Endure more grapefruit to the eye, I imagine. [ Dry commentary is dry. ]
It isn't a hypothetical expiration date, it is a known one. Locus will return to our world once the job here is complete. Taylor will not ask him to remain. That is an integral part of the equation. Even if that does not occur-
Sombra has a hold on Locus and when, not if, she chooses to leave? He may likely follow. Because the situation is stable and the Legion is firmly on the side of good, Taylor cannot do the same. Of course the idea of enjoying what he has while he has it has not occurred because again, he is an idiot.
That's an inevitability. [That is one audible smirk.]
The last time I talked to Locus, he was thinking about staying here. When did that change?
[He's quiet for a moment at that development. For as savvy as he can be, Locus is still a goddamn idiot sometimes.] Locus has a habit of falling in with brightly colored manipulators. When push comes to shove, I'll take care of Sombra.
[He likes Land Shark. He considers her to be a friend. But he also has priorities.]
Would he be more open to that idea coming from you or me?
We are of course ignoring the complicated emotions surrounding Sombra in this equation entirely because- to paraphrase- ain't nobody got time fo' dat.
[ He tries, does Delta, he truly does. ]
If you think I have not been throwing that idea at him from every potential angle every hour I have been plugged in, I am disappointed in you. He has shown no sign of changing course and at this point likely has no desire to listen to further suggestions on your part. His mind is, for the moment, made up.
Were it not for Emu's egg that required minding, I would not be in his habitat. I do not recall being this frustrated with him since my initial implantation.
And that's why I said I'd handle her. [How that encounter goes will depend entirely on Sombra.]
[That update gets a frustrated sigh. Great.] It's frustrating because the pieces are all in place and the only thing stopping him is his refusal to pull his head out of his ass.
Were it not for the content of his Legionnaire Legacy, this would go differently. The reminder of all his past failed relationships bothers him more than he shows.
[ Which is vexing for so many reasons. ]
Yes, he is. Or at the very least I will ensure he does. An implied dibs is still a dibs, according to the protocol.
