[ Good. Niah would be huffy if he wasn't greeted proper. He gives Polaris one lick. ]

Did you think what I said was out of place?

[ Joonghyuk's expression is the same... Schooled and neutral despite whatever Niah does to out his actual feelings. ]

[callalilies]

No. I did say that I refused to die pathetically. I said that.

[ he lifts his eyes. ]

I must remain a man of my word.

[ always best greetings for mr. niah. he'll just stick closer than usual. sticky wolf. ]

[malewife]

And you have.

[ He takes steps closer so he's in front of Kaeya. The wolves can stick close, bundled together like it's cold here. ]

Do you regret it?

[callalilies]

I regret only that in trying to do what I did I only prolonged his suffering.

[ he folds his arms. ]

I'll find out who did this to him.

[malewife]

You mean the poison.

[ He checks Kaeya's tea. How do you live like this? It's cold. ]

What will you do when you find them?

[callalilies]

[ he just kept staring into it and it started to stare back and now it's cold, okay yjh? ]

Ask them why they did it.

It's what Rochalízo would have wanted me to do. Show them the compassion I demanded Alisaie show him when she went at him during trial.

[ It is bad tea. You will not drink this. He puts it aside. ]

You are too soft-hearted.

[ He goes to brew more tea, properly steeped and hot. Here. ]

[callalilies]

It was a final request.

[ he holds the hot mug in his hands and will actually take a proper sip this time. ]

Who am I to deny that?

[malewife]

[ He stays quiet for a moment. A final request... ]

As long as you don't beat yourself over all of this.
