I really did think he was dead. [she says, absently.] I had no idea how it was going to work. We didn't have this sort of thing in mine. I guess Iris gave Childe something but that was... instant.

... there's a little bit of a smile, in their voice, and they say, a little wryly: ]
Hi. You'd be Miss Lup, right? I'm Orion. It's a pleasure to meet you.
no subject
[her ear flicks.] Wow, nice to meet you, it's wild how this is a six week murder trip instead of eight... wow...
[don't just assume it's eight weeks you dingus]
no subject
It is, isn't it? What a strange, convenient oversight.
[ amused... ] Then again, almost certainly, the shorter the better.
no subject
Well. In most cases. [don't be gross]

however. . . .
lup gets the sense that they might have just closed their eyes under the veil.
just slightly groaned: ] Miss Lup...

That is not even close to the worst thing I've ever said.

Okay, but I did! It was me!

[...] It's been kind of lonely.
no subject
...Having to keep the secret, you mean?
no subject
It is what it is. I'm not going to put Miles in danger for it, so I have to just play dumb every time someone asks me about what I think did it.

Asking Lepus questions is like asking a scorpion to dance.
no subject
...Dangerous, but maybe still intriguing....?
[ wince ]
... They're the only one who could answer that question, though, since they're the one who oversees it.
no subject
[grumbles.]

... I think it would be worth bringing up again, even still. [ a little dip of their head. ] If it might ease the burden a bit, if nothing else.

...Both, I suppose.
