If Rin (aka ~rin) wants to take their leave, Vi won't be the one to stop them. She's not going to be That Person today. But the pause is a little ...odd, but not odd enough to remark on.

This is the kind of thing she is finding that she likes helping with: it's not Killing Something, or any kind of crisis - at least not to her. She's oblivious so far to the urgent greediness seeping into Trench: maybe she's finally caught a small break. Maybe this month has Done Enough, and her patron has shielded her from the rest of it?

But she's suddenly thanked after that long pause, and oh, hey, that's a bit of a smirk on the no-longer-a-stranger's face? Cool, cool. She sends a post to DeerNet as she watches them go, and then seemingly stop again to speak with another Sleeper. Vi hoped that one's able to provide a ready answer, and more media than she had.
