[Really really. He doesn't push it beyond that though because he doesn't suspect anything. Clarke and Bellamy haven't told him a ton about the ark or about their world so he doesn't think Octavia's withholding anything. Instead, he's focusing on everything else.]
Pretty sure that's part of the big brother code. [There's a beat, and a slight shift in his tone following.] Mine used to do the same before I started learning faster than he did. But he still taught me a few things.
[Thank you, Tadashi. But he'll brush past that, too, because Samhain.] Anyway, Samhain. It's this big thing that happens in October every year, supposedly. I was here for it last year but everybody who's been here longer said it happened the year before, too. It's basically an excuse to have a giant party and people get dressed up and wear masks and it's dancing and drinking and whatever. It's also the Black Shuck's holiday. He's like the embodiment of Death here. People stop fighting and wear masks in order to avoid Shuck who's busy wandering around looking for spirits who've escaped death. The world changes around then...think of it like a game of hide and seek where you mingle with everybody and you can't hurt anybody else because he'll come after you. It's sort of like that. You pay your respects to what he wants and you don't go against it no matter what.
