week 4, evening: room 111

[lohengrins]

[ it's the normal ritual. a knock on room 111's door that prompts percival to open the door and let his familiar friend in.

they sit on the bed, as per usual. ]

...You did well this trial. I knew you were capable.

Comments

[rextenebrae]

... I did?

[ For a moment, he takes pause, recalling the trial's events. He'll just, belatedly nod; it was something. Even if it wouldn't fix what had happened Thursday night. And then there were so many other issues--but one thing at a time. ]

I'm just glad that I was able to do something...useful. But, even though all is over and done with, I cannot help but be concerned about what transpired at the trial. Specifically the many instances where many were at each other's throats.

[lohengrins]

Yes. You have the potential to be a powerful young man...should you let yourself become one.

[ he nudges his wrist a bit playfully, but his features quickly shift. ]

...You're referring to Andersen, Heather, Hajime, Quer and I. That's no cause for concern: the 5 of us...we're allies.

[ percival gazes off into the distance, no longer looking towards knoll. ]

They've been my partners in working towards resolving this...ha, mess for some time now. If anything is to happen to me, they'll be the ones to protect you. I've already decided that.

They're good people. All of them, even in spite of our disputes.

[rextenebrae]

I--

[ He's nudged, and for a moment he imagines he must look a bit foolish with the look of surprise over his face at the other man's words. Then, when he speaks of the others as his allies, a bit of the worry leaves him, but still. ]

I suppose at the time it looked so bad. I really had no idea, and for a moment, I was afraid that something might have happened.

[ He releases a soft sigh--he doesn't want anything happening to Percival but that was obvious. So, he'll just move onto the other issue. ]

...What do you think of what happened with those two children? Do you believe it might be because of what Andersen said, or...?
