[ 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.

Thanks. For telling me.

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.
