[ weh. he immediately scoots over to make a little bit of room if she wants to join him - letting her take up as much or as little space as she wants.

and after a long moment, he says, quietly: ] ...I really thought you were onto something, with the paint. [ :( ]

[ she sits down...

and she takes a few slow, deliberate breaths... ]

So did I.

... So was it really not him? We don't know what happened to Death...

... I don't... know. I'm not really that good at this kind of stuff, but...

[ it feels bad to say he was acting suspicious but also. he was being really suspicious ]

...I thought maybe it could be his monster power, but we know so little about how they work. And if the things that impacted others last week were the powers of people's monsters, then... there must be a big gap between what they can and can't do. So...

[ oogh. it's times like these he wishes the ringbearer chosen was here. the reminder - we don't know what happened to death - makes his heart hurt, and he nods. ]

...I... really wanted to find out what happened. Nine hours went by so quickly.

If he's innocent, then he has no business acting so suspicious all of the time...!

[ he was being REALLY SUSPICIOUS!! ]

... We really don't have enough information. If we knew more about those powers...

[ real ]

It's... really risky of him. I don't know why, either.... [ but he did at least cooperate with rondo which was like, more than it seemed like he was going to get?? but also.

frowning down at his hands, there's also: ] And - if he's not, then... after seeing what happened to Sir Boothill, that's really scary, too...

...I was trying to think about what kind of monsters there could be, and... I've seen monsters like that before, like three headed asps, but... it's still a little different. And...we don't know who his partner is, either...

... Someone could still be possessed, and something terrible may yet happen to them, whether it's Karma or someone else...

[ and a slow nod... ]

I wonder if that partner has been affected...

[ yeah.... yeah.... ]

I do too. [ oogh. ] We will have to be very watchful, though... I don't know what will come, tomorrow, truthfully. The overseers said a ritual must now be completed.

[ ... ]

I don't - regret catching him, but it feels awful to think of it as a victory. I wish it hadn't had to happen in the first place, no matter how wishful that feels.

... I feel the same.

There has to be another way... Why is there so little time?
