...Is this a surprise?

[unbested]

A little bit...? I mean, you're really sure he wouldn't have attacked you if I'd asked you this last time?

[outsidebones]

He might have, but someone would have interfered first. I'm not frightened of it.

[unbested]

I... I guess... that feels like you're putting a lot of faith in everyone else's reaction times, though...

[ but he's kind of awed by the confidence anyway. ]

[outsidebones]

I am putting a lot of faith into everyone else's reaction times, yes.

[sometimes if you project wild confidence it works out.]

On the station, there was a killer who started to threaten me. The second it happened, he was under control.

[unbested]

[ it sure never worked out for him... ]

Huh...

[ he has a hard time imagining what it would be like for anyone to want to keep him alive that badly. ]

W-well, as long as you're sure you wouldn't be in real danger, then... okay, I'll keep that in mind for next time.

...Thanks.

[outsidebones]

You are welcome. I do consider it to our advantage to work together. Asking questions and pushing those who are suspicious, as a prosecutor would, is only going to better our circumstances.

[unbested]

...Yeah. You're right.

[ he nods, with a little more confidence now. ]

I won't hold back like that again next time.
