I don't know about that! Did you see the look on their faces?!

Half of 'em don't know what decision to come to, and the other half are shady! Well, I'm just talking about the doctor, though.

[He just thinks Rideaux is weird, even if he was mildly helpful last week. Just because a doctor is helpful doesn't make him trustworthy, let him tell you that from!! Experience!!!!]

[fabulation]

Hm? Oh, I did certainly notice the looks on their faces.

[ Just because that didn't exactly escape from what he can see. ]

I suppose I'd hoped that they'd take the same risk again, though.

[ ...which probably says a lot about Xingqiu's general levels of faith in people, probably. ]

[unsinksyourship]

I could see the half-naked guy and the other guy taking a risk? Mostly the half-naked guy. I think.

[He's still not sure which in that group is actually the lead so. Who knows??? The guy with clothes was the one actually stating a plan of action. Still...]

Not so sure about the other two, either.

[He doesn't mind Julius but it's hard to get a read on him!!]

[fabulation]

Mm.

I suppose in the end, it's really hard to say what choice they'll make.

[ But he's still very unwilling to exact violence on what he perceives to be other innocent people and that is what it boils down to. ]

Still, we've more or less already voiced out loud that we're going for cooperation. To go back on our word wouldn't be just, or right.

[unsinksyourship]

This is somehow worse than dealing with the Irregulars Regiment...

[Half-grumbled to himself but it's not actually that much of a complaint, he's just being himself and complaining for the sake of complaining. There's a half-smile, exasperated, there and gone again in an instant.]

You know the point of the game is saying one thing and maybe doing another, right? Not that it's that good a game, so I don't care about the rules that much. I'm just saying...

[undertakings]

If they decide to betray, then the rest of the teams will know they aren't to be trusted.

[Not that he's saying he super trusts them not to, but if they're practical they can at least see why it would be a bad idea.]

[cloudalike]

Yes, we have far more important trials to come as group if we are to escape this situation. We should not throw away our honor so easily to avoid minor injuries.

[ But it helps that he knows Xingqiu can handle injuries as well as he can. ]

[unsinksyourship]

There's no honor in getting eaten by those crazy traps, you know that, right?!

[Tamamori just shakes his head like, honor?? Dignity?! He has adjacent concepts (occasionally) but they do not quite apply here.]

So... it's peer pressure? We're going to trust in peer pressure?

[That's not what they said but it's fine.]

[cloudalike]

Peer pressure? Oh no, this is a discussion. You're free to state your case.

[unsinksyourship]

Not on me, on them! We’re talking about them!!

[If he’s more scattered than usual it’s because A. He’s more nervous and glancing around at their setup than before, though he’s doing his best to play it off, B. These shindigs(!) are too early in the morning and C. His player is hungry and cannot word.]

[cloudalike]

I... trust them, not the peer pressure. I trust that our relationships are more important than... [ Whatever this is?? ]

[unsinksyourship]

Trusting people too much is a great way to get your lunch stolen! And your things thrown in rivers! And your drinks switched out with glue!! Humanity's darkness is deep -- and creative, too.

[He says this pompously somehow???? What's with all these hyperspecific examples.]

[teidaisei]

[ Let it be known he is just smiling Wickedly here, completely innocent as a newborn babe~ ]

[unsinksyourship]

[HE CAN SENSE THAT EVEN WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT, YOU KNAVE. YOU DEMON.]

[undertakings]

[Honor... honestly means very little to him because plenty of people don't play by any rules but their own, but he does agree with needing to work together here.]

I'll admit that I didn't think they'd use these sorts of traps though. If someone's left too injured to move, would that basically count as forfeiting your team's turn?

[So auto-betrayal or something...]
