I can't judge over harshly for someone causing unneeded death. Goddess knows I've done my fair share from time to time, but it hits different when it's from someone you... I don't know. Expect better from? Wiser decisions, at least.
[ a tweat!
it's not what he was expecting -- realistically that the staff should be as wrapped up in this mess shouldn't come as a surprise to him. he'd already been told they aren't free from the effects of this place even working as staff, so why would the memory sharing be any different?
he's quiet when the memory ends. the tenseness that's fallen over aquila not going unnoticed. ]
Not entirely. The... her I know and the her I saw seem like products of very different situations. Not that that's an excuse so much as an explanation.
I’m just relieved I don’t have to get pity supplies from Aquarius when I run out of eyeliner. Sweet of them to just hand it over, but it’s not something I wanted to start expecting.
Yeah, you definitely shouldn't have expected it. [ they snort, amused. ] Not surprised Aquarius gave it to you though. Gonna just steal from our spa now, huh?

... they relax when there's no initial reaction, and they snort. ]
Wiser decisions, yeah.
no subject
... Sometimes wise isn't always possible though. But I feel in her case, it was.

[ they don't really get it, but you know what, yuri's already explained it, so. they will let that be! ]
no subject
[ aquila will get about five seconds of peace before yuri shifts his gaze to look at them: ]
An assassination?
no subject
Hm? Oh. Yeah.
no subject
I can literally feel you wriggling out of this conversation.
[ other hand please. ]
no subject
they give him their right hand, relaxed. ]
Iunno what there is to wriggle about. Did some assassination jobs. You said it before, yeah? Better to kill for a reason than to kill for coin?
no subject
[ nails….. 2. ]
Were you successful?
no subject
[ they shrug their other shoulder as to not disturb yuri's work. ] Lucky when it's someone who deserved it, too.
no subject
It is, it is. Your conscience gets in the way when it’s someone who doesn’t.
no subject
they make a little noise, a soft laugh. ]
Yeah. Sure fuckin' does.
no subject
Ah well. I’d more concerned if it didn’t.
[ et voila. beautiful nails for a lil shit. ]
no subject
Yeah. We talked about that, too.
[ and then admire their right hand! pleased: ] Looks pretty good, pretty bird. We match.
[ they wiggle their fingers close to the purple hair and then go to pull their gloves back on once the nail polish is dry. ]

no subject
I didn’t. It was a surprise. Are they the sort of soul that hands out makeup supplies to poor, suffering [ twinks ] young men?
Yup. [ JUST SAID SO SHAMELESSLY. ]
no subject
[ they sound amused again, and then when yuri says that so shamelessly, they just straight up laugh. ]
Nice. Hey, 's what I would do!
no subject
[ hmmm. ]
Good to know I have backing then.
no subject
Yeah. Don't tell anyone, though: I'm well behaved.
