After Trial Mingle

[deadlygoals]

[ Seems like everyone is either hiding from any blood bending, wanting to take the time to think, or just doing their on thing after a trial as long as that one is. So here's a general mingle for after the trial or the rest of the weekend. ]

That's not what I'm here for.

[Speaking through the door is something they can do, so long as Rideaux is listening.]

I was going to ask if you needed food or anything during your seclusion in there. I can understand why you might not want to come out, so if you needed anything from somewhere else I was going to offer to bring it to you.

[ Feeling guilty, huh? ]

That's very thoughtful and everything, but it's not like I'm barricading myself in here. If I want food I can go and get it myself; I'd just prefer not to be bothered as long as I'm here.

...alright, I just wanted to offer. I won't bother you further, then.

Thank you.

[ There's enough of a beat before that that it may be unclear whether he's thanking him for leaving or for the offer, so Ango is welcome to take that whichever way he likes. ]

[Ango is pessimistic, so he will assume the former. But he's also going to walk away thinking things aren't completely ruined between them, since Rideaux at least managed to say 'thank you' in the first place.]
