[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)

[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)

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)

[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)

[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.]
goalsides: (How can I help it)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-13 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
That's why I said technically. I don't think I could have ever thought of her that way either. Mostly because bad guys don't ever feel bad for the things they've done.
goalsides: (Since you looked at me)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-14 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
There's different levels of bad, but I think people have an easier time understanding the ones who at least realize what they're doing wasn't the best action.

Am I wrong?
goalsides: (So much to do)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-18 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, of course they can. But I don't think that's what's going on here and I don't think you believe it either.
goalsides: (3 days since the living room)

...if you're trying to get me to say that you're a villain it's not happening.
