[ ... well. privacy is privacy. prim is allowed to tell him whatever she does or doesn't want. but the idea of there being consequences for keeping quiet, and what those consequences could be...
what can he judge her for, really? everything prim has done, he has done. they've already lamented how similar they are because they've lived the other's lives, in some small way. ]
[ It might be easier for her to simply share her true feelings. That... would be easier for so many people, she's certain of it. They're sincere, used to genuine words.
Primrose, however... no longer comfortably lives in that world and from what Yuri has said--
Well.
She leads the way to the room, closes the door behind Yuri once he's entered, and faces him directly. ]
Nah, it's fine. You take the weight of a life on your shoulders when you choose to take it. People who know that don't do it without a reason.
[ ... ] Oh-- I will ask though, did you know about her apparently identity before Fukuda told everyone in trial? Jack the Ripper, I think he called it?
[ he can't say he was..... entirely mad when that came out after the fact, but he's had a lot of thoughts about the weight people put on crimes done before coming here after last weekend, so... that's that. ]
[ she will get a brief hug, when she's in range. not too long, or too lingering. he can imagine she's none too delighted about too much in the way of surprise physical contact.
[ she will not be kept a prisoner to anything but her own wish for snuggles. ]
Mm. Well... you could've kept it quiet. I didn't plan on sharing my suspicions.
But... I'd rather you said something now and didn't end up on the wrong side of whatever happens if you don't go along with their little confession game.
I don't know what the sin for "turning over your friend on a whim and suspicion without a lick of evidence" is but I know I'm not interested in indulging in it.
[ sometimes there's stuff you really don't want to do, even if there are reasons to do so. morality versus self gain. ]
[ This she allows. In fact, she'll even turn a bit so they can touch foreheads-- not as intimate as an embrace and no hand-holding will happen here, but it's still more affectionate than she'd usually show. ]
You do very well... though I may not be the best judge, given how few friends I've made.
[ it's fine, if they have any more affectionate moments he'll get hives. ]
C'mon. Do you want to go and do something less intense, like read some truly terrible books from the library or find the weirdest drink at the bar? This week is already stressful enough.

Then we'll go there.

The one who killed Grell was me.

he looks unsurprised. ]
You're the only person I could think of that could walk a tightrope and not eat circus floor, Prim.
[ ... ]
You okay? Did she hurt you?
no subject
I'm fine-- my arms were cut when she broke the sword, but I was otherwise unharmed.
no subject
Alright, good.
[ ... ]
Did you want to talk about what happened, or leave it at that?
no subject
[ She's not exactly fond of killing. ]
no subject
Nah, it's fine. You take the weight of a life on your shoulders when you choose to take it. People who know that don't do it without a reason.
[ ... ] Oh-- I will ask though, did you know about her apparently identity before Fukuda told everyone in trial? Jack the Ripper, I think he called it?
no subject
I didn't. She was civil, if... rather eccentric and dramatic when we crossed blades.

Hey. [ he's holding out an arm to her. ]

Yes?

and then he'll let her go. ]
Thanks. For telling me.
no subject
Well, he's right. She's not the fondest of it, but there's also a part of her that wants to linger, to just slump into it.
She doesn't, but she also doesn't immediately back away either. ]
You needn't thank me. I already suspected you knew.

[ L-listen. She's touched. ]

he just leans forward and bumps his forehead lightly against the side of her head. ]
I try, at least.
no subject
You do very well... though I may not be the best judge, given how few friends I've made.

I'll take that endorsement, regardless.
