Yeah. Uh. That's part of why I wanted to check in. If you were involved in this - if it was a plan that went wrong - we'd, uh. Cover for you?
[He's aware that that sounds. Extremely shitty. But people do things for the people they care about. He tries to be a good person, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't take advantage of an opportunity if he needed it, if it was necessary.]
Doesn't sound like that's what happened. But we could still leave your name out of it. Don't want you to get dragged into this.
[ that's probably one of the most comforting things she's heard today, honestly. like... yeah, it's shitty. yeah, she wants as many people to be honest here as possible. just like she doesn't want anyone to have to kill anyone. but it's nice to hear that someone is willing to do a shitty thing for your sake.
at least, when it's something that doesn't get them killed.
still, she shakes her head. ]
Thanks. But it's fine. I really didn't have any part in it, so... I think honesty is still best. I don't want to slow down figuring out exactly what happened by hiding the truth. There's no reason to. We didn't have any sort of plan. He didn't talk to me about it, and I didn't tell him...
[ ... to do it. she shakes her head. ]
I want to figure out exactly what happened. Just to know. That'll be easiest with the truth.
[Taako's isn't much of a law and order type of guy. He's very much a friends above all else one. Justice can go fuck itself if it's going to end up hurting someone he gives a shit about. Just nodding back though - it really is her choice on the honesty thing.]
Sure. We can do that too. Maybe. We'll, uh, try. Getting okay at this murder solving thing.
Yeah. Figuring out the truth this time sounds, uh, pretty good. Who knows what the fuck we're supposed to be trying to do these days. Let's just find out what happened.
[He's not quite there with Taako - his character sheet still says lawful, even if he forgets most of the time - but he does believe that whatever happened, Alex is innocent in it. Whether she'd helped kill someone or not, she seems innocent in it. So. He sincerely wants to help. Fortunately, it seems what Alex wants isn't so different from what he wants.]
[ Alex is quiet for a second. once again, using this food as an excuse not to talk. when she does speak up again, it's with her eyes down on her lap. she sounds bitter. ]
You're - we're supposed to be impressing the Composer. That's how the Erased come back. But you're right. What the fuck is supposed to accomplish something that vague?
