We might want to save it for now, though. Vampires have a natural ability to regenerate all non-fatal wounds. If we get out of here, I may be able to get it back myself.
.... that she killed Luca-san. [and even getting the words out is hard for him, making him scowl] That she did it because she thought it would get her ahead in the race, and she acted when someone invited her to do so. My guess was Mahito.
That she would've told me earlier if she could've but....
[and the word is punctuated with a slam of his fist against the door of the pod since the mods said it won't open anyway - it probably hurts, but it's not enough to really cut through the rage that he feels]
Is that what she meant by - just knowing that they'd act again...?! She set you up to die?!
[while mineo's getting more and more worked up, lenore is calm, and even seems to crack the slightest smile? this is a bit cathartic.]
I'm surprised no one ever seemed to suspect her. Personally, I always thought it was interesting that she spent so many of her Thursday nights with Mahito. You know, knowing what he is.
[ . . . . he breathes out at that and - there's still something about the anger that sort of just sits on his shoulders. like he has trouble shaking it off.]
.... maybe we did but it's still -
[ . . . ]
I wish I could've just - protected the people I wanted to protect.
I understand that feeling well. I wasn't able to protect my allies, or even myself. The most I could hope for was revenge, and even that didn't go as planned.
He killed Steven. Ruined his face. Set in motion the events that led to Law's death. Continued to torment my favourite humans in the afterlife. Furthermore, he is an enemy of women.
So, as soon as I saw an opportunity, I killed him.

[she gives a half-shrug, like she's not that disappointed.]
Might be a problem if we run into any mortal peril in the immediate future, though.
no subject
Dammit...
Oh - some people have powers that can heal non-fatal injuries? Maybe we can ask tomorrow....

[because he looks unhappy that she's still hurt]
It doesn't hurt at all? You're sure? I can beat up White for some more painkillers now, so...
no subject
[she chuckles a bit. and then it fades...]
Mineo... I'd like to ask you something.
no subject
he looks a little nervous but - he steels himself and nods.]
Yeah, of course. What is it?

no subject
there's a moment where his own expression turns a little severe. a pulse of anger that hasn't quite managed to die]
... the past week. She told me, after the no vote.
no subject
How much did she tell you?
no subject
That she would've told me earlier if she could've but....
[god
he's so fucking angry talking about it again]
... why?
no subject
no subject
oh.
oh.]
Did she -
You....?
no subject
There were three people involved in planning my murder, yes.
no subject
he's seething. he clenches his fists so tightly that his knuckles go white over it.]
How.....
How many times would she still try to lie to me?!
no subject
That's how I was chosen as a target. And Aoi.

he's just. scowling deeply, expression becoming more and more irritable.]
.... she's -
[ . . . ]
Since we got here, she tried to look out for me. That's not an excuse. I should've still...
[not trusted her as much as he did? cast some more doubt on her?]
.... I'm sorry, Lenore-san. I... really am.
no subject
... I forgive you. I suppose we've all made mistakes and miscalculations along the way, here. Myself included, of course.

[he frowns at that]
I know I sent him back over there pretty fast but...
no subject
I don't mean Childe. Knowing that someone used a spell to keep him from fighting back, much like what he did to me? That was perfect, actually.
I meant, against Vlad.
no subject
[he blinks at that]
He caused trouble for you?
no subject
So, as soon as I saw an opportunity, I killed him.
