I was worried that it was going to be Netzach's team again.

[A DOUBLE KILL...]

We would have had an interesting night at the warehouse if it was.

[dendroculi]

"Interesting" is... one way to describe it.

[...]

I wonder why Netzach got sick again.

[foxicide]

[he shrugs,]

I wouldn't know. I was just waiting for everything to end.

[dendroculi]

Now that it's over... How are you feeling?

[foxicide]

[at that, he gives her an amused look,]

...Does it really matter?

[dendroculi]

Yes, it does. Your feelings matter to me, oppa.

[foxicide]

[he sighs at that,]

I should have never told you to call me that.

[. . .]

I'm ready for all of this to be over.

[dendroculi]

Do you want me to stop?

[because she will, if he does.]

...are you satisfied with how things are turning out?

[foxicide]

[he gives a shrug like a 'do what you like' gesture, which is why nahida will never learn not to call him oppa damb,]

No. I thought I knew what would happen yesterday. We were all convinced that the trial would be straight forward.

[he pinches the bridge of his nose]

Just voting blindly wasn't enough. It should have been definite... and now we're all in this mess.

[dendroculi]

[rANG. well, "i should have never told you to call me that" makes it seem like he doesn't like it, so... maybe she'll cool it for now.]

...we really overcomplicated things today, didn't we?

[foxicide]

[STOP MAYBE HE LIKES HEARING IT but he's also like damb adding human gestures to this actually fcked me up bc it's giving me feelings,]

Well, it's not like I helped at all. [he really just stood there and held rin's hand] And what did Shenhe say -- I took advantage of her desire to defend me?

[there is something bitter in his voice there, though it smooths out]

I wish it was more obvious. Then I would have been spared from everyone asking why.

[dendroculi]

...

[she looks up at him at that, her expression complicated.]

...what have you been telling people who have asked so far?

[foxicide]

[he looks back at her, expression somewhat blank, then]

That if I wasn't going to say anything then, then I'm not doing it now. That was for the people that annoyed me. And that Rin was not a random choice, and he was killed for a reason -- for those I thought deserved to know the truth.

[dendroculi]

[not a random choice...?

her ears droop a little at that. she doesn't understand. she doesn't understand at all, and her frustration with that is more than a little obvious on her face.]

[foxicide]

We won't leave you in suspense.

[even though he absolutely will for everyone else,]

Once tomorrow's over, you might get to learn more.

[dendroculi]

[she is in suspense rIGHT NOW!!!!



but she nods.]

...tomorrow, then. [...] But for now... would you prefer that I leave you be? Or is it okay if I stay with you for a little longer?

[foxicide]

[...]

You can do what you like.

Make sure not to stay too long though, or we'll end up having to talk to your very long line of babysitters.

[HE SAW IT DURING TRIAL]

[dendroculi]

They're not my babysitters...

[she is staying here, though.]

[foxicide]

They nag at you every time you do anything.

[sounds like a babysitter to him!!]

[dendroculi]

If they were babysitters I would listen to them.

[but she



doesn't always.]

[foxicide]

[



he looks at her like 'jiiiii']

No you wouldn't.

[changes that to never]

[dendroculi]

If I acknowledged them as my babysitters I would.

[smiling!!]

[foxicide]

Which you'll never do.

[he feels like he knows the tricks...]

[dendroculi]

Hmm... not necessarily never, but here it's unlikely.

[foxicide]

You know, oppa can be another word for babysitter.

[don't lie]
