If I thought about what I’d seen Douman reading earlier in trial, I’d have mentioned it sooner. Might’ve stopped that tangent we went off on before people could start trying to find ways to pin the blame on him.
[ he’s kinda furious about it so, nah. but he does close his eyes for a moment, like he’s just taking a moment to breathe, and then opening his eyes again. ]
Can’t say I’m delighted about catching Law either.
I'll say this - if he didn't want to get caught, I think he would've found a way. [ ... ] I spoke with him about it earlier. His reasons for going after Douman were a bit more personal than he initially explained. I won't go into detail about it, but.
I’m planning on speaking to him before tomorrow. I don’t think Douman killed Steven, but I want to know more about his reasons. And maybe thank him, depending on what I get confirmed.
I don't know if Law will have the answer that you're looking for.
[ he'll say that honestly. ] I think he came to the same conclusion that we did. [ that it was vlad related... ] But, perhaps something will come of it that will help nonetheless.
Ah! Yes. [ fufufu. he wiggles his fingers back. ] Sorry for the odd inspection with no explanation, though I do appreciate your cooperation. I've got a strong nose, you see, so I was enlisted rather quickly in helping to see if we could find anyone who may have attempted to scrub their hands clean.
They set the trap in the medbay on Thursday evening. Right under my nose! I didn't find out about it until the next morning.
Don't worry about it, I had nothing to hide. I take it you didn't get to check Law before the trial began?
[ hm. ] Clever of them. Although now I guess people will be on the look out for that as well, if they've any sense so we might have to adapt and think of something else.
[ i had so many hand sniffing pcs and law was not one of them. ] I wasn't in my room much on Friday, so.
[ sometimes... you just have other stuff to do. ] And that's true, but - I think it means people won't think they can just leap off into the healing pods and use that to get away with murder so easily. Which is a very, very good thing.
Mn. I don't think that's so surprising. Law is a man of his convictions - he is certainly well suited for his name.
[ so him immediately being forthright wasn't that surprising. ] But you're exactly right. [ there's a beat, and gu yun smiles, amusement on his face, as they talk about the trap itself. ] You know, when I asked Harrow why she didn't let me in on the plan, her reasoning wasn't because she thought I might kill someone. It was because she thought I'd make the same joke Molly did.
[ which
he laughed really hard at it during trial so like she wasnt wrong ]
[ it was hysterical!!! an excellent joke even if the reference was lost on him. ] But, I did find out quickly, so I was able to help at least a little.

There's no sense in wallowing over could-haves. For now, at least, we're not sending someone off to death that didn't kill someone.

So. Sneaky med bay traps, was it?

[ honestly, yuri forgets that gu yun and law are roommates because he's just. probably in room 9 more often than not. where is your rent, sir. ]
Or they'll have to get creative about it and might leave more clues. Either way, Harrowhark and Molly certainly played that one well didn't they?

It would've been far more complicated if he hadn't been the sort of man he is. [ or a shady shit like yuri is. ]
... She's right you would've. It would've been terrible. [ he is fuckin' laughing. who let any of these shits anywhere near each other. ]

Good. I imagine that let you all clear more of us before the trial even started.

[ poor pride who is now stuck with them. rip. ] It worked out rather well.

[ this is why pride literally cried blood — gu yun and molly’s fault ]
But maybe next week you could both try not to have a reason to be sleeping in the med bay. Pretty please.
