CRAZY EVENT DAY 3 SHENANIGINS

[It's getting late, you're probably out (but hey, some of you could be safe and warm at home), and aside from the crazy people out, it's pretty much business as normal.

Which means it can be pretty easy to miss the sound of someone else around, or the footsteps that trail off and then come again]

He's been better. That said, he could be worse as well.

You took him back here. Did you mistake him for me?

No, I thought he was working for you. I thought that even if it didn't bring you down there, I'd need him out of the way until I could find you.

[doesn't respond to that for a moment]

You still don't trust me. No, don't say it was just Camp. I can't force you to, after all, and I can't blame you.

I trust that you wouldn't want to, but there's this bit between you being sane and going mental that... Oh for god's sake I even did it! I knew what I could use against him, but I didn't care that it was wrong, I only knew that I needed him out of the way.

That's what I'm worried about, it happening again and that brief period of time when you'll be as sharp as anything, but lack any sort of conscience and see me as a threat.

That's not what I mean. I understand that. To tell the truth, I didn't trust you, either. I asked Felix to keep an eye on you, for your own safety--I just thought he would have had more time to get away. I miscalculated how quickly you would turn on him so this isn't entirely your fault.

No, it's not that...

-I saw myself, Cesare. When he started begging he reminded of me at that time and somehow it became what I thought was... a way to get rid of that bit of me.

...Though that is lovely of you in an odd, vaguely paranoid stalker sort of way.

Don't thank me. It didn't work anyway. We're all just lucky Juan showed up when he did.

I've never been actually glad that someone killed me before.

God, what if he ends up like I was? He's already had a rough time of it, he doesn't need years more of this kind of rubbish.

How do I even start on making it up to him?

You need to apologize to him. If he won't see you in person, then through someone else, and go from there.

Of course I want to, but it's not like I want to go in there frighting him and then give him something that makes it all worse- which really, utterly tactless of you back then, glad to see you've grown out of it.

I was thinking talking by mail until he was fine with me being about, also some sort of gift sent to his room.

I just said not in person... He's not as upset with you as he could be. Whatever gesture you want to make, do it before he changes his mind.

I was planning on doing it when I got in- and then I was going to get a few drinks at the pub. A lot of drinks really.

I'm not sure how safe it is. You weren't the only person affected like that.

Yes, let's worry about the murderer's health, it sure would be a shame if he snuffed it.

Don't make this worse, Shaun. You're not to get yourself killed or put out of commission.

I'm not going to do that, you know me.

[sharp look] I don't have the energy to argue about this with you right now. Do what you will.

No one else is going to be at the consulate if you want some privacy, and there should be some alcohol left over from Juan's party. I suggest you drink there if that is what you need to do.

Right, I'll be there. Let him know I'm sorry yeah? And I'll give you a letter to bring by later.

All right. Do you want me to walk back with you?

[quietly]

Please. I don't think I'm ready to keep going over it in my head.

Of course. [motioning for him to come with him and walking them towards Canada] You're in luck, the only animal that will be in Canada is the bobcat. The hyenas are staying with Harley so maybe their smell will have enough time to air out if we open the windows.

We can only hope.

That reminds me, did I tell you the bobcat will hopefully get an outside enclosure soon?

That would explain the notebooks juan's been leaving about. And here I was thinking that he was having a go at adding on another wing or something like that.

I certainly hope not. I don't trust him to build something that complex.
