[ hi yves. idk where they are. ]

It's still a bit odd to not have to do trial.

[noirges]

I'm torn between thinking it's kinda nice and wishing I could help.

[ honestly, but also glancing over ]

... are you okay? I know you and Uruha are close.

[rippled]

I will see him tomorrow, I suppose.

[ not that they wanted to see him so soon. but what else can they say? ]

[noirges]

[ frowns ]

Mm...

[ or the day after since apparently jan is tabling ]

I'm still sorry that you have to experience it... The knowledge that a friend got hurt is always still hard to sit with.

[rippled]

It is just difficult to imagine people in that situation. Knowing that as they see everyone else asleep, that they have to keep going.

[ that their time is, most likely, up. ]

[noirges]

[ . . . ]

Was that how it was for you?

[rippled]

... don't worry about me.

As soon as I realized I was still up, I went out looking for whoever was trying to kill me.

[ it works out that they were second in line because saber icly had to travel to the train since they curfewed in the neighborhood. ]

[noirges]

Ah, right... You weren't with anyone...

[ you really did that i'm shaking ]

... Mm. Monsieur Lucas and I were together, so I realized everyone else was falling asleep and when I looked for him... he was already leaving.

[rippled]

Did you follow after him?

[ they are thinking of the execution and how lucas really did not seem to want to go after him. ]

[noirges]

I tried to set a trap to even the playing field... I normally had backup fighting him before, so I knew I needed every advantage I could. So I created a slippery surface and set the ballpit on fire so he'd fall into it...

[ a beat ]

But he tore off the hand that was holding the apple I needed and it fell in the ballpit so I needed to go down there anyway...

[rippled]

I see... well, it was a smart idea, even if it did not work out.

I just challenged him and we fought, and he got me while I was being mauled by lions.

[ lucas seeing his chance and going for it because he still had more killing to accomplish. ]

[noirges]

[ a

ah ]

... I'm sorry, Saber, that's still... a lot.

[rippled]

It's fine. I accepted my potential fate the moment I chose to fight instead of run.

[ and it's not the worst way they have died. ]

[noirges]

[ he nods in understanding ]

... I'm sure you put up the best fight you could, and I hope you get your rematch soon enough.
