week 2 post trial

[greatdeduction]

[Here he is, leaning against a wall somewhere, ice pack to his head - he's got his eyes closed even as Van Zieks approaches, his frown deepening. Irene is in crow form, hiding her face under her wing.]

Not quite a nice sight to greet me upon awakening, really...

[winebar]

[Irene cute.]

Did that fall knock some sense into you?
[Finally you acknowledge we are not friends.]

[greatdeduction]

No, but it did give me this rather nice gift of a pounding headache.

[He opens his eyes blearily to look at Van Zieks.]

So. You all happened upon the truth, didn't you?

[winebar]

By what feels like pure chance. And we don't even know who he killed, nor who the other killer or killers are.

[greatdeduction]

...I'm supposing he's not forthcoming with answers, is he? And the other killers...now they'll get their unjust rewards.

[winebar]

As was the case before. I do not know if those who are going to visit him will find more answers.

[greatdeduction]

...Are you planning on visiting him, yourself?

[winebar]

I'm not.

[greatdeduction]

Why not? You could attempt to get information.

[winebar]

I do not feel it is my place. And I...

[He looks away.]

That is all.

[greatdeduction]

...

[Staring at him.]

And you...what?

[winebar]

Nothing.

[greatdeduction]

....

Spit it out, my man. My head throbs, and you are certainly not going to help it.

[winebar]

You are just going to look at me in that aggravating way of yours if I do.

[greatdeduction]

...

[Putting a hand over his eyes.]

Go on, say it. I won't look at you.

[winebar]

... After what happened with Qi Rong, part of me worried one of those held captive is going to suffer worse. And if I see them that night...

[The Reaper....]

[greatdeduction]

...


[Look, it may be because he's loopy as hell from the concussion, but.]

[He's just lowering his hand to just toddle over and hug the man, lightly.]

[winebar]

[Oh my god.]

What are you doing!?

[greatdeduction]

Your soft heart will be the death of you.

[He says, almost a little sullen.]

But I can't say that having a heart at all is a bad thing. Don't worry. Just...don't worry.

[winebar]

[Scoffs.]

Your saying that is ridiculous, I was scolded twice today for being mean to others.

[greatdeduction]

...What?

[Looking up like >:O!!]

Who were you mean to? Why?

[winebar]

Mr Rin Okumura and Spike.

[greatdeduction]

...You didn't say why.

[winebar]

I hardly think it matters now.

[greatdeduction]

Did you at least make it up to them? Apologize?
