[ alright, well, he winces a little at that, because it's true - he doesn't know much about elias, not really, and the look in his eyes is enough to stopper any objection. martin might be slightly inexperienced here, but he's fully aware that the ceaseless is elias's turf, not his own. ]

Well... fine. I'm a bit sick of people looking at me, anyway. [ and there's sincerity in the way he speaks. ] It's - I can't keep doing what I'm doing. And if I wait much longer, I don't know that I'll ever be able to get out at all. I don't want to spend the rest of my life comfortable but miserable.

[ There's a moment of silence before Elias nods, seemingly satisfied with the answer. ]

There's misery waiting for you out here that you can't yet imagine, but it's nothing that can't be endured.

[ He gets up from the desk and opens a cabinet against the wall, starting to look through the papers and boxes for something. ]

Any more thoughts on how you'll get out? And what it is you think you'll do once it's done?

I've got- well, a friend of the family, she's the quartermaster of another, um, enterprise. Was thinking about seeing if I could buy my way on, really. [ it's a little embarrassing, but he doesn't care. ] I should have access to coin enough to make my inexperience palatable while I find my way.
