He mentioned that he was going to be working with someone this week, when he talked to me about it on Monday - it was you, then?
[ He's just vibing! He'll come up to the bars and drop to sit opposite him, unlike the last time he was in here and kept his distance from the convicted. ]

[ A nod - this doesn't seem to surprise him, much like him being here didn't surprise Childe. ]
He and I weren't, either, and we were intending to do something next week once we saw who was left after this trial. [ obviously that's not going to happen now! ] Do you know who his killer was?

[ yeah he makes a face at that for the obvious reasons ]
So he killed Aoi, and then it turned out that he was a target, himself. [ he's standing by what he said to Childe on Friday - Mahito died because it was something he hadn't originally entertained as an issue. ] Who?

My kneejerk response would be Gojou, given their obvious history together. [ dryly ]
I have a feeling they had something of a... game they were playing, one that probably would have kept going if Mahito wasn't killed.
[ because why else would that ass pic and gojou's injuries have existed, frankly ]
No one had any injuries that couldn't be accounted for, not that you didn't prove those can't be trusted wholly. Regardless, it would have to be someone that could keep up with him - you said yourself that he was one of the few people that could take you in a fight.
Our fighters seem to often be you, White, Mineo, Endorsi, and Gu Yun, from what I've seen the most.

Gu Yun, who seems perfectly capable despite impairments. [ me, looking directly at sisi innocently sitting on the other living room couch as i have suspected her for like three tags in this thread after she made an offhand comment irl ] And, besides.
Mineo is too forthright and morally aligned towards black and white, right or wrong. Both White and Endorsi don't seem likely, though I know they're both capable enough in their own right. Mostly that I don't think they would give that as a lie.

[ 🤝 ]
She should really consider playing her cards closer to her chest in the future.
[ Speaking from experience - his entire day has been an act, and he's also pissed that Mahito's dead. ]
Killing Gu Yun would be markedly more of a challenge than killing Kaz was. [ ope ] But you've sparred with him before.

[A snort.]
She should, yes. [ALSO SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE. He blinks at the mention of Kaz--he didn't know this?? But then again, this is someone close to Mahito, so. Not surprising.]
I have. I wouldn't be surprised if that glass of his was fake, honestly. It has no bearing on his combat abilities whatsoever. [A sigh.] We've been working together to investigate the bigger picture for quite a while, or else I would've taken him out at the beginning.
[But then Gu Yun killed the flea and lied to his face about it so now all bets are off]

Does she know? That it was him. [ completely unfazed by the blink, and he just twitches his shoulders in a shrug. because - well, he got away with it, and there's more important things to worry about. ]
Mm, that doesn't surprise me. Mahito asked me if I had a no-kill list a few weeks back, and I gave him Gu Yun as one of them, based on his usefulness to the bigger picture. [ because he might not be actively engaging in the bigger picture, and often tries to stay out of the center of attention - this trial excluded, when powers came up - he can also acknowledge that those that are looking at it are still useful. ] Did the two of you manage to learn much, since we got here?

Yes, she figured it out.
[Sorry, Gu Yun. Get on his level of shady bastard.]
Quite a few things, though the rest of the group caught up eventually. [I have no idea if Ming Yi was at that little town hall from a couple of weeks ago, but Childe was just staring into the camera going "thanks for finally catching onto the theories I came up with week zero, guys"] How much do you know?

[ a nod, and a mental note for later to talk to her. see what she intends to do. ]
Most of it has come from the discussions that have happened in public, with the trickle down of information from the trips that people have wound up on. The most recent one is the one that I know the most about - [ for obvious reasons ] - but I haven't actively engaged with any of the theorizing, myself.

[ fun times at fuckmont high!
Here comes Ming Yi into the medbay, once he's certain there'll be fewer people around babysitting Childe. It's been a long day, for more than just the execution, and, well. He really would have been fine either way this went - if they decided to kill him, or if they did this, letting him live.
He doubts it'll be for long. ]
I don't know if congratulations are in order or not.

[Childe has also had a long day, for obvious reasons--he's healed up now, just leaning back against the bed, looking thoughtfully at the ceiling. He turns his head, but doesn't sit up to greet Ming Yi, just lifts his hand in a wave with a soft laugh.]
That makes two of us.
