[JUST. . . HUFFS AN AMUSED NOISE]

. . . I don't know how I'm supposed to figure out which one of you it is like this. . .

[axilium]

And what exactly are you trying to figure out?

[survivaltricks]

Which one of you knows.

[knows]

[what???]

[axilium]

Well, that very helpfully explained everything.

[survivaltricks]

Which one of you knows.

Sssssomething.

Related to Winter.

[axilium]

And what makes you think it's singular?

[survivaltricks]

Well, maybe it isn't. I did last talk with them on Monday; things could have changed by now.

[axilium]

I think probably things have.

[survivaltricks]

Oh good, that'll make my conversation with Steph a lot easier.

[DID YOU KNOW DANCING AROUND THINGS IS HARD]

[axilium]

Probably.

No idea if Yasusada knows, though, since we don't talk.

[survivaltricks]

. . . well, I'll be careful bringing it up around him, then. I'd rather not put her in any unnecessary danger.

[ha ha]

When did you find out?

[axilium]

Around Monday was when I confirmed it, though it was kind of obvious from the first week here.

[survivaltricks]

Monday is when she told me that she had told one of you, but it sounds like she managed to speak with more of you since then.

[he sounds pleased about that]

Were you two close?

[axilium]

[he shrugs.]

We were acquainted.

[survivaltricks]

Acquainted enough to recognize her mannerisms even under the hat?

[axilium]

I mean, strangers don't usually give indirect kisses to the people they execute.

[survivaltricks]

. . . [haha]

[his expression sobers a bit at that]

I guess she was close to Evan, then.

I didn't want to bring up bad memories, so-- [he never asked]

[axilium]

Yeah. That's what tipped me off, and Steph probably figured it out then too.

Anyway, Steph's the one who was close with her.

[survivaltricks]

[he nods]

Like I said, I already planned on talking to her about it, too. Not necessarily to gather information, I just--

[a small breath]

I know she doesn't like having to wear the mask.

[axilium]

I would imagine not.

[survivaltricks]

[nodnods]

Anyway, I'm glad some of the people she knew before are aware now. Her job's a pretty tough one; she can use the support.

[axilium]

[ha.

how laughable.]

What, are you not enough?

[survivaltricks]

[WHAT IS LAUGHABLE!!]

I'm always in favor of people having more friends.

[raises his brows, mouth twitching slightly]

[axilium]

[nothing akira needs to know about!]

You should be careful about assuming that everyone's buddy-buddy with each other just because they were from the same place.

[survivaltricks]

[Belph :/]

I'm not making that assumption. You said she and Steph were close, and while you said you were only acquaintance with her you don't sound like you hate her or anything.

[soooo. support???]
