Looks like this will be a weekly thing
[This whole week has been awful. This whole experience has been awful. Mordecai wants to go straight to his room and deal with his frustrations, but that's not what a mayor does. A mayor takes charge, a mayor fixes what's wrong, a mayor makes things better. Even if he can't do everything on his own, he's has to do something.
Two hours after the end of the trial, the living will find another note slipped underneath their doors.]
There's cookies in the kitchen. The dining room is ready for anyone who needs a quiet place to talk it out. I'll be in the bar if you need a drink, alcoholic or something more appropriate for the underage crowd.
-Mordecai Benmont Jiminy
[There's a pile of warm chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen. Two more candles are lit at the memorial - one for the victim, one for the culprit - and Mordecai has left a pile of blankets from the storage room on one of the dining room tables.]

cw: suicide
...If it was in self-defense then maybe...
[He doubts the Conductor would be that forgiving. A murder is still a murder.]
I... I don't know what to say.
[It makes sense, really. Why would you want to let the Conductor decide your fate? But... But that idea terrifies him and he really doesn't want to consider it.]
Besides... Nothing like that will happen. You'll be fine.
cw: suicide
Well, it's a hard thing to know what to say to! So don't worry about that, at least.
As for the rest... I'll certainly do my best. I'll stick close to you, and I'll try never to be outside alone at night. [ Youko raises her wrist, calling attention to her bracelet. ] And now I have this to remind me.
...I'm grateful for that. I've never... thought overly much about my own safety before. I'm not inclined to sacrifice my happiness for anything, seeing as I may very well live forever. A couple of years more or less doesn't really matter.
...But now I have someone who needs me to stay alive. So things have changed.
no subject
[Honestly it doesn't even occur to Logan that he should return that. He has to return to Albion, after all. He'll be fine because he has to be.]
I wouldn't want anything to happen to you, Youko.
no subject
But promise me you'll do the same - look out for yourself. Be careful.
[ If it doesn't occur to him, then she's just going to bring it up. ]
no subject
[For Albion. He'd give everything for Albion.]
OUCH
[ It's terribly reassuring. She really doesn't need to worry about him, in regards to that. Not any more than the minimum this place necessitates. ]
If the worst happens, and you kill someone in self-defense - tell me, alright? Tell me before you make any kind of decision.
[ Because that's the only way Logan might end up dead. Everyone relies on him and what he does for the group, and anyone hoping to destroy morale would have to best Logan in a fight first.
So: accidental murder in the name of protecting someone else it is. ]
