[ literally dont know how we haven't pc'd til now. anyways lin jingheng is smoking in the void and scrolling through his phone looking like he is ready to throttle someone. but like. probably not immediately.
gideon is... okay, but the way everybody has reacted today is how she felt when it came to eto. so - when she finds him sitting here smoking, she comes to sit down, pushing her glasses up on her forehead.]
You cared, huh. [it's not mean or teasing or accusatory, just... flat, like. confirming that he's upset.]
[ unless we discover a pile up tomorrow and there are two other bodies out there somewhere.
anyways. he doesn't know or think that and instead just stretches out his legs and crosses them at the ankles, leaning back. everything suuuuucks. his shoulders do ease up a teeny bit, if only because man this is exhausting. ]
I kind of like some of you suckers. [...] Oh, hey, while I'm at it - don't kill anybody. If I have to watch Lu Bixing melt into a puddle on the floor because you got caught for murder, I'll kill you myself.

Hell! It's a hellish place, surprising everybody. [she rubs at her face.] I guess we'll find out, right? That's what always happens.

[ he tilts his head a beat, thinking ]
We'll have enough hands on deck.

I'll do as much as I ever do. Mystery solving isn't my bag, but I won't just sit to the side.

It's going to be harder for them to hide this time.

[this is only half serious. and half a joke.]

Deal.
Don't go doing anything like murder either. If that sword on a chain is anything to go by, we'd just have to look for something ridiculous like that.
[ it's... a joke... ]
