... Yeah. That's why I was pointing at her. Just seemed weird to me, but. [she sighs. ugh, gotta apologize to ichinose too.]
We healed Caleb up because of curfew, man, it's not like I can say shit. I told you before, I was scared to death someone was gonna go after him. You did what you did to protect yourself, I respect it.
... It's a work in progress. [she mutters.] I think. I think we'd be feeling like shit if we'd let someone get away again, but... you're right. Of all the people it could've been.
It's not beyond my world to raise the dead. So I can't see why it wouldn't be here, but. I wanna temper expectations, you know? If we build up too much hope that we can bring people back, it's gonna be fucking devastating if we can't.
... Caleb was talking about just playing along. And I think he's right. It's gonna be easier to strike if we get them to put their guard down.
[the mods like "shut the fuck up it's a million vouchers"]
Yeah. [she shoves her hands in her pockets. and winces just a bit. ow. she has punched a wall and a horse punched her in the last 24 hours, she is sore.] It's the only reason the three of us are split up, still.
[ He shrugs, it's not ideal to be separated, but also he has a hard time imagining Byleth losing a battle. Even after she'd survived losing her arm. ]
I trust Byleth's judgment. And while we might not be able to help each other once we're asleep, I'll keep an eye on Molly as long as I can, if it's any consolation.
Really? I wouldn't have known. [ He's annoying, but oh yeah, it's touch week so he gives her a pat on her non-injured shoulder, glancing over at the other arm. ] You should get that patched up, you know. We have enough heroes around here.

[ Even if it's not, he'll take it. ]
So, come tomorrow we'll be back to being pals?
no subject
I - yeah, sure. Up to you. [he can get a little smile too from her.]

... Before his expression grows more troubled. ]
But... about Rupert. Have you spoken to him?
no subject
[it's still in progress though wheeze]
no subject
[ He still looks a little sad though. ]
It's strange that we spent so much time fervently looking for someone to convict, and when we found someone it feels even worse.

It doesn't feel right for a lot of reasons.

[ He rubs his face. ]
Maybe we should start putting some energy into finding a way to... retrieve the people lost.

I doubt it'll be easy, but at least we're not putting all our eggs on the hope that the murders will stop.

no subject
You're not wrong. Just because it's possible, doesn't mean we'll be able to find a way to do it. As much as I'd like to be optimistic...
It's best to be careful and plan for the worst. So yeah, I think Caleb has a point too. We are gather information, slow as it may be.

Don't know if that's the case for you and yours.

[...] I appreciate it, man. He gets himself into trouble.
I'd offer the same for Dimitri but half the time he looks at me like he wants to run me through with his sword.
no subject
That's just his resting [ bitch ] face. He's not that violent, but he is hard to wrangle. I suspect he probably likes you though.
no subject
You think? [she's a little amused by this.]

Ugh. Quit that, I have a reputation I'm trying to uphold, man.

Not trying to be one. I'll have Otome look at it later, but she deserves a bit of a break. If anything I can just have Molly jam it back into place.
