[ Cain's in the Promenade of Reflexion. He's staring at Hwylryn's statue, arms crossed, frown on his face.

Even if they have touched already today, he recognizes Bradley's gait pretty well by now. He glances over at him in his approach. ]

[ Cain's gaze turns to him, regardless, and he'll squeeze his hand back. ]

...I dunno. I feel like...I could've done things differently. I could've done more.

[ About, well. Everything. ]

You okay?

[ Cain's eyes drop the glossy floor, his brows furrowed.

Keep moving forward—that's the one thing he's good at. He's not going to forget Siffrin (assuming their pattern of remembering the loops holds going forward), but he'll be ready for whatever the next week brings. That he knows.

But everything else? That's where they differ.

He looks back up at Bradley again. ]


What would you have done?

[ Cain stares at him for a moment, evaluating him...

They're total opposites when it comes to this sort of thing, that he knows. But it's because he's stared down the end of Bradley's gun and survived that he has the courage to acknowledge it. ]


...It's not. [ He turns to face him fully. ] I want to know what you would've done.

[ A talk, huh. Yeah, he's got stuff to say.

Cain turns to leave, following Bradley. And when they're past the threshold— ]


What is it?

I don't know.

[ An honest answer. ]

I think he can be dangerous if he wants to be. He's called himself a monster and a killer, and I believe him.

[ ... ]

He reminds me a little of Owen.

...He talks like that sometimes.

[ Not usually when there's other people around, but. ]

Bradley... Are you worried he's going to hurt me?

I know. My duty to Akira comes before anything else.

[ He must've seen the way he rejected Yoru the night before, but...

That worries him, too. ]


...You don't think he's going to try and kill someone to come with us, do you?

[ Cain looks down at himself... That's a lot of blood. ]

Could I borrow clothes from your suite?

[ THANK GOD he really doesn't want to go back to Water Lily right now!

Following Bradley, but is quiet. ]

All right.

[ Cain isn't shy around Bradley, so he'll just start peeling off his mystery costume and start throwing on whatever he can find in the wardrobe—mostly the same noble frilly stuff he's been wearing most of the time he's been here.

He'll fish some of the evidence out of his old pockets, grab something from another pocket and start fiddling with his ear. ]


...Bradley...

[personal profile] uiscebeatha 2025-04-05 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's done changing, repocketing the evidence, now with a silver twist earring on his right ear.

Still, he's pensive. ]


Ish said we'd be done on Sunday, right? That's...so far away. How many people are we going to lose before then?
