[He sighs, running a hand through his beard for a moment.]
[. . .] Whatever your reasoning - someone to cover for? Pride? Whatever it is, I've done worse. I won't look down on it. I'm worse, and I went after you because I wanted to stay alive, that's all.
[ she pauses, and her expressions turns more... puzzled? ]
I've gotten splinters like that before though, and usually the redness would have gone away after a day or less. It was weird that it was still like that all the way til today.
No, just... pay attention. [ ... ] I think you all need to drop the trying to get out of here. Um. In the way that we have been, I mean. Like how we've only been pointing out that we don't belong here and that they should send us home because it was a mistake. It's a dead end.
Mm. Just... you'll probably get more answers if you're not accusing the only people we can have proper conversations with of kidnapping us.
But like I said, you don't have to just... follow it all blindly. But something's happening and we-- you need to keep a more open mind about some things.
I will try to keep an open mind about things. I haven't been under the impression the Dorm Heads or the bear are responsible for kidnapping us.
[That's not the vibe he got on meeting either of them, but. . . it still felt like there was someone pulling strings. Anyway. There's a sigh, because - he can't help but notice the shift in her demeanor, the hesitations in her speech.]
I'm not a good guy, but I'm not heartless. If there is a way we can help you, it would be a good idea to let me know.
at the last thing he mentions though, she... pauses, her expression shifting to something a little surprised and then annoyed. ]
If you talk to anyone about speaking to me, don't let them bad mouth my friends. [ she mutters, ] Someone who came to talk to me was really rude about them. They didn't do anything, I'm the one who did it. They're not even here.
[ she will let people calling her awful for murder but she draws the line at people shit talking her canon besties ]
[. . . What the fuck. That actually does rub him the wrong way. Maybe being the worst person in a group of people he thinks pretty highly of makes this strike a nerve.]
That's uncalled for. Your friends did nothing wrong.
[. . .]
But also, while I understand it, it seems early to badmouth anyone, you included. You haven't told us a reason. And you were hurt, too.

I'll probably stay until my questions are answered, and then I'll go. So in that sense, you have a say in it.

What you guys were saying in trial was right! I just wanted to make sure there was enough of a wish for me, that's all.
no subject
What made you think any of this would help with that? We weren't given any reason to think so.

But it was a dumb idea, I guess.

I wasn't lying about the practicing thing. It's why I thought of it so fast, since it's something that was true.
no subject
[But her hand didn't match.]
What really happened to it?

That's a bit cruel, to give you the idea to do this and then cheat to have you caught.
no subject
[ ...
she lets out a frustrated sigh. ]
Just be careful. This place is weird.
no subject
Okay. I believe you. But I want to know more about what I have to be careful of.

[He does seem like he's trying to listen to her seriously.]
I've gotten that impression. So what should we do instead?
no subject
[ a pause ]
I don't mean blindly or anything. But you're... smart. So I think you'll do okay.

[ she just got on the golf cart because the idea of 40 people calling her evil at once sounded
terrible. ]
no subject
Do you think we will continue to see. . . killings motivated by something similar to what motivated you?
no subject
I think it depends on the people.
