Day 3 , post-execution - Yomiel

[murimurimuri]

[Once gain, Simon sends his monkey courier to draw Yomiel aside for a quick chat before curfew.]

I think today went well. You and Paul were both super convincing. I almost believed you myself!

Buuuut... just in case. Is there anything you'd like to tell me while we have the chance? I'm pretty curious how things went with Miss Rin.

Yeah. There'll be a letter in my room for everyone to find. It'll have my results and some general advice in it. Your identity and the details of our plan today, I'm leaving that all up to you to share. All the letter says is I gave you a note to identify yourself with, if you so choose.

I already promised Knightley I'd keep you safe [ or gave him permission to break both his arms if something happened, close enough ], but to be perfectly honest, you're probably going to be better at doing that than I am. [ Dunno if you've noticed, Simon, but "people Yomiel likes" is not a group with a great survival rate around here. ]

[murimurimuri]

So he made you promise...

Sorry about him. That's just the way he is.

[schrodingers_man]

[ Yomiel shrugs casually. ]

I don't mind. I think I'd be more worried if he wasn't concerned. It's a dangerous situation we've found ourselves in.

[murimurimuri]

Yeah...

Well, I know it was risky. But I'm only really in trouble if they scan me, right? And that would have been the same whether I helped you or not. I don't think I've given them any reason to scan me, except for...

[He actually trembles a little at this one.]

...Officer Fulbright.

[schrodingers_man]

WHAT?!

Why didn't you say something earlier?!

[murimurimuri]

[He bites his lip and glances away.]

Because it's personal, and because both you and Horace already suspect him.

[schrodingers_man]

...

[ It's like he said earlier, it's not like there's anything he can do about it at this point. ]

Be careful, okay?

[murimurimuri]

[Should he have said something sooner? But what good would it have done him? It's not like he could trust either one of them to drop more concrete leads for the detective without admitting why he was worried about the guy. Even if he did admit it. No, he couldn't have said anything then and maybe shouldn't have said anything now. Fulbright is a loose end he can take care of tomorrow.]

...Yeah. You too.
