[He hadn't. He was too defensive about it. It completely gave him away and he didn't care if Baz believed him.]
It's not the location, really. We've been kidnapped, Baz. Even in the best of circumstances, that's a bit unnerving.
[This wasn't Simon's first foray into abductions, after all. The Humdrum summoning Simon and Penny out of nowhere had been bad. Bad enough that, upon Simon's arrival here, his first concern had been that the Humdrum was back; panic, real and overwhelming while he scrambled to figure out where in the good name of fuck he was. It passed, of course. But he wasn't unaccustomed to operating on half-cocked plans, either. Sometimes, he just had to make it up as he went along, and hope it all worked out in the end.
This wasn't so different when it came down to it.]
What are we going to do? [Simon asked quietly, subdued; it made him sound surprisingly vulnerable.] It doesn't seem like we can do anything, does it?
