I heard that too, but I don't know any details. [He sighs.] I guess if they already know something's going on, all we can do is try and be prepared for anything.
[Which fucking sucks, but like. They've been helpless at the worst times for weeks, so it's not like this is new.]
That's true. I imagine they would've intervened already, if they did know.
[Granted, it could also be, like, extra bad news for them that no one has... but if they go down that path then he's really going to lose his mind stressing and he can't let himself get that distracted.]
It's not about the mood, it's just—try not to worry about the things you can't control. So far we're getting good news. There's more to do, and I'm sure we'll know more when the time comes.
But right now you're just working yourself up, and that's not going to help.

I just hope we didn't make too much of a scene.

Uhh, yeah, maybe all of the Reapers were busy... folding their laundry...

Nahida and the others didn't seem too worried, so I'll trust them. But still...
[He's just kind of buzzing anxiously, really. He won't rest until everything is said and done.]

But I don't know how much attention the Reapers pay outside of when they have to be watching us for a mission or something.

Right, maybe. We're just really grasping at straws here to even understand the position we're in.

Right. Sorry, I don't mean to bring down the mood. I really am glad to see them again.
[He's just so afraid of something going wrong at the last minute.]

But it's not like she's wrong, so he just nods.]
Yes... you're right. It's easier to talk to them now, so hopefully they'll be able to let us know as soon as there's something else we can do.

So. Good to see some old friends, and good to get some indirect answers, too.
