I guess. [ Weakly, he smiles. ] Good thing we don't have to find out though, right?
[ Bob is certain he knows that Void well enough to know that asking was not in its nature. It cared little for his feelings let alone anyone else's; all it really wanted was to consume and drag everyone else down into the void with it. Selfish, really. But somewhat unsurprising that it hadn't asked.
Then again, he isn't entirely sure that what they had seen had been the Void. Was it something else taking on the form of a thing that terrified him? Or had the Void evolved somehow, shedding its need for him and the tether to his body? Thinking about it too long would only induce panic.
To his credit, he feels bad for lying. When Jack simply accepts it a mixture of relief and guilt flit across his face. ]
Yeah. I guess we should go deliver it. [ The lingering image of the Void(?) stalking towards them though remains fixed in his mind, drawing open the gaping loneliness in his heart and then quite suddenly he blurts out - ] Hey, uh. Maybe after that we can go get some food? On me. For saving me that is.
