[Eva nods, though there's a bit of a blink at the fact he feels the need to imply it's a non-romantic partnership, but as soon as it comes it's gone, chalked up to what the non-translated word was.]

Sure. Will do.

[Eva settles back as she listens, mentally making notes on what's said verse what isn't- or what seems implied at least.

She can't say she likes it. But still, she's talking to a living, breathing person who's, if she's understanding the context right, a Blade. She can't say she can see any visible difference between one a human.] I see. Sounds like 'Blades' drew the short stick of it, you know? Still, at least Blades don't recall abusive drivers, which isn't to say that treatment is right. Far from it. It's a living being in the care of another and that someone could just do that is criminal.

[Her hands fist. Even now, a decade removed from the worst of what Erin'd gone through, Eva has some very strong feelings about the whole 'Duty of Care' and what it means.] Yet what you've told me implies that even if Blades had spoken out, they wouldn't be listened to. I don't know what changed that made it so they're no longer basically slaves, but I'm glad it happened.

Even if the cost was horrific. [An exhale.] You're a Blade and your partner is a driver? A human? They treat you right, yes?

[She has Very Strong Feelings about this, yep.]
