[it's crying time then because whew. WHEW. he is full of wound-up feelings after hours of being in a restricted space with about 40 people trying to solve murders after finding a body and then accidentally pointing out a murderer. the only way this weekend gets worse is if he's executioner.
but he's also just- wrapping his arms around karlach like he's trying to reassure her too, at the same time.]
[he better not be executioner or she'll flip her last shit
she keeps him close for a while. you'd think someone who is as loud as she is would cry louder, but she doesn't. it's just miserable little hiccups, voice breaks. and it peters out slow, until she's just flopped against the wall, eyes closed.
Um- when you've... done things you normally wouldn't have wanted to. [...] I told you about me. My memories. Sometimes some of them are more- present than others, I think, and I'm less like... I normally am.
[idk man special dragon eyes- i think sometimes dragons are supposed to be really into justice??]
It's possible for it to be, I think...? It showed me who placed each vote... so if we ever were worried about how the votes were going to turn out, I could see. Um, and I would know who lied, if we had to organize them like people mentioned and it went wrong.

and after a while, she croaks:]
... It'll be alright.
no subject
I... I know. I know this is what we had to do...
[but that doesn't make it feel better. any of it.]
no subject
Doesn't make it feel good. [just says the brackets out loud] He'd be miserable if we kept him like this. He's trapped.
no subject
He was kind to me when I spoke with him.
no subject
He wanted to look after the kids here. That's not what that was.
no subject
[a couple moments of silence, before-]
It feels terrible, after. When you realize-- what's happened.
no subject
[it was devastating! yay!]
What does?
no subject
[cool HATE THAT FOR HIM. god.]
Um- when you've... done things you normally wouldn't have wanted to. [...] I told you about me. My memories. Sometimes some of them are more- present than others, I think, and I'm less like... I normally am.
no subject
Yeah. [...] That happen a lot?
no subject
[consequences of his body rejecting his memories.]
But, um, not here, so far.
no subject
If it happens and I don't see it, will you tell me about it?
no subject
[not all his memories are from good people.]
no subject
no subject
[because unfortunately he cannot guarantee he'll know!]
O-oh, um. Speaking of telling you things... I didn't know what I could do, before, but after today... I know what it is.
no subject
Oh yeah? What's that.
no subject
no subject
... Huh. [...] Was it useful?
no subject
It's possible for it to be, I think...? It showed me who placed each vote... so if we ever were worried about how the votes were going to turn out, I could see. Um, and I would know who lied, if we had to organize them like people mentioned and it went wrong.
no subject
interesting, though. she hums.]
Good to know. Maybe you ought to put up a note or something that says you're watching the votes. Might make people behave themselves.
no subject
[hmm.]
Maybe... maybe I'll ask if that would be safe.
no subject
[she presses a kiss to the side of his head.]
... Keep yourself safe for me.
no subject
[he's caught off-guard by that kiss, blinking, before he smiles at it.]
...I- I will. I'll try to do what I can, if you will.
