goalsides: (How can I help it)

[...he tilts his head, his own confusion rippling through.]

You're still a person, you know? [...] And I didn't really believe a word of your villain speech.
goalsides: (It's been one week since)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-11 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Does it really matter what I think about it? You have your reasons, and I'm not you. I can guess, but...

[...he enters the room and shuts the door.]

...it probably hurt to think that someone you trusted was doing stuff like this, right? Isn't that why you lashed out at Otome-san, too?
goalsides: (But your head gets dumb)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-11 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ah? he has other guesses, but he's not going to share them.]

...so what was it? Will you tell me?
goalsides: (Big like LeAnn Rimes)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-11 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
I think it matters to you. [frankly.] And maybe it is, but...I think you've had a pretty bad day.

[A MASSIVE UNDERSTATEMENT.]

...I'm not great at talking about stuff, but just...you know. If you want. [because he doesn't think everyone will talk to her in a way she'll be receptive to. there's no pity here. it's just mild curiosity, and some strange kind of understanding.]
goalsides: (Where mine got its start)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-11 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[CATRA.

...there's sort of a laugh, not entirely amused but a little awkward and unsure.]


Yeah. I've heard that before.

[but apparently it doesn't change any of what he said.]
goalsides: (I'm not a coward)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-11 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[it's called friendship, kitty cat]

...you're right. It wasn't. This place hasn't been fair for a long time. [...] Were you trying to help her by setting her free?
goalsides: (I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-11 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[mmm...a hard choice, sometimes. he doesn't make her look at him but he keeps talking.]

Did you get a chance to tell her why?
goalsides: (You'll always know)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-11 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's watching carefully.]

We had wondered if she would. A few of us thought maybe she would have been expecting it enough since she had been ready to die last week. It was debatable if she would have let someone do it though. I think even if you're ready to die, actually doing it is still something you don't want to just accept right away.

[his eyes linger on her arm, trying to determine if it's just an act of nervousness.]

Did she hurt you?
goalsides: (But for the grace go I)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-11 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[all of us: we're not making catra strip
catra: >_>]


Ah. Yeah, that would make sense. That sword's no joke. [...] Are you okay? We can try to clean it up if you want now that the trial's over.
goalsides: (Since you looked at me)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-11 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're sure. [he's not going to push it then.]

...I still don't think what you did was...[he pauses to think of his words.] Nothing about this place has been good to any of us. I think I can understand why you did it.

[he kind of wishes she hadn't because he liked byleth but...]

It's why I voted for Otome-san.
goalsides: (You think it's strange)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-11 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[he raises an eyebrow.]

Were you really, truly actually intending on killing her? Or were you lashing out because everything was too much?
goalsides: (Dropped your arms to your sides)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-11 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[there's a reason we debated making yamato shapeshift into catra and it's because they're the same damn person, and taichi has realized this, vaguely.]

...Otome-san doesn't want to live this way. Just like Byleth told me she takes no pleasure in killing other people. The people who are chosen for this job are people that deserve better, even if that choice means ending things for them.

["thank you for finally catching me" she had said. that's gonna haunt him for a while.]

But...then everything happened after that. [with adora. so maybe it is better they voted for catra after all.]
goalsides: (Make you hang around)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-11 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[stop we got otome-fingies at the same time and it was all over.

he goes quiet, too, as he thinks about that. it's pretty obvious that he's worried about the next week and what that means for otome, even just judging by his body language and the way he folds his arms over his chest.]


...I don't know. I hope...that people understand a little. I'm going to do everything I can to protect her. I know she's technically the bad guy right now, but I think there's still more we need to understand before making a call.

I just want to try to make things easier for her however I can. [whatever that may mean.]
