Re: audio

Thanks, but I should be all right. You might want to get someone to look at her arm; I just want my shit back.

[A long sigh -- he absolutely doesn't want to admit this to anyone right now, but Arthur has struck him as trustworthy, and he's going to rely on that:]

Especially that pendant she took. Personal keepsake.

I will get it back for you. Every single thing.

I know you're law. And you know I ain't. But this ain't right to me, neither.

Two knives and one pendant, a little jade ball with a silver setting.

Look, Arthur. Law or no law -- I think you and I would agree on what's right most of the time. And if Tess is pulling this kind of shit over me ruining her blood plans, she's way off the rails.

[stand_unshaken]

Yeah. Don't I know it. [He sounds tired, most of all. Worried.]

I'll leave you be.

[And he does - until the next day, when he sends him a message:]

She can give me your things, in exchange for the handkerchief. I assume the blood's already washed off?

[wildguardian]

It's clean. I'll drop it by your room in a few.

[And he will; the handkerchief's folded and tucked in an envelope. He's attached, in a spirit of deep sarcasm, a stick-on bow to the outside.]

[He finds it after Yunlan's already left, and sends him back:]

You're a real gentleman.

[wildguardian]

Sure. Tell me when she's ready to return what she took.

[stand_unshaken]

He doesn't - not directly. He just gets Yunlan's things back, then puts them in front of his door and knocks before sending out:

Things are on your doorstep. Do me a favor, just stay away from her for a while.

[wildguardian]

Gladly.

I appreciate your help.
