Week 6: Saturday

[ercnerd]

[Sieghart is still indoors, if only to put away the cup that Byleth brought during their watch. It hasn't been long since the trial's conclusion, and his thoughts—a brewing storm of rage—signal his presence long before he can be spotted beyond the walls.

I'll kill it. I'll kill it. I'll cut it down. I'll tear it apart.

In person, he seems to be simply finishing off the tea with an apathetic expression.]

[battling]

[The thoughts do not deter him, he just walks right in.]

The story?

[ercnerd]

[Bradley's entry breaks his train of thought as Sieghart looks over his shoulder.

Oh, was it aloud? I thought I was alone.]

How are the others doing?

[battling]

It's the thought share thing this week.

The kid from winter's gonna be fine... probably? So that's a plus.

[ercnerd]

. . . So I've heard.

The timing's good. If it works as intended, we don't have to worry about expulsion tomorrow.

[battling]

Yeah. We can just focus on gettin' outta here.

[ercnerd]

What's the first thing you're going to do once we're back?

[battling]

[Make sure Mandricardo's okay.]

Eat some fresh fried chicken.

[ercnerd]

Hmm . . . why not both?

[battling]

What?

[ercnerd]

Have you already forgotten?

[He taps his temple with his index finger.]

It's this week.

[battling]

It ain't always happenin'.

[ercnerd]

It does seem to strike at the most inopportune moments.

Should I forget what I heard?

[battling]

Nah. I ain't embarrassed about it.

[Has he ever been embarrassed at all though?]

[ercnerd]

Then you should do both. Don't you think he might appreciate it?

[battling]

Yeah. He's been havin' a real rough run of it. Can't help gettin' worried here.

[ercnerd]

All the more reason to get out of here as soon as we can. Seeing you and Wang Lu is sure to raise his spirits.

[battling]

I'm sure he'd rather spend time with his boyfriend.

[ercnerd]

For the first day, sure. Then how about the next day?

[battling]

He can have whatever he'd like.

[ercnerd]

Oh, good answer.

[battling]

He deserves it after all this.

[ercnerd]

He's one lucky guy to have such considerate friends.

[battling]

And you? What's the first thing ya wanna do?

[ercnerd]

Hmm . . .

If I can't cut the source of everyone's hardship in half right away, I'll take a nap in my dorm.
