[That being said, though - she isn't sure she would have been happy if it was anyone else, either. The dangers of being friendly - or at least not unfriendly - with pretty much everyone remaining.]
I am sorry.
[NHS and WWX knew each other - so this must be tough for him, too.]
[THAT SURE IS A DANGER ISN'T IT!! Wei Wuxian looks over at their remainders and can't think of a single person that he wouldn't be at least mildly upset to lose. Terrible.
Though he glances over at the apology, looking a little surprised.]
[THERE'S NO GOOD WAY OF BEING LIKE "actually I'm not that surprised", so he just offers Flayn a little smile.]
...He would like to know someone out there wanted that.
[Since he knows that Flayn plans on going to see him later, too.]
Even though he did this, he isn't-- [A bad person. Not really. He just... is a very human person, like most of them.] ...It's just good, that not everyone would give up on him.
[Well, whether everyone did give up on him or not - the fact is he's most likely going to die tomorrow. (If not in the execution ring, then as soon as he sets foot outside of it, she thinks - and then immediately feels guilty for the thought.)]
I wish we knew why, but... I do not imagine he is willing to say.
[Yeah, he's pretty much 100% certain that Nie Huaisang is a dead man, any way it's sliced. Which is unfortunate, but it's not like he did what he did without knowing the risk existed. He sighs.]
I doubt he'll say, mm. I'll still talk to him about it anyway.
[He does seem sympathetic, nodding a little in response.]
And if it helps to talk about it, then we can - but if all it's doing right now is turning your mind in circles, maybe it's best to take a small rest from all the thinking.
[Flayn is a blessing upon them all and if anyone kills her Wei Wuxian will personally lose his shit on the camp. This is his murder duckling now, unfortunately.]

I'd have preferred if it wasn't him, too.

Whatever for?

[Tomorrow is going to be even less easy.]
...I wanted to find proof of his innocence, but - there was none.
[Because he was guilty.]

no subject
[Although, from what he was saying at the trial, she can't help but think it probably won't.]
no subject
--Well. Knowing anything at all would be better than knowing nothing.
no subject
[Other than a desire to play by the rules.]
no subject
[He's not pinning his hopes on Nie Huaisang being the answer, but he'll still ask, just in case.]
no subject
[either way, strong dislike!]

[Multiple people also implies that more and more are slowly jumping on the LET'S STAB bandwagon, which he is not a fan of.]

[If there are repeat killers -
Gods, but she wants them caught.]
no subject
[If it is the same person and they're stopped, who will take on the duty of killing once a week, presuming that rule about a mass death isn't false?]
no subject
[Yeah, she looks pretty worried about that, too. She doesn't seem to know what to say, though.]
no subject
--Let's save that talk for later, mm? We need a little bit of a break after all of that.
no subject
[she manages an apologetic smile in return.]
My apologies. It is difficult, sometimes, not to fall into those sorts of thoughts.

[This time, her smile seems a little less sad.]
Thank you, for reminding me of that. ...it is hard to catch it as it is happening, when you are in the middle of it.
no subject
[BOY DOES HE.]
The best thing to do for it is to have someone else around to give you a little nudge when you need one, mm?
no subject
Yes. Friends who will draw you out of it when your thoughts tend to be dark are precious.
no subject
I hope you have plenty of friends like that.
[It's the very least she deserves, honestly.]
no subject
[They're friends! So there!]
no subject
Hah! Did I? I'm glad I could, then. Now - let me finish cooking this, and I'll give some to you to go with the tea. Later, if you don't want them now.
[Because LIFE IS QUEASY AFTER TRIAL but everyone's gotta eat.]
