suggested as such, one of them your friend. [The Mikleo kid.] I can't find him on the surface or the other ships. I have to conclude he's somewhere we can't reach, but still within the limits of the Fleet.
...though I suppose he could have been forced into a pocket of subspace or a parallel dimension, but I'm not capable of searching those as I am.

That won't be an issue. I'm very accustomed to things going wrong.

I know the man you speak of, seen him a few times on the network. You suspect they have on aboard the Marsiva?
