[ he will look at it too for a long moment, still fidgeting. ]
I don't know. I think I mostly have to hope it does not. We shall find out, once trial begins, but ... sometimes we assign meaning to randomness in a way that tries to make sense of the senseless. If the way these monsters operate holds true, then I would not think so.
It is no way your fault, Vin. Even if that were the reason, he made his own decision. And I knew him fairly well and he would be as upset as I to feel you have taken any blame upon yourself.
[ get hugged idiot!!!!!!!!!!! he will just keep her there for a long moment - as long as she seems to want to be in the hug without keeping her captive. ]
Vin, I won't hear you speak of yourself in such harsh terms. You have shown me and others nothing but kindness and friendship here, and to try and take on the blame in addition to that is something you should not have to bear. If it is your fault, then it is mine as well, and we will carry it together.
