[recrowns]

Do you not believe me... [wolf your tsundere popularity]

And I'll try to look after Lup to the best of my ability.

[maybe that will provide like

itty bitty comfort?]

[retellers]

You've seen for yourself that if someone's targeted, there's not much anyone else can do. [ none comfort and also none answer because they clearly do not believe it ]

[recrowns]

Oh, I see what you mean that idealism doesn't suit you.

[soo-won]

.... are you worried about them?

[retellers]

To be honest, I don't think they're in any more danger than anyone else right now. Maybe if it keeps going like this.

[recrowns]

[he nods along at that]

Well, I suppose it depends on how many they admitted their teams to as well, right?

Though it seems like the matter of danger is no longer a question, but a fact. Will we be seeing you, Fox, and Rabbit again this coming week?

[it'd be nice to have npcs who

pat down people before they get executed]

[retellers]

Yeah. It's our turn again.

[ they sound

so enthusiastic about it, ]

[recrowns]

[sdflksdjfdlsjkf

i'm sorry

he just laughs - though a bit more gentle than before, giving that he actually doesn't want to aggravate his injury]

Oh, joy.

[is he trying to mimic wolf's deadpan? perhaps]

[retellers]

[ there's a twitch of their lips ]

That tone doesn't suit you.

[recrowns]

You didn't seem to believe me when I said I like talking to you, so I had to take a different approach. Not convincing that way either?

[retellers]

You're a guy who can convince people of a lot of things, probably. [ idly ] Wouldn't say a lack of enthusiasm is one.

[recrowns]

[there's

just a bit of an amused huff at that, though he doesn't seem bothered]

How distrusting... Are you an 'actions speak louder than words' type?

[given that soo-won literally finessed his way out of being condemned at trial he cannot blame wolf for this and seems to realize that much at least]

[retellers]

Stop trying to pigeonhole me into a type already.

[ they sound so exasperated?? ]

I'm calling it like I see it. You show people what you think you can. Am I wrong?

[recrowns]

[he looks thoughtful at that, as if he's trying to genuinely give an honest answer]

... I think so?

Is there more that I'm meant to show?

[retellers]

[ they shrug ]

How you present yourself to people, that's up to you.

[recrowns]

[he nods]

Hm... Well, I choose to present myself as someone who'd like to help, because that is a sincere desire I possess. I don't know if the whole truth is always necessary for that.

What about you? Are you honest in every moment that you take breath?

[retellers]

[ dismissive, immediately; ]

No one is. [ they shrug ] But if I've got a self to hide, I don't remember it.

[recrowns]

I suppose that does leave you with little room for anything but honesty...

[he hums thoughtfully]

If I may, how would you describe yourself? Who you are now, even without your memories.

[retellers]

Think I'm not really the self-reflecting kind. [ they shrug again but sigh and try. for at least. one answer ] No-nonsense, I guess?

[recrowns]

[he laughs and nods along with that - again, that sounds familiar]

I appreciate the effort.

[because wolf is trying!]

Is there anything that you find fun?

[retellers]

Probably, but none of it has been here so far. [ so it's hard to? gauge? ] I like training, but I doubt that's all there is to it.

[ at least they accept that much ]

[recrowns]

[A JOCK]

Training? Ah - do you know what fighting style you prefer? Swords? Spears?

I'd offer to spar - but perhaps in a week or two.

[if he like

lives that long]

[retellers]

With the rate you get injured, might get longer than that.

[ this is unfair since he only got injured now but. wolf doesn't care. either way: ]

Swords.

[recrowns]

Maybe the frequency will slow?

[three murder attempts in one day is a lot

but also - ]

Can you show me?

[don't just ask wolf to show off swordplay]

[retellers]

Sometime, I guess. My sword's in the castle now.

[ because some people don't have magic weapons or teleporting powers ]

[recrowns]

Next time! Bring it with you.

[sometimes you just live a life surrounded by jocks and you're okay with it]

So you can't just summon yourself and items as you please?
