[Filtered to anyone who cares about the whole Legato debacle]

The outpost in the dead zone is still intact, just saying, and I will remind everyone in general that the doors do lock. We could just stick Legato out there for a while and make sure he didn't get back into the castle zone. No powers, no forcing townspeople to kill each other and themselves. Of course the risk to him would be vengeance-seekers and he might attempt suicide, but it's a possibility.

[And of course, if Legato attempts suicide, it might be doing them all a favor.]

[She is... yes... so angry and upset, for a lot of reasons she can't even puts words too. His condescension certainly grates too. She glares up at him, tense under his hands.]

Then what's your plan? What are you planning on doing with him, hm?

[...there's a slight pause -- his eyes briefly waver before they're surprisingly guarded. but in that moment, he looks... vaguely hurt, and disappointed.

he straightens, slowly, his hands falling away from her shoulders.]

...After everything... is that all you have to say to me, Rin?

Is that all that matters to you now?

You're telling me not to get involved and that it's not my place and I shouldn't even be around him. But who else has a plan to deal with it? Who else is coming up with an idea that can actually be carried out? If I'm getting involved... I'd be happy to let someone else take everything over! But he's been captured since summer and I didn't get involved and he's still in jail. [If no one else is making things work and she has an idea... she'll step forward with it. :(]

...

[he watches her a moment, a soft furrow at his brow.]

This isn't about Legato or... the plan. [are you listening to him at all, Rin? :(]

[A lot of that kind of flowed around her head. ;/]

... That's all this is about. [Everything she said here.] What's best to do with Legato, when there's been nothing done for months...

It will be dealt with, whether it's through your idea or not.

...Why can't you look beyond it? You can't talk to me until you know how that will resolve? Legato's fate is not the end-all be-all of your world, so why? You haven't heard a word I've said and are focusing on him, instead.

Why?

[Rin stares at him briefly, blankly. Why? She doesn't even really know that either - maybe it's still some kind of frenetic hope, residual Stockholm syndrome such as it is, or just being used to being the person that Legato used to go to with his problems and horrible injuries, so that when push comes down to shove with him she's inclined to want to take part.]

What?

[she's stretching his already limited patience, at wits end and having just sort of pulled his head together from wherever it's been since Lilith had gone.

he shakes his head, a coil of some tight tension in his stomach, his voice dropped down to a murmur.]

...If Legato is... all that matters to you, then... maybe you were right.

Maybe you were better off on the loss having forgotten you care about anything at all.

[it doesn't feel like a stretch, right now.

he turns back for the door, moving to click it quietly shut behind him as he heads into the hall.]

[That gets to her at least, so she steps quickly after him and raises her voice, frustrated and upset in her turn.] Abel!

[any other time, he would have stopped. but as far as he's concerned, this conversation is finished; she can do as she pleases if playing with monsters is more important than anything else. she didn't hear a word he'd said... not a single one... ;(

so, this time, he just keeps walking.]

[She stares after him but...

Well. That went all wrong. And yet. She feels terrible and burned clean and galvanized. Maybe that kind of burn was what she needed, she thinks? She doesn't know.

She'll drop a filter to him later. For now she lets him go.]
