[I DID!!!! HELP!!! THATS TRULY THE TRIAL MOOD. But he will go over to sit by them once given the go-ahead!]
Cute little dear, isn't it? [Oh to be a chao that knows nothing of the trial.] I'm alright, though, thank you... Are you holding up well enough, yourself? Is there anything that I can get for you?
[ You didn't reply in like 0.2 seconds so I do believe you ate. Good job. ]
..Yeah. [ Oh to be so clueless. ] I'm alright. Really. You and Yves have gone through a lot regarding Adolphe.. Those with Dan. Now Anders with the voting tonight. I feel like I'm the least person to worry about here.
[ Small reassurances, they're fine. ] Company is enough for me.
[HELP it's true... me in the kitchen for a whole half hour baking cakes and making dinner...]
It isn't as though there's only a limited amount of concern to go around, my dear. [Said with a slight smile, but he does nod after that.]
I do understand, though. [He also feels badly when people give him their concern, when Yves was hurting so much more over this. It's a painful loss for both of them, sure, but he's quite emotionally stable.]
If you don't mind my company, then, I'd like to lend it to you for as long as I'm able.
I know. I just think... some people deserve more of it. Or something.
[ You know? And also, sometimes it's scary to be perceived. They don't know how to react. ]
Of course. You're always free to stay as however long as you want. I don't mind. [ Lucas doesn't seem to mind how quiet Siffrin gets, after all. ] ..We aren't done just yet this week. There's still tomorrow and.. whatever the following week brings.
Sometimes it is scary to be perceived, damn. Lucas understands! He just nods a little at their explanation, not requiring them to explain any further. They can just sit together, either in silence or chatting lightly about what's to come.]
I know. One step at a time, one week at a time... One day at a time, even. Tomorrow will be another difficult trial for someone, and an unpleasant experience for nearly all of us. But one must continue on, regardless.
Their body tenses a little at the mention of time, the day to week. But they keep quiet, focusing ahead of them. Breathing in quietly before releasing it. Another thought coming to mind that they bring up. ]
He doesn't seem to notice the bit of tension right away, and when he does, there's a bit of a pause before he decides to set it aside for the time being.]
Ah... [FIREFLY.] Well. I would like to believe that she's telling the truth, but I also think it would be remiss to take her at her word completely when the only other party can't confirm or refute.
Mmm. [ There's a nod at that. ] I'd say that's fair. Marcoh thinks that... If she was only doing it for the apple, which she'll have now, then she at least won't go out and do it again.
[ Thinking... head tilts. ] ..But I'm wondering if someone will take it into their own hands anyway.
That's my line of thinking, as well. Between the two of them, she was a less sustained threat, regardless of whether or not she was telling the truth.
[Unlike Hawke who was clearly on the insane train like it's now clear Jing Yuan had been.]
...I should hope that won't be the case. I would like to see the cycle of violence end here... But I doubt it will happen now. It's possible someone may think to remove a possible threat, or find her to be an "acceptable" target for an apple of their own.
[He does not think... people who kill for an apple should be allowed to stay in the running for redemption...]
Mm.. it felt as if we didn't vote him, it would risk him going and killing someone else.
[ MAN READY TO SNAP AND KILL AGAIN. Though, it isn't as if Siffrin is thinking well clearly they should jail Firefly in the meantime because I don't think fantasy french believes in jail when everyone is a good bean and welcoming to all. ]
If someone doesn't think to remove what they see as a threat, someone will probably... break again. Like the other two. Either way, it doesn't feel like it'll just stop now.
[ Yeah Lucas about that thought. ]
If someone is killing for their own reasoning.. would they still count as being on the path to redemption? ..I guess, the angels would probably be able to answer that but I keep thinking about it.
But he just hums and nods in response to that, agreeing. Hawke was definitely just going to be fully unhinged and do another murder... imagine how funny it'd be if he was fine come monday though... But Lucas isn't considering that possibility.]
No, it doesn't. [Feel like it'll stop.] And that holds particularly true if speculations about interference are correct...
[He's quiet for a second at that, though.]
...From what I overheard during trial, it would be up to their god to decide. [...] If it were up to me, personally, I would say that they shouldn't.
[He is merciful when he can be, and he tries to be fair, but fairness to him looks like someone who stole another's path to salvation also losing their own.]
[ He just shows up Monday like woah guys i fucked up huh and everyone is like wtf? YEAH? WHO R U. But we'll never know.... and Siffrin isn't thinking that would've happened either way.
They remain quiet at that reply, the mention of interference. It makes sense from what they've seen so far, these... Their brows furrow, a brief confused look. ..How many weeks has it been now? They try to wrack their brain for anything but comes up blank.
Oh well. They look back to him, listening before glancing up. ]
..After taking someone's opportunity for redemption away, it definitely seems unfair.
[ That they would still keep their own chance. After all, it isn't as if it's a competition and only a number of them can be allowed.. so why? Because of temptation? ]
Siffrin finds themselves less forgiving nowadays compared to how they were before, before.. everything. Maybe before, Siffrin wouldn't be sure how to think, but something else comes to mind and it's too easy to agree. ]
Some might disagree, but I think some would also agree. Sometimes, mercy may be harsh, even if it's not a thought some might not want to hear.
We're in agreement, there. [Said a bit quietly, but followed by a sigh.] It's out of our hands in either case, though, I suppose. It's in the hands of this god. I feel they may err on the side of allowing it.
...Well. It's best not to dwell overly-much, I think.
[They can just sit in zoned-out silence in comfort for as long as they want, at least. Sometimes that's the best a binch can get in this coldass world. gently sets this thread free]

He isn't necessarily happy that they agree, but it's perhaps a bit of a comfort, knowing that he's not alone in his less than merciful opinion.]
Some may disagree. Some might say that a truly merciful god would allow for it. But to me, mercy isn't always the softest option.
