Topher nods in approval. "Sounds like a plan," he agrees. Staying clear can be surprisingly easy, really, but it rather depends on whether you run around getting involved in, uh, current events. Big, Rift-y current events. Which he can easily see Daniel doing. So he'll probably have to face them at some point.

"You might want to, yanno, find a new place to live as well. Living in their building probably doesn't count as 'staying clear," he points out. Not an immediate concern, since Topher doesn't think they look into it that closely, but. It does put him in very close vicinity to them, which can be risky.
