week 2, saturday

[allyship]

[yo.]

... Should you really be out and about?

[rochalizo says, like a hypocrite]

[yueshen]

Should you really be out and about?

[ he says this so, so very mildly, and offers rochalizo a smile. actually, xie lian looks a little better than he did at trial! like he's been healed some. ]

After being in that place, I think I am enjoying time under the stars again. Fresh air is good for the soul, don't you think?

[allyship]

[good!!]

Indeed. People weren't meant to stay underground.

[yueshen]

[ you next :beegun:

he nods, to that - though, some of the smile does fade from his face at the thought - it is a reminder, of the mole people people who chose to stay behind. ]

...that is true.

[ xie lian sighs. ] It has been a terribly long week.

[allyship]

... For better or for worse, it's almost over.

[a beat]

And then it starts all over again.

[rochalizo is not exactly the most positive of people.]

[yueshen]

So it does.

[ over and over. ] Hopefully, next week will be slightly less gruesome.

[ on the contrary, xie lian is an optimist - but, he's not a total idiot, either, so, he doesn't sound entirely like he's convinced that's true. ]

I didn't think it would escalate so much - at least, not after last week.

[allyship]

... We don't even know why there were so many this time.

[yueshen]

Mm.

[ yeah. his thoughts, exactly. ]

...With the way Mr. Suigetsu spoke today, I wonder if he was coerced into doing it as Bertolt was at all.

[allyship]

... It's hard to say, without speaking to him further. He wasn't as remorseful, of course, but... there are those who simply don't see the need to paint themselves as sympathetic figures.

[yueshen]

Is it strange to believe that when he spoke of being framed, it felt the most genuine? Perhaps because he was so angry about it - and the juxtaposition of talking about it alongside his guilty confession.

I would like to talk to him, but I fear he won't have much to say. I was closer to Bertolt - Mr. Suigetsu and I have not talked often.

[allyship]

... I don't really see why he would bother to lie about that. And we have heard and seen whispers of people being up to things behind the scenes...

[he shrugs, with a light wince.]

I haven't spoken to him much either.

[yueshen]

Mm.

[ he starts digging around in his satchel for something. ] I suppose what Mr. Van Zieks said today, and... Akira's actions, too, towards the end - at least those secrets are those attempting to help solve things.

[allyship]

... Indeed. It's frustrating not to know exactly what's going on, but if they're at least assisting us, then...

[yueshen]

It is, isn't it?

[ a little huff of a laugh. ] It's hard to sit still in general. I suppose you would know, too...
