[Untimely demise. It seems like everyone who died in that dream woke up worse for wear in some way. Some distant part of her wants to ask after the matter, but it's true that she shares in the exhaustion, and she doesn't have the energy to examine those circumstances from a broader perspective right now.

It's a little hard to tell whether he finds her actions impressive or foolish. She's leaning impressive, judging by the nickname, but the fatigue blanketing the connection obscures the nuances, and Cooper wasn't exactly the easiest to get a deeper look at even in the short time they were tethered.

She gives him the courtesy of answering more directly, at least, rather than maintaining the distant approach of her initial message. While the usual playful bob of her voice is subdued with sadness, there's still a casual easiness to the way she answers.] She pissed me off. I don't kneel for anyone.

[A beat.] Well, not like that, anyway.

[Don't worry, he doesn't expect or need someone patting his ass asking how he's doing. He'd prefer not to talk about it really if we're being honest.

Leaning on people is not his thing, and that's a problem that has and will bite him in the ass here.]

You got that right, sweetie. There's a time to kneel and it ain't for some power hungry leader. God or not.

[He agrees, 100%. Happy to kneel for pleasure, but a god? Or gods? Not his style.]
