Well, they've got their own technology department too, but...my specialization is a little unique, so we were a good fit for each other when they needed me.

[Isaac's tone has been pretty high-strung the entire time, and it continues to be so here.]
...On that point, have you been here long, cousin? Don't suppose you have any ropes to show me?
[Jaika's already helped him out already, so he feels a little bad about asking for more help, but it's not like he doesn't intend to repay him for it...so it's probably fine.]
