[That outburst is honestly the most Foggy thing about her, and though he can't think of them as the same person, not even close-

Matt stops her just before she brushes past him, an open hand in front of her shoulder without quite touching her.] No- wait.

[bestavocado]

[She's almost tempted to keep going, but she's not quite petty enough to turn down any potential offer of... whatever, just to spite him. She pauses.] What, Matt?

[echovocation]

[He sighs, withdrawing and pushing his glasses down just far enough to pinch the bridge of his nose before continuing.] You didn't deserve that. You're right, neither of us chose this situation. It's just... [REALLY fucking weird. And he still doesn't quite believe it.]

[bestavocado]

[Yeah. Really fucking weird would about sum it up. She sighs.] Do you want me to go? [Not that she wants to, really, but--this isn't easy on her, either. So.]

[echovocation]

Since when does Foggy Nelson do what I want? [It's a peace offering; he can't call her that but she- that's what she calls herself. That's what she believes.]

[bestavocado]

[It's a start, definitely. But also: oh god, Murdock, really?] Oh, please. Eighty percent of the stupidest things I've ever done were your idea. And I opened a law firm with you, didn't I? [Seriously, it's like he has an override switch on her better sense. Scary.]

[echovocation]

Stupidity is subjective. There's a sign with our names on it, isn't there? [Better than that little supply closet at Landman and Zack, anyway.

...That he shared with the Foggy he knows. Matt sobers a little.] I believe that you aren't lying. There's...something weird about this, but I believe that much.

[bestavocado]

There's a lot weird about this. Let's not sell it short.

[But, well. Hearing him say that is a relief, anyway, because she's not sure what she would have done if he'd gone on not believing her.] How long have you been... here?

[echovocation]

[He can deal with this. Just because she's not the person he wanted to see doesn't mean he gets to treat her like an enemy. ...unless she really does turn out to be a sleeper agent, but he doesn't think that's so.] A couple weeks. The ships have mostly been drifting. [Thus the clever name.] There are some people who've been trapped in this place for years.

[bestavocado]

Jesus. That's... [Kind of horrifying to think about? A lot horrifying?] Insane. [Although honestly, she has no idea where she would go if they could escape this, or how.]

[echovocation]

It's a good trap. The illusion of freedom. [Gestures around them with his cane before gripping it in front of himself again.] Seems like we have a choice of whether or not to stay with our captors, but we actually don't. People get complacent. "It could be worse." [Pick it up Foggy, your pass]
