No, she can take me down and focus on me. Distracts form you.
[also wow let mandi have manlet rights]
Um. Hm. [He really has to think about this for a moment?] I think she might think that I killed Otome because.....hm. Otome killed...Wang Lu? Yeah, I think that sounds right.
So no revenge story... Although it didn't look like she was very bloody, so it seems like her killer took more care into getting rid of her. [ a beat ] I guess if you wanted revenge, you wouldn't have taken the time to bury her, either.
[ this is probably where he'd do a bro nudge or something but malik is weird about touching and also behaving like a normal human so he just stands there awkwardly instead ]

Yeah. Not worth the trouble. [A beat.] She might come after me, too. I think.
no subject
...But what has she got against you?

[He seems very confused about this.]

[ he's noticing that confusion but we'll come back to that in a second. ]

Maybe? I wouldn't really know. I mean, killing is killing? I don't know how I would...well. Um. I wouldn't think too much about that stuff.

You have a sword?

no subject
[ just. completely disregarding mandi's feelings on the topic. ]
no subject
I mean, I could. I can wield the sword like an actual sword. But if she didn't look bloody then I guess that rules some forms of death out.
We'll see tomorrow, I suppose.
no subject
Maybe she died because of Beau? Hehehehehehehehe-- Well, tomorrow. We'll find out tomorrow.
no subject
Malik, you're making the weird noise again.
no subject
wait he can't talk now. give him a second. ]
...Right. Well. I should probably ice my head, Beau punched me pretty hard... I'll see you tomorrow.
no subject
[hold on]
She did what?

[ added, bitterly: ] She's never liked me, so, she took her chance when no one else was around.
no subject
Huh. So she went and just...did that? Out of the blue? [He seems to be struggling to understand.] More reason for you to get behind me, I guess.
no subject
She was upset, I guess, and wanted to take it out on me.
I may take you up on your offer... But you better make sure Lalli is nearby.
no subject
[He says it like a foreign word.]
Okay. I will. Stick by me.
no subject

Take care not to antagonize Beau in the meantime.
no subject
I sure will. It might be hard since I don't know what her anger looks like...but I'll do my best for you.
