...better than last week, I think.

[which, like, the bar is truly on the floor there, but.

he doesn't mind her sitting with him either, she is allowed.]

[undread]

[that makes sense; last week was devastating. she can't find herself as shocked and horrified as she was then.]

...Will you still try to solve Camille's death tomorrow, too?

[cumulative]

...no. I don't think that we can afford to spend the time on that, especially if both of them were killed by monsters.

[undread]

I don't think so, either. But this time, we ought to talk in advance about what we will do when we find someone.

[cumulative]

We should. We don't need anyone else to decide that they get to make that choice.

[undread]

But that does mean coming to a consensus on what to do.

[cumulative]

We might not reach one, either, if we try-- but that's likely still a conversation we need to have.

[if nothing else, just to put it out there that he would very much like fewer people to be suddenly knifed.]

I agree. I feel that... we all saw what Vin did to Nona. And no one publicly voiced their disapproval of her choice. So I assumed that option was what we had decided on...

But too many are dying, so if someone wants a different method, they ought to say so openly.

...I didn't disagree with that. Maybe that's hypocritical of me, but... it still feels different.

[he's not sure if there really is a difference, or if he's just unable to disentangle it from the fact that last time it was lucas, lucas who he wanted to protect, who he was so close to pleading with them all not to harm, who he lost before he could get any of the answers he wanted.]

If they have to die, then that's still... what will have to happen, but...

I don't know what the answer should be.

[she can't really see a difference other than just the high emotions in the second situation on multiple sides, but the presence of those feelings does make it feel different.]

I don't think that's hypocritical. Or rather... maybe it is, but I don't think there's any person I would trust who would be completely impartial.

But I do believe we ought to discuss what we're going to do before we identify who the culprits are. We can't allow a repeat of what happened with Aqua, either.

Then, maybe once we go over the usual topics in the beginning...

It might be a good thing to bring up early.

[but fortunately despite overconfidence he can still acknowledge-]

I don't think that I should be doing it, though, or I would offer to help...

[undread]

...I could try, then.

[that's fair, though she does think mathis would be listened to.]

I have my own opinions, but I don't think we should leave things unsaid.
