If you find anyone then let me know. I'd like to know how they've survived so far, or maybe they have another safe place to be? Maybe a second campfire?

[ a second campfire is not just a theory, but proven thanks to caleb telling her a while back. for as much as zarina would like to say that she's heard of people outside, that there must be other survivors out there... no need to reveal that to kate. it would lead to more questions. ]

And — I've actually never brought him up before to anyone, and no one's found out about him until you. [ lisa does, but kate doesn't need to know. ] It's nice to be able to finally talk to someone about him, haha.

changes my reply a little too since i can do better...

There's a few survivors out there that we haven't seen in any trial. I know of some of 'em. Tryin' to track one down in particular, actually.

[He's also the one who Kate has the highest suspect of Zarina seeing.]

Yeah, sugar? It's nice to hear you open up about your romance, honestly.

[ before she speaks — mouth open as though to say a word — lips close and form a smile once again. ]

Maybe someday I'll talk about him more, if he ever decides to be open about it. [ doubt of course. not with their situation. ] Who exactly are you looking for again, by the by?

[hopesong]

Lookin' for one Benedict Baker. I'm sure you've met him before? [Or, at least, heard of him. It's not like he's a campfire secret, after all.]

[curiously]

[ a look of surprise on her face, eyebrows raised. ]

I've seen some of his notes. [ thanks to her investigations, fortunately. ] Why, did you find something of his?

[hopesong]

[The look on her face, coupled with her assumptions... Maybe she is right in thinking that Zarina is sweet on him.]

Sure did. Besides that, don't you think it's a bit odd that we ain't seen him 'round? Well, I saw him when I first arrived, but after that.... Ain't seen him since. Only his notes.

[curiously]

[ "Well, I saw him when I first arrived" is a phrase that has zarina tilting her head to the side ever so slightly. so baker's been around, yet hardly seen. already she wonders if he's part of that other group of survivors that caleb tells her about.

does baker get dragged to trials? how does he have all these notes that learn more about the entity's realm scattered around as though he were freely roaming around?

or is he the man she's seen before? ]

It seems like he can travel the fog a different way. [ hmm. ] It always seems like he has something to hide away from the Entity to get this far. How he figures things out after what seems like several tries.

He's finding a way out like all of us.

[hopesong]

'Course he is. [The scoff Kate makes isn't one of contempt, but more amusement.] It's all any of us try to do, 'cause if we don't... [Well, it won't be pleasant, and Kate doesn't want it to happen if she can stop it.]

Either way, wish I could travel the fog like him. Seems handy, especially the part where he can escape the Entity's eye.
