The Last Supper - avante en garde

[idolpro]

[ The elevator lets you out into a private room: from the decor, it is doubtlessly an enclave of the restaurant you saw earlier on screen.

Your phones have filled with a rather sizable rule list. ]

[ruffled!]

...Did you get my message?

[knightceties]

Your message?

[checks his phone]

Ehhh... I've been in the tower the whole time, so I don't think so...

[speakssoftly]

...Oh, that makes sense. It was just me trying to tell you I got away unharmed, so don't worry about it.

[knightceties]

[checking Kirin over for injuries!1]

Did you make it to the library?

[speakssoftly]

[he is legitimately unharmed! just kinda dead inside.]

I did. Ran the whole way there.

[knightceties]

Speedy, huh... Well, that's good.

[speakssoftly]

Yeah, it looks like it's my strong suit in that form. That and being sharp.

[knightceties]

Haha. That's always helpful.

[speakssoftly]

Yeah.

...I watched my first memory, at the library.

[knightceties]

What? Now?

[are you trying to make Ace feel even WORSE]

[speakssoftly]

[no that's the opposite of his goal but it sure could look like it.]

I was looking for something to take my mind off this.

[and he. sure succeeded at that.]

...To put it simply, I killed a lot of people and saw some truly awful things in that memory, so... don't worry too much about protecting me from things like that.

[knightceties]

Ehhh... But you feel bad about it, right?

[speakssoftly]

About killing them? Not even a little.

[knightceties]

Haha! Well, that's probably the best way to do it.

[speakssoftly]

[cool his read of Ace wasn't off. he could point out they deserved it, but that would be counter to his point. and he hadn't felt bad about it before he found that out, either, at least within the memory.]

Probably.

[knightceties]

Well... Even so, we wouldn't want to put you in that kind of position here just yet.

[speakssoftly]

That's reasonable, and not even a sentiment I really intend to argue with. Cardigan seems to have it well in hand. Just... in case.

[knightceties]

Yes, yes, we'll keep you in mind.

[vetoed!1]

[speakssoftly]

All right.

[yeah he can tell but frankly that's fine until it actually comes up]
