[Taako laughs, but in that kind of watery way where you can tell someone’s on the edge of a breakdown a bit? It’s. It’s fine.]

Yeah, what’s up with that? Stop trying to die so hard. It’s really making my life hell.

[ruffboi]

I really did try. I didn't, uh. There's some stuff I couldn't be okay with, but I tried.

I'm not gonna do a stupid plan where I go help you from the graveyard.

[chaoticlootral]

Yeah. I know.

Listen, I’ve been in a graveyard, it wasn’t much help.

[ruffboi]

Yeah.

[Snorting a small laugh.]

Those dumbshits. They were just gonna go murder all their hunches to get a free pass to the graveyard?

[chaoticlootral]

Like, if you’re gonna do that, why not murder each other? You could easily set up a pretty unsolvable murder that way.

[ruffboi]

Yeah. Instead, they dragged Yin Yu into it. Based on the fact their other suspect was me, I'm gonna guess they didn't have shit on him!

[Stupid. Selfish.]

It didn't have to be four people dead. It didn't have to be so fucking terrible for -

[Oops. Never mind.]

[chaoticlootral]

[Immediately, like a fucking bloodhound with a scent, Taako seems to snap to attention at that. Unfortunately, he’s very, very good at sniffing out Magnus’ little quirks and tells.]

. . . You made a sad child promise didn’t you.

[ruffboi]

. . .No?

[No? He didn't? He didn't make any sad promises to someone who's a child.]

[chaoticlootral]

[GETTING IN HIS FACE. Pointing a finger right fucking at him!]

You made a sad promise to someone so soft and squishy you just couldn’t fucking help yourself, didn’t you! Just admit it! Holy shit!

[ruffboi]

I don't know what you're talking about!

[Could he really admit it if he wanted to, though.]

1/2

Shut up for a second, I’ve almost worked this through. Okay, so they’re still alive or you’d be way more bummed out, and they’re also Winter’s team, someone soft . . . someone squishy . . .

[chaoticlootral]

Natalie . . . no, I don’t think so. Dimitri— I think you think he can take care of himself. Definitely not Lili. Damian certainly can fight his own battles.

[ . . . ]

Your partner is Flayn, isn’t it?

[ruffboi]

You think I think Flayn can't fight her own battles? [Tch.] That Dimitri kid's been hanging on by a thread, you know.

[Cannot confirm or deny!!!!]

[chaoticlootral]

Mm. Tiny footprints though.

[ruffboi]

Yeah, well. Can't explain those. Also, dunno what you're talking about with me having a partner in the first place. Maybe she was partners with Sanji or something. I heard a rumor he was a killer.

[Listen this might be pushing it but it's a pretty funny tag.]

[chaoticlootral]

I’ve got no idea what you’re talking about anyway, so, it doesn’t matter.

Unrelatedly, I’m starting to form an idea. Uh. I’ll try and send around a note tomorrow? Don’t be late, okay?

[ruffboi]

Okay. You got it.

[Giving him a small smile. Taako forming an idea is a terrifying thing, isn't it? Somebody should probably be shaking in their boots about now.]
