Don't we all lead fascinating lives, hmm? [ As chipper as Sophie might sound about this she wouldn't be if it had happened to her, and she also knows it ] It was a little too much, though, not all of it so thrilling. [ Someone's miss judgey today? ] I've read better in a boring book.

Does this one happen a lot, then? Fake lives and now truth? Could have added a little dare in, make it more enjoyable. [ Bad idea, Sophie ] Or is that being saved for later? I guess a good mystery's something.

How about we do some sharing the old fashioned way? [ She likes you, she may give you a story or two. Real or one of her identities though is another question ]

[ There's a long silence, and a hint of a frown, a lot of silent contemplation rushing through Sophie's mind before she speaks. She's confused, and with good reason to be - she almost died. Or did she? She didn't know where she was, or how she'd gotten there, unless- ]

Well this is quite a joke. Although I can't tell if the bigger one is the fact that the door isn't locked, or is that another test? [ She's annoyed, and certainly sounds it. And for anyone wondering she's blaming Sterling for this, or Starke ]

You know it won't last long. [ Sophie gives a small tap at her ear, and a little smile. They're listening (or so she thinks) ] Or have you forgotten? [ Although even she doubted that, given that Starke had just tried to kill her. She's not going to worry, or at least not show it. Nate'll show up, all she has to do is wait for his word ]

And nice trick on [ there's a small hand gesture ] everything. Very convincing with this... internet thing [ Because she doesn't believe a word of it. She knows a hackers work. And a con man's ]
