Maybe we're lucky they don't.

[ She'd much rather certain captors DIDN'T talk to them after all, but. Well. It's weird when you begin thinking that traveling in space isn't the worst captivity. But it kind of is because she has kids and she still can't take care of them here. ]

Nah, we tried that once. Turns out you give a witch too much time and she goes a little crazy.

Lucky for our peace of mind, not really for anything else.

[ The lack of talking is a lack of clues, a lack of understanding, a lack of... hope, really. It's hard to see a way out when you can't even see which way you're looking. There's a pause. Chris is at a loss how to deal with all this. How Piper wants to deal with this. It isn't normal, even for them, and it isn't like they aren't still family. Yet... ]

Maybe you don't deserve time, but you do deserve your son here. I'm sorry.

Maybe. Depends on how you look at it.

[ It's a lack of something, but maybe they were just missing something right in front of their face. It seemed too easy like this, but maybe that was the whole point.

There's a definite pause in response at that part of the response, somewhat longer than his own. Since to her it's sons and the singular is another sign this is all wrong. Atroma must be having fun with this, but that's not something she tries to think about. It's not like alternates didn't happen-- but this was too close to home. Still, she swallows it back and responds. ]

You've done more for him than I'd say some people have, so it's not like you have anything to be sorry for. I don't want to hear it.

[ There. She's sure that's not something he can deny, from what little she's pieced but. It's important. ]

Trying to spin our perspective on it isn't really going to help what's happening.

[ They're locked out in the cold in a terrible situation with no idea of how to get out or otherwise change it. Lack of communication is lack of information. It frustrates him.

He doesn't know what to say to that part, since it's true, but also not what he meant. Wyatt's obvious. Anyone sane would want Wyatt here instead of Chris, no matter what universe. Well, maybe not Chris's own, personal-timeline Wyatt, but that's splitting hairs. ]

What's he like? Your Chris.

I just mean there's worse scenarios. At least they're being quiet and not bothering us otherwise. The opposite is being talked down to and forced to do something.

[ Which is to say, she kind of prefers the void of interaction to being turned into a cat again. Or having someone else all up in her head for someone else's fun. But she's not going to go all up in that.

Still, she can guess. But to her rather or not Chris is her son he's the same person in a lot of ways. Their demeanor, at least, regardless of who or what he is. It's just a different history and that's what she's going with. ]

Not much different. I don't think who your parents are changes who you are that much. They're not the one to make the decisions for you.

...Well, to an extent.
