[ Jin yips softly, all nine of her tails wagging as she catches sight of Jiji coming over. ]
First the excursion and now today. The days seem to stretch on longer. [ despite getting a lot of finger points, Dokja doesn't seem too stressed out. ]
[ Jin will go for the uninjured hand, gingerly bumping her head against it. ]
..Admittedly, I was a bit worried that people would take up on Yoo Joonghyuk's request to vote for him. [ i forgot to say he still has those wings from the trial, which fluff out a bit from his words. to express some of that anxiousness.]
This isn't the first time I have gotten suspicion thrown on me. It's happened in my last game.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga and I engaged in a wager this week - mostly for mischief. To see on which of us might be able to inspire an anxious expression from you.
I see now that likely none could do so but Yoo Joonghyuk.
[he will pour one for each of them then, offering it to kdj a moment after
also, at the reassurance, mikazuki laughs]
I would not suppose that if you truly did it, you would tell me?
[he shakes his head]
While I possess curiosity... these trials matter little to me. I will do as they ask as per the expectation of the contract, but the results do not amount to justice nor do they soothe the hearts of any who attend. Even if you are truly the murderer, that does not mean you are no longer my friend.
[ he'll hold the cup, merely looking to it before he smiles over to him. ]
Oh, I wouldn't mind telling you. I don't really see the reason for lying after it's been done. [ he glances towards the locket around his neck thoughtfully. ] Killing is one of the means that secures your hostage's safety supposedly. And as tempting as that is, I would rather gather information first just to be sure.
[ ... friend. he blinks at that, as if not expecting it, and looks down. hm. he's always had complicated feelings about that term. ]
I share your thoughts on that. These trials, the executions.. they don't mean much to me. As long as it is not my companions on the line, I don't really like to be forced to play at another's game. I've done that enough back home.
[ he makes a slight face, brows furrowing. ] Course, there's not much one can do if a shadow possesses you. But if it works like the angels possession in my previous game then it might just be a one and done.
[ ... ]
..But, if you do happen to murder, I wouldn't look at you any different. Though I wouldn't take it lightly if it happens to be that man. [ just say your husband fool ]

Mm... a drink seemed in order.
I was curious if you would find yourself wishing for one as well.

[ he offers a smile, reaching to scratch Jin under her muzzle as she flops in front of them both. ]
It's alright if you still think me to have been the one to kill. I won't hold it against you. I've been hard suspected in my previous game.
