[ popcorn doesn't seem to mind lavi as much nowadays - he's still easily spooked and him even sitting on the floor would've terrified him a week ago, but now, he just stays on the bed. progress? slow progress!
that's the cute thing. otherwise, he looks up at lavi from under his brow, a second late, like he was probably disassociating a little.
... and then he makes a soft noise, a little wounded, and shakes his head. ]
No.
[ it's always like this, isn't it? (captain turan's voice. we lost contact while you were...) ] Did you?
She took care of me a little, when we came back - brought me a cloak for my arm.
[ :(
the bookstore, though... that checks out. he huffs, a little, though it's humorless, and looks down at the book again. ]
...She really... you know, she signed it for me? Her book. It was a little bit of a joke - because I said I was going to be her biggest fan. [ lu bixing opens up king bileygr to the back cover - sure enough, there's a signature. ]
...If this is the pattern we're going to see here, I'm already tired of it.
[ETO.... Lavi would crack a smile, and he does -- a little, soft and unsure, before it fades.]
...We won't know until tomorrow. Could be that someone aimed right for her, could be that they were on the defensive instead. Knowing the reason won't change anything, but... it's important that we know. For Eto.
[ the defensive thing rings true. look they all saw eto go a little unhinged at the end of trial last week.
... still. the conversation she had with lu bixing afterwards stuck with him, in the stubborn way that people often do. he folds his hands, setting them on the cover of the book, and takes a deep breath. inhale...exhale. ]
If we have to go through all of that again, then I think it's paramount that we solve it. I wish - it'd be nice, to not have to have the follow through of Sunday. [ can't we just throw people in jail - lbx, probably ] ...But, I'd like to solve it anyway. We should start thinking of places to investigate soon.
Cosmos -- er, Nameless and Tuuri said Eto stayed at the bookstore with them.
[Lavi would also prefer jail, anything other than that performance that reminds him too much of what Road once did to him. He rubs at his face, which also has a bruise on it, I forgot to mention help]
No propped open doors though. Plus, Eto doesn't seem the type to just wait there.

...Wasn't with her this time. Micah -- Nameless said she stayed at the bookstore with him last night.
[...]
Last time I talked to her properly was during the performance.

[ she's too smart for that. ] And we've got broken glass, again, too.
[ ALSO, LAVI? IS IT A NEW BRUISE? HELLO? maybe he just noticed now it's fine. ]
...What happened to your face?
no subject
He waves a hand like he can wave the question away, averting his gaze]
Got into a fight last night. Not a serious one though. It only looks bad because I passed out on the floor right after.
