[Well, on John’s head be it if he intends to make his betrayal public knowledge. Obviously Liem sees no issues with his sabotage of the Zenith cause, but he has to agree with the other man’s assessment; some people are probably going to have a problem with it, especially if Meridian does end up winning this contest.
More importantly for him, John seems sincere in his offer, which is enough for Liem to feel perfectly happy with helping him escape the ant tunnels alive. Although he is in a bit more of a grudge-holding mindframe at present, he’d already let go of any personal grudge he might have felt over his earlier brainwashing. He would much rather further Meridian’s chances during this trial than dig up old complaints about a man who is presently offering to help him.]
Ushered out? How do you propose we manage that?
[All the ants he’s encountered have seemed pretty set on making sure they stay in their custody. He’s also getting a little fidgety about their discussion, because he can hear the rhythmic thumping of giant ant feet approaching down one of the connecting tunnels, and he suspects they’ll need to hurry things along to avoid being interrupted.]
