Don't know they're offering, huh? That's a twist! Lalo turns that bit of unexpected new information over in his mind a bit. And here, he'd been thinking this might have been a request from on high, or at least if it was Demitri's idea, that they knew he was doing it.

Apparently not. Hmmmm. That changes things a little!

Lalo sits up, swinging his legs with the sudden motion. "Really?" he says. "Just out of curiosity, how long have you been here, Demitri? You don't look old enough to have been there that long." A wink. The possibility that time might not pass normally has occurred to him, but he's curious to see if he can get any actual confirmation of that. Or not.

"Don't suppose you could maybe take me to say 'hi' to your friends. Nothing crazy. No big asks. Just a formal introduction."
