I suppose if I were to give him a nickname... [ give him a moment to think about it. there aren't too many things that come up that seem appropriately derogatory enough for him.

rather, cleverly derogatory enough for him. there are the obvious out profane words but sabo is better than that (unfortunately). so, ultimately: ] I probably wouldn't. Nicknames are for people you're fond of, and I'm not fond of him at all.

[ he says with a smile. ...that is short-lived as he sobers up to think about their situation regarding what they can and cannot do. the time that they've been given verses the opportunities... ]

The problem with trying to fine the right loophole is that they require some kind of testing. Just something small—a confirmation that our logic would be sound before we carry it out in a larger scale.

[ sabo's duality of being fine to jump right into the deep end verses his pragmatism to know that he should at least be aware of what kind of things await for him at the bottom. the main thing, however, is simply that they do not hesitate with whatever it is. ]

Except our situation doesn't really allow us that luxury. Whatever we end up doing, we must do it without hesitation and without fear of the results.
