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?

[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.

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.

I'll make sure he has no idea about anything you just said. And, of course, the llama thing.

Yes, of course. Ask away.
