[keeping all of her glances to figure out how hurt he got very casual, but stepping in]

Have you told Baritones already?

[ he's not visibly hurt anywhere - - Lucifel was thorough!! and there's a languid shrug as he opens the second door past their entrance room.]

I have no intention of telling them. They hardly need to know of my every feud and squabble.

[well, damnit, lucifel. following him]

You have acquired so many?

[ he's going to take a seat at the bar -- gesturing for her to sit as well. ]

Oh, a handful. It's not a dire concern.

[does so, keeping a seat between them, tyvm]

It seems more curious than unsettling. I would worry that some of that resentment may come to bear against Baritones. More than your unit has somehow earned already.

I would like to think we've done quite well for ourselves in terms of our public image, lately. So it should not be too much of a factor.

Is that so? Then, I am glad to hear it.

Unless, that is -- your friend decides my actions reflect upon the rest of my unitmates'.

[ he's grabbing himself a cup from behind the bar ]

I cannot speak for him regarding that. We have not often discussed Baritones between us, except in the aftermath of games when finding out who was harmed.

Well -- I suppose we shall find out, then.

[ pouring himself water that turns to wine in his glass ]

Did you wish to explain his actions?

No. I cannot explain them any more than what has already been said regarding it. I have not heard word from him yet.

Then what is it that you preferred to discuss in person?

You asked if I was insulted or touched by his actions. The truth is that it is neither. I am only disappointed, that he would ignore my wishes and fall prey to your simple ploy, even if it was not intended for him.

Is he wont to engage in acts of vigilantism?

I am certain you can draw your own conclusions from what you have seen.

[ a hum, amused ]

Well! My only hope is that he is satisfied enough it will not be a repeated occurence.

I pray the same as well. For both your sakes.

You do not care, do you? If I show that memory to any and all here.

[ he pauses, before he lifts his shoulders. ]

I doubt it would change anything, in the end. It's simply not something I would imagine you would enjoy broadcasting.

No, I would not, especially since it has very little to do with me . . . And much more to do with you.

As considerate as always, hmm?

You have been hurt enough. Whatever my feelings towards you are, I do not wish you harm in any sense.

Well, that is a relief.

[ lightly -- taking another drink; ]

There is another matter I wished to discuss with you as well. There would have been a familiar face showing on your unit recently, hm?

[slight exhale, shoulders down for a beat before coming back up, preparing herself]

Yes, there is. You have been courteous to him so far, unlike before, and I am grateful for that.

Have I been discourteous to you, my dear Glacies?

[level, not heated:]

You killed me in front of my king. None would call that polite.
