But I'm telling you, we already fixed that. Or found our way out, at least, which is probably as close as we're ever going to get.
[Perhaps fortunately for Irvine, riling Zell tends to take a lot less effort than appearing more put together than he is would be. Especially when there's already plenty chipping away at his rather limited patience and the inevitable whirlwind is yet to be unleashed. It's frustration, this time, confusion as to why nothing makes sense and why Irvine remembers less than he does and irritation that wherever they are, whatever's happened, someone or something has made damn sure that finding a familiar face isn't the easy relief it should be.
His jaw clenches, fists curling inwards as he tries to make sense of this. There's one potential thing that would make this make sense except there's too much he doesn't know and he's not confident that the answers he'd get would help there at all.
It's worth a try. But he's already sure this won't be enough to explain it.]
How long have you been here? I know I woke up about half an hour ago so...
[So regardless, it's probably not long enough for this to be the answer even assuming Irvine hadn't got here first, which throws that theory completely out.]
