"Despite what impression I may have given you all before, I'm not fucking bloodthirsty," he returns flatly. But then his tone is more dry when he adds, "I'm not opposed to the kidnapping, though. But- n-no, er."
He clears his throat a little as he turns the kettle off, finding mugs for them next. "Our next option, if we can't follow up on one source, is to go back and pursue a second. We're doing it rather backwards in this case, but since I'm hardly in a position to drive myself to, uh- Sweetwater MD, it said, right?"
