Oh, she asked me, you know? Just yesterday, she asked that if we were to locate Mr. Rondo's killer then I'd stop her if she felt too angry about it all.
Even today, I could see it in her eyes. And who would I be to let a loved one suffer so? Though I do have to say, I was aiming for something a bit more instantaneous. It was like my hand slipped a little at the last second. I would say I should've gone for breaking her neck, but we all know I couldn't win in a contest of strength against her.
Oh, true, true. And it at least did do the work of stopping her, which is what she asked of me. I would've been quite sad to watch her die, actually...
Granted... might've come at the cost of, you know, me being here in the flames, but oh well...
... Yeah. Though, it might have come to this anyway since you did kill Izutsumi.
[not the vague amorphous humanoid nervous energy. she doesn't know what to do with this, given the fact that he is not quite himself and soon to die, so she's just... going to ask about something else that's been worrying her.]
Daan, what did you do with the item you found on your trip this week?
The worst timing. [said like it could have been ribbing, on any other day. but she nods.] ... Thanks. If you put it aside, I'll pick it off your bag. I still don't know what we'll need to use it for, but I don't want to lose any more components if possible.
So we'll keep trying for Cliffgate. And we'll keep trying for you and everyone who's gone, too. If... there's some way to help you without relying on wishes or the cabinet, we'll try to find it.

He just seems to be hangin', peering at the sights of people roaming around, or maybe he's just consigned to look at fire. Dang. ]

Your wound?

I'll feel this one for sure.

Why did you try to stab her, anyway? You know how getting between Vin and Aqua went the last time.

[there's a complicated look on her face as she mulls that over for a second or three, before she shakes her head.]
Well, it's a good thing you failed. Her partner would've been scrambling to find a replacement if you hadn't, you know.

Guess one of you will have to come pick it off my bag. I'll put it aside if that'll make it easier for you all.
