I don't think it'll change much for us, since it already happened, but...I don't know. Feels kind of cruel to expect him to go back after all this. I at least want to make sure he survives to the end to make his own choice.
I know. [ He trusts Bradley that much!! Please praise him for that also. ] But we need to make sure we don't accidentally incriminate ourselves, either.

[ He looks up at Bradley. ]
You, too.

Like how the stab wound Siffrin gave me was enough when Shiv died. Or how I had a sword, and I could've fit the armor in that first case.
Let's be careful.

You think someone in our group last night killed? Or is this a confession?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-05 04:56 pm (UTC)What? No, I— You know I'd never kill. You know I'd never take the easy way out for anything with a wish.
[ Much less with a wish that would 100% piss Owen off! ]
We don't know anything yet. I just want us to get out of here in one piece.

You were missing a button on your jacket this morning.
[ The way his brows knit look more like worry, if anything. ]

Date: 2025-04-05 05:13 pm (UTC)[He immediately goes over to his closet to check his jacket. Yep, that sure is missing a button.
He sort of stares at it for a few moments as an idea formulates in his mind.]
Did anybody else see you pick it up?

Bradley, what's going on?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-05 05:27 pm (UTC)[He puts the jacket back in his closet and shuts the door.]
Only us two and the killer would know exactly which button is missing. We can use that to figure out who the killer is.

Date: 2025-04-05 05:39 pm (UTC)I have your back. They made a mistake trying to frame you.
[ Steps forward to hold out his hand. Shake? ]
We're in this together.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-05 05:41 pm (UTC)Yeah, we're in this together. We'll find the rat bastard who did this and tried to force the blame on someone else.
Don't mention my jacket at all during trial though. Wait for someone else to bring it up. The killer's gonna want the evidence traced back to me.

It's okay, I ain't goin' nowhere. It takes more than a frame job to take down Bradley Bain.
