Haha, so you wanting people to confess their feelings... [That actually gets him to laugh.] Well, I guess you got exactly what you wanted with that one.
[He smirks in turn. Its strange, to think of the random coincidences and events that just happened to lead to them all being like this, but...he wouldn't regret a single thing that happened.]
Sometimes we get extra things out of wishes we put out into the world. [And a nod.] So...did you do this with Tiger? I'm guessing the Leaders were in the know.
I can, yes-- normally I discuss it with others, but I moved forward on my own, this time.
A mandate for each participant to use at least one of their items, prior to the trial. Hopefully that will clear several out that could cause trouble during it, and force some more use out of them-- we do seem to hold on to them far too often.
His usual attitude puts me ill at ease, and he pries entirely too much for my liking-- particularly given that he admitted to mistakenly sharing too much before. Of course I would not give him anything to work with, then...
[a heavy sigh, there, somewhat frustrated.]
Although it seems Archer tipped him off that I had some form of duty, when we still thought I was to die the next day. He came to me to inform me he believed he knew I had it, and then wished to have my team on top of that.
Ah, I see. Yeah, that's Won for you. He's as pleasant as pleasant can be...but he's a shrewd one. I think he's doing what he can for the good of everyone else, but he's not above seeing everyone as, like, pieces in a game of chess. I actually was...am? His bodyguard. Blanca and I, we'd stay with him during curfew for that reason.
[And a shrug.]
I personally like him, but sure. [He gives Emet a wink. It looks like he's blinking.] I'll turn him into a llama, just for you.
I fully believe he is working for the greater good, yes, which is why I cannot trust him on a more personal level-- especially if he has been wrong before. He will do what he thinks is necessary, and I do not know to what degree I trust him to be correct in it.
[a shake of his head.]
He has always looked somewhat amused, when we spoke of royalty or nobility. As if he were enjoying a joke only he was privy to. It was not hard to see, but an annoyance nevertheless.
Yeah. [And Hansa's own expression sombers.] He's...already done things, drastic things, for that cause. And its his own plans, that he constructs on his own.
[And he is willing to go the distance for them, and offer himself up if he sees no other option.]
And that's understandable. He's a king, himself. Though he likes to keep that secret. His own little joke, indeed.
--did he, now. And yet even after escaping for it himself, he was still so willing to encourage others to put me to death.
[his expression is definitely slightly stormier, there... listen, he understands killing the splintered, he does. it's a necessity. but knowing of that first kill--]
Eh, I went to him afterwards, and he claimed that going for you in trial was the only way to guarantee that you would be spared for execution. Same with Jeanne. I don't know the conditions, but it seems like "the easy option" in trial plays a roll in that. I don't know. He was the one who told me you would be fine the next day, by the way. So he already was working to save you, or at least knew the people who did.
[But still, yeah, it was a dick move on his part.]
[though. he's... he's considering, and then looks slightly alarmed.]
Wait. If he has killed twice-- Hansa. I understand this is much to ask, but if I provide you two teams and ask if he belongs to one, will you tell me truthfully?

no subject
[as if he would ever want that on his own, he's not the 'hold hands and share feelings' type.]
But yes. It was quite conveniently timed, nevertheless.
[that gets a slight smirk from him.]

I don't suppose you could spoil this week's rule ahead of time?

[Hm.]
Well, its either turn someone into a llama or make two people fall in love, for me. That should be fun.

no subject
Hey. You don't have any particular person you want to turn into a llama, do you?
no subject
Soo-Won.
no subject
Won? Really? How come?

[but, hm. he frowns slightly.]
Do you mean that he has taken drastic measures here? I am aware of what he has done in his own home, but less so in this Realm.
no subject
[Ah, yes.]
[He hasn't told anyone this, but...it's Emet-Selch. He would tell him anything.]
...He has killed twice, in this Realm. The first was not his fault. Self defense, much like you. The second, though...
[And he frowns.]
A person splintering, but still..."for the greater good". [And a beat.] He...was the one who killed Yona.
no subject
[his expression is definitely slightly stormier, there... listen, he understands killing the splintered, he does. it's a necessity. but knowing of that first kill--]
I suppose I was correct in my assessment of him.

I suppose everyone just tells him everything, do they.
[this is absolutely not helping.]
Well. The fact remains that I do not intend to.

[REMAIN THE BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY YOU ARE, EMET]
I'll make sure he has no idea about anything you just said. And, of course, the llama thing.
no subject

Yes, of course. Ask away.
