CAPTIVE GAME: LiliS & Eichi
[ You're in a room with no doors or windows, about the size of a living room. Depending on how many of you are around, it might feel a little cramped. The walls and ceiling are draped with fabrics, the floor covered in colorful rugs and piles of sitting cushions, but you can see the dirt ground and untreated wood walls peeking through in places. There are three or so oil lamps to light the space, each placed on a stump-like round little table that isn't big enough to hold much else. It's kind of cozy, but...
Most of the cushions are embroidered with an array of colors, but there's one pillow in particular, set aside from the rest, that's one solid color – Iris's position color. ]

A relieved expression and an attempt at a smile are the best she can offer, in the moment. ]

Re: 2/2
What happened here, Amaranth? Why did that man shoot Cori-san?
Re: 2/2
[ a pause; then, a little softer- ]
He was frightened. So frightened that he wouldn't allow any to reassure him. And so he did what cowards do: he invented a source for his fear, and lashed out at it. Coriander was helping undo his bonds, and so he was nearest.
Re: 2/2
That really was foolish.
Re: 2/2
But I suppose that can happen, with men—even ones not yet out of their youth.
[ then, eyes lowering ]
It need not have happened, but I certainly owe BARiTONES an explanation when this is all over.
Re: 2/2
Men really are like that, aren't they...
I'll go talk to BARiTONES as well, I think. It might be easier if it's someone who wasn't directly involved in the incident.
Re: 2/2
[ though that's not a "no" ]
BARiTONES has been hurt so many times; unlike LiliS, their troubles have not eased.
And now, because of all this, we've wound up fulfilling that pattern once again.
