Apparently antagonizing him means she likes him. Stone can't help a bit of a grin. "Not so different from a Raksura, after all." He shakes his head. Back to business. "All right, so I try to make people stop and think, and you try to fix this game of yours. What happens to the rest of us, once it's over?"
"That will depend on the victor," ROSE says with a solemnity entirely due to fidelity of translation. "ROSE, Sol, myself - and some others - will be considerate or generous in our treatment of Travelers. Others - will reward you according to their particular idiom."
That's three who he'd lean towards to win, then. ... still, he has to ask: "What does considerate and generous mean, to you people? Does that mean getting sent back home, or something else?"
"It means when you all talk about what you want, we listen," ROSE says, tartly enough it can be assumed she's speaking on her own behalf. "We take your words into account, and not just our preconceptions about you."
"No need to get snappy. I've never been kidnapped by idea people before, and your friend there just said all questions are worth asking," Stone reminds her, keeping his expression and voice bland. "But thanks. That helps me understand. Anything else you two think I should know?" Because he's out of questions that he thinks will get answered, right now.
