What the hell was this fruitcake playing at? Was she honestly so STUPID and INSANE that she didn't realize how extremely hopeless, pointless, and downright ridiculous she sounded.
...the perfect cover.
He mulled this over. What was a better front than running around as the child playmate of an obviously delusional girl? If he pretended he thought he was playing a great game with her, well, first off, it wouldn't appear to anyone else that he was any great threat. He'd have a "big sister" figure to manipulate and any decision he made or action he took could be blamed upon this...lunatic.
Which was a mark against this whole plan. If he used this one as his cover, he would have to-shudder-spend time with her. That was not something he wanted, not in the least.
Still, after much thought, he decided it would be better in the long run to be thought of as "crazy Excel's playmate" than "that suspicious kid".
"I can join ACROSS?!" He cried, looking as excited as he could force himself. "But I'm just a kid! Surely only adults get to have important jobs in ACROSS!"
He beamed up at Excel. "What do I get to do in ACROSS?"
