[ That's an awful lot of text, and honestly, Midge is a little grateful for it. She's never happy when she's out of the loop and she's got a lot of catching up to do here. ]
I'm honestly at a loss for how someone burns water. You're definitely right: we're going to need someone to cut and clean, so let's have you there.
[ Is she thinking of making an assignment list? She absolutely is. Gotta love perfectionists. ]
Thanks for the advice. I've never liked letters over a lunch date at a deli, anyway. Can other people read these? Why shouldn't I trust everyone else?
Really? Because I just poured it in to a pot, put it on the stove and kind of forgot about it? That pot is ruined now. There you go, now you too can set the kitchen on fire, boiling water. But I'm more careful now, so. There's that? Just tell me when and where, and I'll be there.
[The next part is tricky, because there's no need to yank the paranoia up to eleven, but also, nothing in this place is even remotely safe. Quentin bites his lip for a while before he replies to the last part.]
Maybe? I don't know, but someone had their tablet hacked a while back, and there's no way to know for sure if anyone else might be reading everything you write. I mean, we did get these tablets from SOMEWHERE, right? Who's to say they didn't make sure we wouldn't say the wrong things?
Everything you wrote in the first paragraph gave me a heart attack.
I have no idea what half of what you said means, but I think I get the gist. We have a saying that's sort of like that where I'm from: 'loose lips sink ships.' Is that applicable?

It was a very small fire.
It's not not applicable? But. It's more that someone might be spying on us?

Who's spying on us?
I guess you can't answer that here. WHY would anyone want to spy, then?

Not everyone seems to want us to succeed? Because information is power? Because they're dicks? I have no idea. We can talk more when we meet.
