[yeah, he isn't giving any more than that. for Lili's sake]

. . . yeah. I trust her. [and he means that honestly] She warned Yin Yu and I in advance so we didn't accidentally scapegoat Dick, so. . . she has good intentions. I believe that.

[. . .]

Earlier on in the week she told me that if she ever seemed suspicious at trial to push her as hard as I could, because it meant that if she killed someone. . . she did so in self defense.

[another pause]

But you're also right that the footprints didn't lead to the garden, so. . . [he just shrugs a little helplessly]

You shouldn't tell me her power, but - just saying, some people were speculating some kinda animal control could've been involved with the bear, but we discounted that. Could be a lot of ways to fake bees besides that, but just putting it out there.

[Just in case. He still doesn't look that concerned, though.]

I trust Lili, too.

[a tiny little sigh and he rests his elbow on his knee and his chin in his hands]

I wish I would've thought of it during the trial.

She would've appreciated me keeping my promise.

[he wonders, then, if she's a bit disappointed in him for not trying harder]

[ruffboi]

Maybe. But unless she actually did it, and can't say anything about it at all, I feel like if she was disappointed she'd tell you to your face.

[. . . well, that does make him feel a little better. his mouth twitches and he lets out a breathless laugh]

Well, you're right about that. It's one thing I appreciate about her.
