don't go breaking my heart
[Well. All that sure happened!
Brett hasn't done much for one of these post-trial gatherings thus far, but he's been trying very hard to be functional lately, and...well, the fact that so many other people aren't okay right now just makes that all the more important. So he'll go around telling people, or slipping notes under doors if need be:]
We're going to have some food at the bar, if anyone wants it.
- Brett & Joy
[It feels a little weird to have it there, but...let's be honest. He expects quite a few people will be passing through the bar of the own accord tonight. They may as well not drink on empty stomachs.
There's not a ton going on. Brett's figured out how to turn the light-up dance floor off - it seemed a little inappropriate. Despite being hosted at the bar, Brett hasn't actually set out any alcohol; there's tamagoyaki and a big vat of chicken noodle soup sitting on some tables in the middle of the room, as well as tea for anyone who wants a drink that isn't alcoholic. Everyone who does want to drink can serve themselves. Also, someone has draped a rainbow pride flag over the bar? It seems appropriate given who's throwing the party, at least, and he didn't really have it in his to stop Joy, so.
You're free to turn on some music, if you want. Brett couldn't pick anything out on the jukebox, it seems.]

Jonathan is quiet for a long time after hearing that. Words fail him as he just sits there, taking in Nandor's speech.
His voice is quiet when he finally speaks.]
You... truly care about me?
no subject
Was it not obvious? Yes, Jonathan, I have grown to have some affection for you, it is not that big a deal.
[ It was definitely not obvious! But Nandor is the kind of guy who goes around the world thinking his feelings towards others are known without ever stating them to said others. ]
no subject
Then, he stands up, giving Nandor a tearful smile.]
Oh Nandor, I knew I had a good feeling about you! I have affection towards you as well.

[ HE... ASSUMES... ]

[There is a pause, as a look crosses his face.]
Dear Goodness, I can't believe I'm defending a murderer.
[He doesn't sound upset or anything, just baffled that he's gotten to this place.]

You are doing that because you are fond of me. Which is understandable, but it is not necessary to justify my actions simply because they have not done harm to you personally.
