[That's good, at least. For practical reasons, especially, though he's a little beyond the point of pretending he doesn't care at all. He's not a fan of lies, especially to himself.]
Well, I can promise you I won't go down without a fight. [He's confident, but not arrogant enough to believe he's a genius or infallible. Cockiness has likely landed him a handful of the scars he wears. Still, he has faith in his own skill and tenacity.
Though, while they're on the subject--] ...out of curiosity, if the accused manages to win in an execution, is there anything stopping the crowd from attacking them?
I know. You're good at staying alive, so...if anybody stands a fighting chance it's you.
[so it'll be interesting to see how it goes.]
...I don't know if there is, other than winning them over beforehand. But that's also if you get caught anyway. We've never seen a turn of events where the culprit wins.
[There's a slightly displeased look on his face, because that seems like much more than coincidence, but... can't be helped.]
Further incentive for covering my tracks well, then. [Since he sure as hell ain't winnin anybody over with his logic of "oh gee sorry guys I thought we were all here to win big and go home".] If Sloth does have something for me, then I'd imagine you can't provide too much help, right?
[Unless Lust wants to cheat and play favorites for him or something, but that seems unlikely...]
Alright. Thank you. [He does appreciate it, especially knowing Lust finds it distasteful.] I'll speak with Sloth before I find Mahito and Endorsi, then.
[And I will attempt to locate one single braincell to formulate a murder that's not just "sword go stab" but no promises]
In general? No, not at all. [Wow what a shocking answer.] But I trust that Mahito wants to keep me alive for a while, and I believe Endorsi is the type to repay a debt, if it won't hinder her goals. [So he's not expecting either of them to die for him or anything, but they'll probably vouch for him, yes.] If nothing else, they know I can make things more difficult for them if they go back on their word.
[Considering he could easily doxx them for past murders.]
[Honestly, he probably wouldn't call it blackmail himself, since it's not like outing them would save him if he gets caught, and he's unlikely to do it anyway--but he's willing enough to let them think he would, since it works in his favor. But, he nods, pulling out his phone.]
Alright, I will. [Time to text Sloth!] Take care of the others, alright? Please tell Pride I'll come see them next week.
