I thought it might be useful in case we had trouble getting past the rocks at the front of the mine... But it turned out we didn't need it for that. I'm sorry for the trouble.
[she feels! very bad about that!
About him covering? About Bucky getting scapegoated? Yes.]
[Mmmm given that he isn't upset so much as just deeply concerned that Yona might get some heat at any point, he will smile at her]
I don't blame you for thinking that far ahead... but temperaments will sometimes flare over the smallest details.
[... Sighing a little]
Even still, we have a penchant for waiting until the last moment to decide things, though I do not think we were disorganized in this case... merely that we happened to overlook a crucial piece of evidence.
I suspect either it was buried, or hidden in someone's room... or maybe even up in the mountains.
[A tired sigh]
Regardless, we do not have much time with which to find evidence. That we accomplish anything is a miracle. [So he's gonna offer them some grace here. It's not like last week for Chiron just straight-up felt they were buzzing around like bees without a hive]
At this point we can only continue forward. I do not know if finding previous killers will improve the Realm, so best we look at other methods, no matter how it hurts to fail.
It probably wouldn't, if we get more nova for a "guilty" result than an "innocent" one...
[unless it's a once guilty, always guilty kind of thing? note to self, do that for a future game I mod]
...we have to look at the big picture, I think. Even if it hurts, and there are definitely some people I'd like to see pay for what happened... the important thing is that we make it through this and put things right, isn't it?
[If you do, please link back here so everyone can scream at me for bringing that cursed mechanic to life.]
... I do agree. Our goal has not changed -- we are here to help restore the Realm and the Nova. Though I do not approve of the methods, such things are out of our hands.
[...]
Even still, do be careful, Yona. [He reaches over and ruffles her hair a little]

[like seriously! the one week they check sleeves is the one week yona has dynamite in hers!]
...so I can't think what it was that we overlooked. It is strange, though, that we couldn't find her sword. She had it with her most of the time.

I would be deeply unhappy to lose you.
no subject
You won't lose me.
[she smiles]
I haven't killed anyone, and the way things are going, I don't think I'll have to, unless someone tries to kill me.
[if her nova splinters, really.]
As long as that doesn't happen, I'm not going anywhere. Even then, I'd fight back. I don't need my memories to know that I would.

[A quiet mixture of relief that's still tinged with sadness, like he's lost in how much he'll grief should life treat them poorly.
But it's nothing he means to linger on; he shakes himself out of his thoughts and nods]
I hope it will be the same for me. [...] Unless it is for the greater good, I would prefer to remain alive now.
no subject
Let's both do our best to survive, Chiron. I want to see this through to the end with you.
[...that way, they'll have as much time together as they can before he goes back to being dead in canon.]
no subject
As do I. There are still many things I wish to teach you.
[A pause, and then with almost an amused huff]
Well, more that I just enjoy spending time with you when I can.
no subject
Mm, I enjoy that, too. Meeting you has been one of the best parts of all of this.
[The whole murder thing? That sucks! But...
...she'd do it again if the alternative was never meeting him at all.]
