[He nods, grateful for how straightforwardly he said that. It makes it a little easier for him, the acknowledgement that he's just here to be nearby even if Caleb is in an ugly mood.
He's sitting outside on a bench or something, probably.]
[That was a wholeass miserable trial from start to finish, dismal from the get-go and just getting worse and more stressful and more painful to watch.
It's terrible, when this is as far as they can go to achieve any form of justice. It falls flat - it leaves even more to be desired than usual. And the dead are still dead, at the end of it all.]
Will you try to speak with him? ...If not, would you like to hear if I learn anything?
[It'd be the same for him. He was fond of Mollymauk, but Mollymauk wasn't his family, and he's fully aware that that's the only reason he had any ounce of self-control. On a sigh, he glances out toward the campus.]
...I wish that they were able to speak with us more openly. But I'm sure they wish for it even more.

You may.

Thank you.
[A beat; once again-] We don't have to speak, if you don't wish to. But if you have anything that you'd like heard, I would be willing to listen.
[That wholeass mess probably stirred up Many Thoughts, after all.]

[He doesn't mind. The gesture is a little awkward, but the awkwardness sort of puts him at ease.]
He needed to die. But I don't derive any satisfaction from it.

I am not sentimental about these things. I put my hands today in my friend's emptied skull. Even if it is ugly I prefer to hear it.
no subject
I'll let you know. Though I don't know if he's in much of a state to talk...
[@ god please let them get Some Information or he will personally perish.]
...We have Byleth-dono to turn to for potential answers now, as well. Though I doubt we'll get any more from her than from him.

I just felt there was something, that it was probably her. Nothing to go on, nothing worth saying, but. . .
no subject
I had some suspicions as well. It isn't as surprising as Rupert himself was...
no subject
But I think she has been suffering. So I don't know why. . .
[He shakes his head.]
I'm a hypocrite, my empathy has its limits. If she had killed Mollymauk I would have killed her where she stood. Even so.
