[ His own accent is softer, smoother. He came up on Echo, which had infrastructure and too many company men in their crisp suits. Had their clean little accents, too. Everybody picked up the cadence, just like the taxes. Like the uniform. These things stick with you.
Sitting pretty isn't getting him anything here. Gabe stands up slow, careful to keep the handcuffs tucked into the sleeve of his jacket. Worst comes to worse, he can use them as brass knuckles. They're only clicked around his left wrist, aren't holding him back or restricting his movement. Right now they're just an inconvenient question, one he'd rather bypass. So long as he's careful with how he moves, no one needs to know.
Beth sounds young. Doesn't move like she's wearing body armor, but you never can tell these days. People start training younger and younger, don't they? ]
Funny. I did, too. You're the first one I've run into, though.
