I tried to get through to you

[archboxer]

[You know what that was? A fiasco. That was an utter fiasco. Three more people gone on a chance that may not happen! This is horrible. Even if some people dislike her, Rhea... is up to the challenge once more. This time she does it nearly herself: writing out the invitations, ordering the food and telling everyone to meet at the bar. In Ema's honor, of course.

She hands out the invitations herself and if she can't find you, she'll slide yours under your door.]

What...kind of question...?

[blackmass]

...

[What, indeed.]

It's nothing you need concern yourself with.

[nothingcanstop]

...That's too far? Too much for tonight?

[blackmass]

I wasn't aware I gave off the impression of someone willing to share their secrets. Least of all in a place like this where they might be used against us all.

[nothingcanstop]

Well, we seemed to be having a...if not lovely, enriching conversation. It's the first time I've really felt I could start to...well, get to know you.

[blackmass]

Now, there's no need to go to such effort.

[Which was said...about as casually as most things Kirei said, even the more alarming things like talking about corpses in shark tanks.]

You can't understand me.

[ It's been a ridiculously long day and Della is Tired. But, she still cocks her head to the side, sizes him up, and just says: ]

Maybe not. But there's no reason not to try, now, is there?

[blackmass]

There are many reasons not to, in fact. One may not wish to examine some things too closely, lest they find themselves unable to face up to the discovery.

[nothingcanstop]

For some people, I guess. But, I'm not really one of them.
