[ Yuri nods. That's fair. ]

How was Rodya doing? ... I heard her tone change in the trial, so it must have been really serious.

[verminous]

Mm. She was pretty frustrated with how it all went at the end.

[he exhales a sigh, there, smoke going with it.]

Took her to the sim rooms, worked some of that out with her-- I won't say that I didn't need it too.

[applebough]

Because of what Rosamund said?

[ It seems like there are so many different reasons as to why everyone is frustrated or sad about this trial to her. ]

[verminous]

She wasn't a fan of all the tension and drama at the last minute. ...or Bradley getting voted for when he wanted to live.

[they don't see eye to eye on Why they're frustrated, exactly, because gregor still wanted rosamund to have her say if both were afflicted... but he can agree with her on a lot of it. it didn't have to be like that.]

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. ]

I usually expect things to get out of hand when the trial is about to be over. It keeps happening... But this one truly was... out there, more than usual. I hope Rodya will feel better soon.

[ ... ]

Also, thank you, Gregor. I saw how you tried to divide the people from me when I told Rosamund.

[verminous]

...don't have to thank me. I'd do the same for either of you.

[he was ready to run interference for rodya to do a little violence, before, so.]

[applebough]

... About what you told me earlier, how would you two be handling that? I wouldn't want you to go through something like... that again.

[ Having to cut down someone, or someone who appeared to look like them. ]

[verminous]

I-

[pausing. opening his mouth, closing it again.

the thought of cutting down yuri. the thought of someone else doing it, of watching her die. she's asking about his and rodya's promise but all he can think about is--]

...well, usually it's unintentional, but we've killed each other before. In a case like this, I could do it for her. We-- agreed we don't want to live with it.

[applebough]

[ Dante... your poor revival mechanic pain. ]

I see. I...

[ They're used to it. They must have watched each other die so many times. ]

... alright. If that happens, I'll do my best to not let anyone interfere.

[verminous]

Thanks, Yuri.

I'm- hoping it doesn't come to that. But if it starts looking like it's Rodya, or me, we'll take care of it.

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. ]

... If that happens during trial, I hope that whoever does the killing won't get voted for.

[verminous]

If it's Rodya, you can tell 'em that's not what I wanted.

[applebough]

I'll... do my best.

[ Otherwise she will lose both of them and she doesn't want that. Preferably, she wouldn't want it to happen in the first place. But sometimes the world is a bitch. ]
