I won't be mad if they'd prefer to keep the others alive. But one of those three was my partner. [There's a possessive note there.] I should've looked after him better.
What are you blaming yourself for? There's nothing you could have done. You're not responsible for other people.
[ as for why she's certain... Mainly because she intends on threatening anyone that says otherwise? Probably better not to... Say that out loud, though. ]

[That's literally impossible, Val.]

... I'm just certain.

Date: 2019-06-14 08:52 pm (UTC)He was my partner.
[It's a familiar awful feeling of fucking up so badly that his partner is dead. He didn't promise Toki he'd keep him alive.
But now that he's dead and Val can't promise him anything else-]
The best thing I can do for him now is to find out who his assailant was.
[There's a tired sounding sigh.]
Obviously I'd prefer to stay alive. But if that's not what they want tomorrow then I'll accept it.

Date: 2019-06-14 09:41 pm (UTC)You shouldn't accept it so easily just because someone else says they want to live, too. That's stupid.
[ . . . ]
But... Do you have any guesses about who could have done it? We have nothing to go on right now, but...

There was... Air pressure, wasn't there? A crushing amount of it.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-14 10:08 pm (UTC)... Air pressure... Then anyone with air magic is suspicious.

Date: 2019-06-14 11:06 pm (UTC)[He nods.]
You had the same dream I did, correct?

Date: 2019-06-15 01:22 am (UTC)[ she doesn't tend to expect or project the same moral lines as... most people... but nods at that--they all shared the dream. ]

Date: 2019-06-15 01:25 am (UTC)[Val's morals are just the way they are. But he'll move right along.]
A sense of pressure, crushing and suffocating. I'd be surprised if an air power wasn't used.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-15 01:57 am (UTC)[ Hmm. ]
Then the problem is that no one will want to admit to having air powers.

I'm sure there are some people who already have. Not to the general population but to their partners, at least.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-15 02:07 am (UTC)But no one would want to implicate their own partner, anyway. It would just put themselves in danger, so that's not very useful...
