disingenuous | kashuu catchall

[ She freezes when he touches her, tense. Her breathing is a little unsteady, and she takes even breathes. ]

... We have to focus on who's behind the murders. Who would kill Meteion?

[Oh, bad. Kashuu eases his hand back at that reaction, holding it up in a sort of "means no harm" gesture.]

We can speculate all we want now, but we're not gonna get anywhere until we have more stuff to look at. Seriously, though, d'you need anything...? Water or-- I dunno...

[He doesn't know what's HAPPENING HERE HELP.]

[ She is still struggling to get back up even if she is doing so, slowly but surely. She's doing her best to look composed, but it's not like he didn't find her, collapsed and collecting bruises for tomorrow. ]

I'll be fine, Kiyomitsu. I'm still here.

[Roxana is still more dignified even collapsed than half this game is on their best days. In either case, he won't touch her again unless she indicates she wants the help, but he hovers nervously anyway.]

...You're still here, yeah. [But his brow's still knit with concern.] I'm glad that you are.

[ Her shoulders tremble slightly. It's hard to say if it's from lifting herself up or from keeping from coughing. ]

I'm glad you're still here, too. Crow almost....

...I know.

[CROW REALLY OUT HERE FAKING EVERYONE OUT except now Kashuu's worried for other reasons because why was Crow out there?? Hello!! This has never happened before and he's not sure how to feel about it.]

--Wanna come sit with me?

[He'll gesture over toward whatever comfortable couch is nearest.]

... All right.

[ She takes slow and measured steps towards the nearest couch and sinks down into it. ]

What do you think happened to him?

[ There are at least two possibilities. ]

[Kashuu will move to sit nearby, giving her space this time, but leaning toward her attentively. He's absolutely frowning at the question, though.]

...Could be that he was attacked by someone refracted and fought back, or that he's one of the refracted. Could also be a gumball. There are some pretty powerful ones out there that can influence how things go at night.

[ It will take a long moment, but eventually, Roxana will shift and scoot over to be closer to Kashuu. ]

... Itsuki told me about his. Is there more than that out there?

But I think, for simpler reasoning, it's either he was attacked or he attacked. It's not often the people who are found don't have something directly to do with what happened.

[ Not often.... it hasn't happened in their five or six weeks here. ]

[Comrades... He'll let her set the tone for proximity, but his body language reads as clear and open, at least; physical contact is the best way he knows how to comfort people, after all. But he'll nod at that.]

Yeah. Like - the one Prompto had woulda let him take someone else's place if they were targeted. Stuff like that.

[He's frowning about that, though. CROW REALLY THREW IN A CURVEBALL...]

...I went to visit him in medbay but didn't really talk to him about whether or not he remembered anything. Not that it wouldn't be hard to lie anyway.

[ She tucks that information about Prompto's gumball away. Saving lives... at the exchange of your own... ]

He told me he remembered being attacked but not by who or how many.

[ The fact that it could have been plural is alarming honestly. What does that mean.... what does it mean... ]

I know Crow can lie, but he is at risk for hypothermia.

[ And that's not something a lot of people would do, but it's not like it could have been on purpose. So much shit happens on Thursday nights that nine hours isn't enough on Saturdays. ]

[A Very Rough Gumball.]

--How many? [Yeah he's picking up on that too HELLO!! He's not looking very reassured... So far, none of their refracted people have worked together, but there's nothing saying that couldn't change.]

But yeah, that's true... I don't think he'd purposely put himself at risk of maybe dying of exposure out there.

He seemed unclear.

[ Which Roxana really didn't like either. Hello? Why does there need to be a possibility of more than one? Awful. ]

It doesn't seem like something he'd do, but there's nothing to say someone didn't do that as a last ditch retaliation, if he wasn't the one who was targeted.

[He doesn't like this!!! Seem more clear, Crow, they can't live this way!!! But he'll just sigh and nod.]

Like they ran outta time and were just hoping the elements would take care of him instead?
