[ they are in mirrors because i refuse to have a lead in and i am also making you memshare FIRST (because i spent all day not being able to decide on a memory) full pillow princess mod ]
[ it's hard not to pay attention when the mirrors start playing the memories, though she does an admirable job with the first part. mostly she thinks ah, asexual? aromantic? gay and doesn't know the terms? and thinks nothing else of it.
And Then There's The Rest Of It ]
What was that? Why did she--why was she trying to kill you?
[ Maria is likely one of these things. You go, queen.
Where is the exit!!! He obviously isn't happy. ]
These damn mirrors can't just play me breaking her arm. [ Instead he has to also remember this conversation and what they used to be, which is useless. He... Abandoned that life. ] Who didn't want me dead? I was lord and people were dissatisfied.
[ Mismanagement of dissatisfaction is such an impersonal way to say this. ]
The context kind of helped. [ not that he wants to hear it but, ] I don't know. I get the whole down with the monarchy thing, but--you said you took down the previous lord because of stuff he did. Were they unhappy because of that or because of something else? It almost sounded like you used to be friends before all that.
.... He was worse than me by far, [ At least he thinks so. Who can argue with him right now? ] but it doesn't mean people couldn't be dissatisfied with my decisions. People live in the moment.
[ And so they'd focus on what was bothering them in the moment. ]
And I'm not going to pretend I didn't have a bloody ledger. Maria was only acting on the truth she saw.
[ I am sorry, Gamaliel... He does think the big picture doesn't matter for the event, but it's hard for him to ignore when people want to say something. Sometimes, people should just shut up, but it's more annoying to deal with when they try to mask that... And do it very poorly. ]
It's just what—[ HAHAHAH I AM LAUGHING AT THIS MEMORY ] You...
[ TRIES TO WRAP HIS MIND AROUND IT. WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING... ]
I would not have allowed an audience for such a madman.
[ ASSIGNS CHANDA INSANE he jumps to conclusions because he has to latch onto SOMETHING here. ]
He was nuts. [ just immediately. agreeing to that. ] But my dad thought he could figured out his location from that call. It was the only way to try to prepare against him. Besides, I doubt he would have let us ignore him for too long.
... He did. [ she sounds fond but she also looks at jacopo and just kind of smiles wryly because she can tell how uncomfortable he is and it is kind of funny ] It was a long time ago.
[ so he doesn't have to like. comfort her or anything.
[ girl me being like you don't look that much older
Stop thinking it's kind of funny. Her attempt to alleviate him of responsibility is so obvious that he should be ashamed and he does feel it a bit. He feels a lot of vague things... And wonders if his pitiful excuse for sympathy rings at all.
If only he could have been sound of mind enough to do this with his other encounters, but that'll be something to regret some more later. ]
I'm sorry that he was taken from you so early.
[ And so abruptly because what the fuck was that urgency ]

[ Friend or not. ]
no subject
[ is that true. well she seems to think it is. ]
I don't doubt you did terrible things. But I don't think she had the full picture. Did she?
no subject
[ Real, though. Even those who seek it, the fear will catch them at the end, he thinks. ]
Does that even matter at this point... Where is the damn exit.
no subject
[ she wants a justification or explanation but she is aware he doesn't owe her one, so instead, she starts heading for the exit for real and this will mean nothing to him at all because he has no concept of any of this technology but i think it's a funny memory to share ]

[ You are all working hard and sometimes he doesn't appreciate some locations, but it's still working hard. ]
I don't want to say it has been relaxing here because it is still stressful, but no comparison. [ ... ] All is well when you left?
