[He sips his tea, finally.]

The both of us thinking on it at this hour isn't going to do you any favours, either.

[third_liberator]

[ Tyr keeps holding his cup just to enjoy the warmth. He hasn't even realized that he forgot to cover his hands; they have more important things to focus on. ]

It's a good a time as ever to think about it, though...

[fontastically]

I have to wonder why is it...that they were killed.

[He lowers his cup after a moment.]

[third_liberator]

...

[ He looks down at his tea, his voice turning softer. ]

There are a lot of reasons someone might do this...but all at once like this, it can't be natural.

[fontastically]

Maybe they knew something. Or it's another experiment.

[Ion looks down at his own tea.]

It's cruel.

[third_liberator]

[ Tyr glances over at Ion. He wishes he could do something, but he knows that's not possible. ]

This is too far for an experiment, but... [ It's just as possible as them being murdered to make a point, because they knew something they shouldn't. ]

...What kind of person is the landlord anyway?

[fontastically]

I can't say that the Lessor is even a person.

[third_liberator]

[ With that, he looks at Ion fully. ]

What do you mean?

[fontastically]

[He keeps his head down for now.]

The Lessor may be more than one person or something different entirely.

[third_liberator]

...

[ Tyr sighs and finally takes a drink of his tea though he hardly tastes it. ]

That's possible... We don't know what he looks like, sounds like... He really might not be human at all.

[ Thinking of this makes him feel sick. How are they supposed to do something if they don't know anything? ]

[fontastically]

There isn't any concrete evidence to say what the Lessor is.

[He forces himself to sip his tea again.]

[third_liberator]

[ Tyr goes ahead and takes another drink himself. ]

...Maybe there's some kind of hint in something he said... We know enough to say he's familiar with Earth and some of its countries.

[fontastically]

I can't say that I have seen anything distinguishable of my own home, here. But it doesn't explain how people who aren't from an Earth are present.

[He glances over at Tyr, lowering his cup. It is not completely dark as Tyr had turned on a light for the two of them but there isn't any explanation as to why something hadn't occurred to him. Instead of simply staring, he's going to actually-]

Tyr, you... aren't wearing your gloves.

[third_liberator]

Earth might just be his favorite place... If there are multiple people involved, it's possible they're from several different worlds...

[ This was becoming a productive conversation until Ion changed the subject. He wasn't...

It connects for him then, Tyr grimacing and turning pale because of his own carelessness. He moves his left hand over his right as he lowers the cup - and his hands- to his lap. ]

...I forgot. [ He'd say sorry, but the only one who deserves that is Ted.

But then, it wasn't as if Ion would recognize the rune. Right, he was overreacting. ]

[fontastically]

[He had looked on long enough to feel that he can recall the shape for future use. If anything, he needs to be the one apologising. Ion leans over to set his tea down before he urges himself off the couch. It isn't as though there is any fear but he saw Tyr's face. He knows that the other doesn't want anyone so close to such a thing. But he is going to be quick to get his jacket from where Tyr had hung it up to return and hold it to Tyr.]

It is big for me so it may be the same for you.

[Meaning some cover up for Tyr's hands, right?]</small

[third_liberator]

[ Seeing Ion stand, Tyr set down his own cup and leaned forward to watch Ion move. That was... Was that it? It looked like Ion was going to leave-

Until he returned with the jacket, and Ion's words made his intentions clear. ]

...

[ He wordlessly took the jacket from Ion and pulled it on, still looking away from Ion. When he stood and took his jacket, he was sure Ion was going to leave. That he couldn't trust Tyr now.

If he didn't feel foolish for worrying about Ion before, he did now. Ion was a true friend. Always honest, always trusting, always respecting him. Thinking of that, he looked back up at the other boy with a softer expression. ]

...Thanks, Ion...

fuck coding and fuck the keyboard

[fontastically]

[He slowly sits himself down by Tyr again, just where he feels he should be.

It would be ridiculous to not think highly over Tyr simply because that he had a secret. Ion is not currently aware of details and even with finally seeing the rune is not enough of a reason to walk away. Tyr hasn't tried to bring any harm on anyone, before, so what is the point of thinking like that? Tyr is only trying to protect something.]

It isn't something you need to thank me for.

[third_liberator]

[ He shakes his head. ]

You didn't need to do this... I'm grateful...

[ He's an amazing friend.

Still, they had more important things to take about. ]

Anyway... We still have more to speak about. About the Lessor...

[fontastically]

[As far as Ion is concerned, it was necessary. It makes things easier for Tyr with how things currently are.]

...There's a possibility that the Lessor may not be the one who killed those people, isn't there?

[third_liberator]

[ It isn't as though Tyr needs more to worry about. ]

It's possible, but if he didn't do it, he at least gave his consent. Normal citizens can't transmit videos to the TVs.

[fontastically]

You're right.

[It must be the lack of sleep getting to him.]

The Lessor must be involved. But I still don't understand why he would choose to kill his own illusion of a happy society.

[third_liberator]

I don't either...

[ He picks up his tea cup again, this time with the jacket's sleeves covering his hands. ]

Maybe it's just a whim of his...like putting us on boats and islands.

[fontastically]

It's another way for him to express his power. [He pauses.] Putting the community's sensibility on the line.

[third_liberator]

[ Tyr turns his cup in his hands nervously. ] It's like we're just jokes to him...

[fontastically]

That's more than likely the case. [He glances at Tyr once again.] What do you think it's best that we do?

[Sitting and watching has possibly lead up to this. Not that he's going to take his time to fret over it now. There are other things to take care of.]
