He hauled on the chord one more time experimentally, testing its tension, trying to decide if it was more likely to be a defensive or a domestic installation and not finding strong evidence for either case. Instead, he tucked the toy he carried against his chest and drifted a little cautiously Cayde's way, keeping his distance because he pushed, "That's bad. Not a hole in you. You must be terrible, then."
