I was able to confirm with Fukuda that his condition resulted from the same action as me: taking a life. Just to eliminate the possibility that there could have been some other action that leads to surprise amputations.
I do appreciate that I wasn't outed at today's meeting. [in fact, she'd been wearing gloves that neatly concealed her missing hand, earlier today. said gloves seem to be gone now.] Seeing as Vlad knows, I no longer have any stake in keeping this information from others. I think I might let Eleanor know. She did ask nicely.
That said... if you do need to discuss the penalty, I would suggest using some discretion, for Grell and Fukuda. I suspect they have a reason for their silence on the matter... even if it would have been nice, to know about it beforehand. To say the least.
I don't know who they killed. If anything, you could tell me it was each other or themselves for a show of loyalty and I'd believe you. [ They're such a dysfunctional pair. ]
I would, at the very least, categorize Grell under "useless". I don't know if she's just trying to indulge in Despair or if she really believes it, but she definitely seemed incredibly pessimistic about our chances. Fukuda is a little more useful, except if it's matters that involve Grell.
[ inner law: please don't talk about it. lenore and steven immediately: talks about it.
this man is suffering and these two..... ]
If it's those two then I rather not think about what sort of reasoning they had for killing either one another or someone else. Especially if it was for a more perverse reason.
[ PLEASE THINK OF YOUR LAW, and he'll redirect the conversation to something significantly more relevant and pleasant. if only pleasant because it's about lenore and not grill. ]
I believe the fact that no one has come forward to complain of being killed by them speaks volumes.
[she gives steven a smile that lasts a little too long, like there's more to be said that she just isn't saying, but she'll think of their law and leave it there. and to law's question...]
Only that you accept my gratitude for rescuing me. Thank you... both of you.
[since steven is closer, he gets a hug a first! her hair also takes part in the hug. it's fine?
and law gets a briefer one, but it's followed with her looking up at him happily, and saying:]
I just knew you were the sort who'd come running for a damsel in distress.
[ You should've clearly said "No, I don't want to hear about Grill" out loud if you were going to complain (internally), Law. He just shakes his head at Lenore's last quip about it. ]
I'd say just let them do... whatever it is they're doing, as long as it doesn't directly interfere with us or anyone else unwillingly. [ Image of Steven kicking Grill out of the meeting floor because of their batshit bizarre proposal stunt.
He'll accept this hug though, with a pat on Lenore's back. The hair thing is, you know, weird, but it's hardly her fault. He... gives that a small pat too??? Hello...
He just puts his hands on his hips, looking... probably tired, a bit hard to tell with the weird eyes going on with him, while Lenore hugs Law. ]
[ law says nothing when lenore hugs steven and is caught off by surprise when she comes to hug him, however brief. unfortunately she ends it before he's able to respond properly. ]
Sure, but I'm still no "handsome rouge".
[ rather, guess he was handsome?? and a rogue?? but not those words together in the context that she meant her. oh well; suppose this can just be an inside "joke" if nothing else. nevertheless, a small smile on his face when he responds to lenore for her comment as a sign of him accepting her thanks.
the idea of someone like him running to someone's aid as he has... there were only so many people here worth helping. steven's comment will catch law's attention and he only gives him a single look before chiming in. ]
[ don't look at him like that!! lenore came up with it and she was content with it. but law will just shrug; he's also not against it. there is a world's of difference in terms of being a meal for lenore and literally anything else that has happened to him here. ]
Are you looking for my blessing? I volunteered to be donor after you died.
[ anyway since law won't put it to words, he has an arm that's free for the biting. ]
I'm not looking for your blessing, she asked you too so I was looking to see if you were gonna do this too.
[ C'mon Law. He makes a slight face about Law mentioning how he became replacement donor. It really wasn't his intention to start a chain of people willing to help Lenore, and if anything, he thinks it's weird that he somehow did, but. It's not exactly appreciation that he feels, but he's glad for Lenore, at least. Kind of. ]
Ah, right. That... that's pretty fair, honestly. [ THESE WEEKLY EFFECTS. ] A quick one, then.

Head back then?

[getting a smile out of him is pretty satisfying, though! so she’ll leave it there.]
Yes, let’s go back.
Come to think of it, I could go for a little blood donation... if either of you don’t mind.
no subject
[ Huh... well, he shrugs, a little, running a hand through his hair. ] Well... if it's for your health, I don't mind I suppose.
