[Alivian eyes Logan's work with the fish, but doesn't stop him. Unless something goes wrong, he's not about to interfere right now.]
I'm the boss of the Control Bureau back home. Dealing with placements of the people and newcomers alike. We work with them to give them homes that fit with their needs and wants, work, and, optionally, partners for Dynamics, and other things. We even have a registry of people who have volunteered to be temporary partners for those without one but need it. Commands are as necessary as food and drink for us, and they're almost as restorative as sleep.
...I've even used the registry myself, but my request was soundly rejected on all fronts due to the risks of being near me. I've been using medicine, instead, since.
[Alivian's expression is... decidedly blank - tone, too. No anger, no sorrow - just the simple facts.]
