[ wherever nie is...... phoenix is going looking for him. ]
Calmer now?
Calmer now?
I think I am, but I can't say much for anyone else...
[he has SO many feelings, god, also-]
I got punched twice and no one even hit me!

There seems to be a lot of that going around.
[ everyone is so excitable. ]
Things worked out in your favor, though.

I'm really not sure if they did, yet.
[he's alive For Now.]
[he's alive For Now.]
For the moment. Though I don't think you're in any more danger with this.
[ like, they're all in danger, but you know. ]
What happened with you and Stefano?
[ like, they're all in danger, but you know. ]
What happened with you and Stefano?
I'm not sure miss Brilith won't kill me over it.
[she was mad, it was scary, he doesn't want to talk to her ever again.]
...what do you want to know?
[she was mad, it was scary, he doesn't want to talk to her ever again.]
...what do you want to know?
It's been a very trying trial. [ ha.... ] She probably just needs some time.
Anything you can tell me. Do you know why he went after you?
Anything you can tell me. Do you know why he went after you?
I have no idea-! He was himself, there shouldn't have been any reason to, besides... besides the lack of sleep. But I don't really seem like a difficult target, I'm sure...
If he was our horse killer from last week..... it seems as though he has his own reasons for killing.
[ he really doesn't. ]
The skull protected you, then?
[ he really doesn't. ]
The skull protected you, then?
-it did. He asked to stick together, but he... eventually gave up on luring me further and just stabbed me. He expected me to die, though, so I had a chance to...
[he trails off, before gathering himself.]
...to surprise him.

...to surprise him.
.... Was this before curfew?
[ phoenix is thinking this over... ]
[ phoenix is thinking this over... ]
No, after... I came across him when I left the conservatory, and he said since we were both awake, we should stay together. To be safer.
You didn't wonder why you were awake..? Or were you anticipating the attack?
I assumed I was awake because I was going to die.
[a little shake of his head, there-]
So it seemed best to stick together... but he started getting more violent with me, trying to push me away from him, and I was too scared to let go-- that was when I thought he might kill me.

Glad you're still with us.
[ he might not sound entirely sincere, but he is. ]
Guess your instinct was right on the mark.

I wish I could be more relieved about that.
[another headshake. sometimes being paranoid and afraid of everything works out?]
[another headshake. sometimes being paranoid and afraid of everything works out?]
I guess it's hard to be relieved about anything in this place.
[ it's probably fine. ]
So you... fought it out. Then what?
[ it's probably fine. ]
So you... fought it out. Then what?
'Fought it out' is a strong term for it...
[he's a noodle, he cannot fight anything out.]
He just- expected me to die when he stabbed me, so I... I took the chance when I had it.

[ wherever nhs is.... phoenix will come looking for him, at some point! with pudding. ]
Hi there. Doing okay?
Hi there. Doing okay?
I'm well enough.
[he's in the art room! looking curiously at that pudding.]
What is that?
[he's in the art room! looking curiously at that pudding.]
What is that?
[ excellent. ]
Pudding. A good snack for fueling artistic fire.... and no drugs involved.

That was only once-! We knew what we were doing-- well, Beau did...
[he made informed decisions on getting high!!]
But we don't have that at home, I think.

I'm only teasing....
[ don't do drugs, nhs. ]
I can't say it's a subject I'm an expert on, myself....
[ don't do drugs, nhs. ]
I can't say it's a subject I'm an expert on, myself....
Oh- no, I mean the food, not the... substances.
[they definitely have drugs! he just doesn't.. use them. except for now, apparently.]
There's so much here that young master Jin and I haven't seen.

Not the best place to broaden your horizons.... but at least something good's coming out of this place.
[ get lit sang ]
You like to paint, though, right?
