[ relatable content. phoenix hesitates -- because he's a gross burn victim, and they're not that close, but he scooches a little closer and puts an extremely mittened hand on her shoulder. ]

...Me, too.

[ doesn't look it though, does he? ]

It's hard. But I think we can do it.

...

[she doesn't flinch away from his hand, but her gaze stays on the bonfire.]

I hope that we can. If we all work together, we should... be able to do so, I hope. But... [she hesitates.] ...well, we shall see what happens tomorrow. But I do think there will be some who are very focused on bringing his killer to justice, at any cost.

[slobjection]

I wouldn't call it justice.

[ he'll just leave his super gloved hand there, then. for as long as she tolerates it. ]

... But yeah. That's my impression, too.

[fishingforcompliments]

...but they would.

[and that's what they need to be careful of, probably. she isn't sure what exactly tomorrow is going to bring, but -

well, she certainly cannot blame anyone else for being angry.]

[slobjection]

Would you?

[ he sounds mild when he asks. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[she shakes her head]

There is no justice in following this place's rules.

[slobjection]

Maybe you can help me cool them off if they get too hot-headed, then.

[fishingforcompliments]

...I can try to.

[...]

I was not terribly good at keeping my own cool last week, however. But I will try.

[slobjection]

I have faith in you.

[ and then everything went to shit.. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[it, uh, it sure did. holy crap.]

...thank you, Phoenix.
