TNDG day 4

[exequte]

[She lets both of them in and waits until the door is closed before speaking.]

Hopefully you do actually have something you want to talk about, because nothing has actually changed in here since this morning. It seemed like you were trying to find the cameras?

Comments

[jinglebros]

I didn't want the cameras to see what I wanted to talk to you about.

[ A pause before he decides not to beat around the bush. ]

I gave Kyrie my bracelet.

[exequte]

I thought it might be something like that.

[THERE'S A PAUSE AT THAT REVELATION.]

... I... I guess you won't need it here? But she shouldn't either....

[jinglebros]

I wanted her to have something she could show you that proved I trusted her enough for her to hear anything you wanted to tell her.

I wanted to tell her things but it's not my place. It's your place to decide what's told.

[exequte]

[Another pause to assimilate that.]

I... All right. How much does she already know? How much does she want to know?

[jinglebros]

She knows I had the urge to murder someone. That's pretty much it.

[exequte]

[A faint, weary sort of smile.]

I think I can guess who.

[jinglebros]

That's why I said it's up to you to decide what to tell her.

[exequte]

You really trust her, don't you?

[jinglebros]

Yeah.

[ His answer is immediate but firm. ]

[exequte]

All right.

[She looks down.]

She's... She's very kind. I think she can be trusted. I hope she can be.

[jinglebros]

She's... I'll let her tell you. But you'll see why I can trust her.

She's kind, but she has secrets too. She's like you.

[exequte]

[She thinks, but does not quite say, that there's no one really quite like her, and she's glad of it, because others don't deserve it. That puts her to mind of something though.]

A-actually, as long as we're talking secrets....

[She sighs]

I owe you an apology.
