Roadie šŖ¶Jack Itās clear his mood wasnāt directed at Viper, at least (for now), but it still wasnāt a pleasant subject. āSleep specifically Iām not sure, but⦠Heās always been a nervous child, so I can see how that couldāve gotten out of control with less reassurance. Did Amiraā¦ā
Viper takes the chance, since nobody else seems to want to, and opens her mouth in response to this.
āY-ā Is all she manages to get out before sheās very quickly shut up by Abel. He takes over, and she narrows her eyes at him, squinting as if being grumpy about the fact that he had denied her the chance to so normally and nicely tell Jagalās father that not only had his daughter died, but his wife too.
Roadie šŖ¶Jack Mathias continued to listen, but this very quickly devolved into complete nonsense. His boy? Stabbing? Biting? No no no. Just look at him sleeping there, heās a perfect little angel. He must have had a rough time of it, sure, but he wouldnāt have gone around stabbing people all of a sudden. He could barely work up the nerve to talk to them half the time. Mathias wasnāt sure what the point of lying about this would be, but it couldnāt have been true.
He pinched the bridge of his nose. āIām⦠sure thereās been some kind of misunderstanding.ā Had they somehow misidentified their opponent completely? Or maybe it had been an accident? That would explain the biting much better. Clearly someone had gotten that poor guy. But Jagal? On purpose? No. Ridiculous.
āOh no, I donāt th-ā The nudge from Abel has her grumbling and trailing off in an instant, and instead she shrugs. āI dunno. Maybe he was just havinā a bad day, yeah.ā Try telling that to your arm and Abelās nose, Viper! She didnāt really know what to ask now, without sounding like the worldās biggest jerk. Instead, she settles on.
āā¦Yeah, he did⦠seem pretty nervous and flighty as a kid. We⦠met a younger version of him, cute kid. I guess weāre jusā tryinā ta figure out what, like, happened? Did he ever seem⦠neurotic? Whilst ya guys were alive?ā Just what could she ask that theyād have more insight onā¦
āEver struggle with any kindāa⦠visionsā¦? Hallucinations? General paranoia outside of the chronic shyness?ā Sheās doing her best.
