...I awoke on Friday morning, and she had left her dagger with me. I rolled over too quickly for any of you all in the library to see it. [ so, no. he didn't find out until friday, either. ] But, even if I hadn't, I would've realized the moment we found that Sora was the one who was killed.
Damn, what the hell did you do to piss her off so badly?
[ lightheartedly... or, well, as lighthearted as you can be when you're talking about a lady who would have murdered you if it wasn't for your pocket snake. ]
Me? [ he... blinks....thinks about it.... what COULD he have said.... ] Well. I suppose - anything, really. I can't say it's the first time an insane person has attempted to murder me because of something or other, and I highly doubt it will be the last.
At any rate. She threatened Throné a few weeks ago, and attempted to manipulate me into telling her information with a curse - we have been on our guard ever since.
That surface of hers was but a facade, and one I saw through rather quickly. Her pithy attempts at manipulation failed, and so did her plan to kill us. I would have sooner spat out my own vertebrae than allowed Throné to be voted for, Saturday.
[ with that, ichiban allows himself to relax in his seat, sitting back and letting the tension he'd been holding in his shoulders drop. ]
For what it's worth, I feel the same way. I mean, not that I knew until Necchan told me yesterday after everything wrapped up, but... yeah. Intending to kill isn't the same as having to.
[ he smiles a little, dipping his head in an unspoken thanks - relaxing a little bit on his end, too. it is appreciated. ]
...And especially considering that she was not in an emotional state - that Throné was of a perfectly sound mind, as well. I think many people came to the conclusion that it was in self defense, though not so solidly. If you happen to hear of people lamenting or talking about the fact that one got away, it is not so bad to remind them of that theory.
[ since after all, it was the truth ]
That video plain as day showed her fleeing. I imagine if she could have simply knocked Sora out and left her there, she would have; it was truly a moment of have to, indeed.
Yeah. There are always two sides to a story... and unfortunately for us, there's only ever a reward for finding the "bad guy." [ he curses a little under his breath. ] As if the world ever really operates on a black-and-white basis, without any room for the gray areas in between 'em.

[ he meets temenos's gaze with an unfaltering one of his own. ]
I know you don't need me to tell you, but you're real lucky to have her in your corner.
no subject
I am? [ not the answer he's expecting but not complaining. ] I certainly don't disagree.

Can I?

Were you even awake on Thursday, or did you have to hear it from Necchan after the fact?

Now I understand why Necchan wasn't her biggest fan.

Dude, do you even realize how sick you just sounded?
no subject
... Sick...?
[ he reaches up and like, touches his own forehead??? like he has a fever ]
no subject
No, like— it was really damn cool. Mad respect.
no subject
oh. temenos blinks - and then huffs, a little bit, expression cracking into a smile. ]
Well. I'd hardly be very good as an inquisitor if I didn't know my way around a phrase or two.
[ he's a drama ho he appreciates the compliment ] But, thank you.
