[ hope hasn't had to do it for thirteen!! but, like, mood. he's visibly exhausted from those last twenty minutes of trial, voice strained and hoarse from yelling with sieghart's channeled rage. ]

The first of many that will likely be long, painful ones.

[battling]

Wasn't lookin' forward to repeats of these. Never know what the next week is gonna bring.

[highestheim]

That's just life in general, isn't it?

[ but no, he gets it. ]

...I'm trying not to think about what will happen tomorrow.

[battling]

Disappointment?

[ There's a little flash of some kind of emotion, before he moves on. ]

If only that kept it from happening.

[highestheim]

. . .

Was he ever like this in the daycare?

[battling]

Murderous?

No.

[highestheim]

Maybe...maybe his hostage was directly threatened. If he didn't comply, they'd be killed.

[battling]

We're all under that threat, ain't we? Be entertaining or die.

Are you gonna talk to him? He did say he'd explain.

[highestheim]

...later tonight, maybe. I'll let other people have their chance to speak with him first.

[ his shoulders slump a little. ]

[battling]

[Nods.]

Places like this, better to get all the information we can, while we can.
