Ah. Both of Firo's eyebrows rise on his forehead--that sort of plea bargain (he assumes it's a plea bargain) isn't unfamiliar to him. Rosen's situation sounds like it might be a little different from his own in that there weren't any actual crimes, which Firo supposes means Rosen got even more of a raw deal.
Somehow, that thought doesn't cheer Firo up at all.
He pauses when the conversation is redirected to his situation. "I guess they must've transferred me from Alcatraz..."
He frowns in concentration--why is he here? The whole point of Victor locking him up was so that Firo could keep an eye on Huey. Did he fail? Is that why he's here, so he can just rot away for the rest of his immortal life? Firo wouldn't put it past Victor.
Or maybe Huey got transferred and they moved Firo along with him. It's stupid that Firo doesn't know, whatever the reason, but there's no helping it. His mission is supposed to be secret, anyway, so there's no one he can ask for now.
He looks from the hallway to Rosen. "This isn't another cellblock on the island, is it? There's no way--it looks too different. And no offense, but you don't seem like you're enough of a pain to get sent there."
It's supposed to be the dead end for all the prisoners who cause too much trouble elsewhere, either through their own deeds (which accounts for the vast majority of the people Firo met), their high profile, or both. Firo's confident that Rosen's too physically weak (sorry, pal) for the reason to be the first one. Not compared to people like Ladd and Dragon.
