[ he doesn't know either, but his thoughts are more receptive than they were at trial. he just occasionally taps his feet a little here and there for more flowers. ]
Part of me wonders if she even knew it'd be that bad.
But I don't know, Kaveh, it's like I said. You'd have to tie Wenzhou down or do something to him... to even get a hit right in on his face and stop him. He's a man who will stand even if he's half dead. I've seen it myself...
You'd have to tie him down even within an inch of his life to kill him.
[Gently, he reaches over, drawing Eiden's hand into his lap. He's making a flower bracelet; he'll start weaving it around Eiden's free wrist, if he can.]
I didn't know him well, but I believe it. I'd wondered if maybe he wouldn't have fought his assailant, depending on who it was... but I believed you when you said he would have.
[And again, Wenzhou's note.]
Whoever it was... it really seems like they staged a peaceful discussion when there wasn't one.
[ he will just scoot a little closer to make it easier, watching him quietly for a long moment. ]
It does... and whatever happened either went according to plan or didn't go according to plan at all. Using every last thing to take him down. To the point where they just had to...
[ he trails off and turns his head away because yeah. hah. imagine blowing up. he looks down at the fading burns on his free hand. ]
Regardless of what happened, or anyone's intentions... it's not something you should've had to deal with. [It feels like such a hollow thing to keep saying over and over, but--Kaveh thinks it's important that they don't forget that.] ...But it should be over now, if my math is right. So maybe it's naive, but... I'm hoping we'll be able to see them again soon.
