K is watching for that, for discomfort or impatience, but he's committed to at least finishing the cup of coffee. He sips at it, relaxes a bit.
"I did, but I got to keep my clothes on, and they left me alone the rest of the time." So he's pretty good with it. "I think I'm starting to catch my breath a bit."
Scott leans back against the counter and picks his cup back up to drink. His coffee in particular has cooled off a lot, but it's fine. "Being left alone for a while is good. Catching your breath is better. It's easier to navigate this place when you're not reeling."
Scott doesn't hesitate so much as he takes a moment to decide what words he wants to use, here. Because... this place isn't ideal, but also.
"My experience thus far is that it's a place where... on a small and personal scale a certain amount of order can be imposed on the broader chaos." Which is maybe odd, but. It's kind of what he has.
"Laws weren't exactly what I was talking about," says the man with a profound distrust of authority and government, but. "Not having to deal with total chaos here is... helpful."
"Old habit," he admits into his coffee. Cop. "It might be easier if the city itself weren't so committed to arbitrary order over more natural patterns."

"I didn't actually get recruited. I spent most of my time camping, and looking around the location. It wasn't terrible. You?"

"And I'm worried for what comes next after the calm."

"But we still had protocols to go by for day to day life. A lot of people felt the laws were pointless, but they were still the law for a reason."
