[ this time it's less loud and she's keeping her distance, alerting him to her presence!! it's polite. she's got a small beaker of something in her hands. ]
I wanted to apologize for before. So I made you something that should help with the pain.
[ she backs away as he goes to pick it up. it looks like red liquid.... it smells like cherry. looks like she tried to make it easier on him. nom nom princess painkillers. ]
[ also, yes, she does notice the smiling and the earnest...ness... but it only serves to confuse her more. she barely grasps social nuance!! ]
My name is Entrapta. But your behavior is contradictory, tall blonde one! Was it not me who frightened you?
[Venturing into the lab hasn't been something Guy has wanted to risk since the trial last week. But after this week's trial and the promises he's made, he knows he has to at least stop by one last time. He's done what he can on his own, but he can't exactly lug certain machinery out of the lab proper for his needs.
So he's ducking into the lab on Sunday afternoon, a mess of fontech parts in a disassembled pile under one arm as he heads towards his regular workstation---
---And immediately pauses when he sees who else is in the room.
...
Quietly, he puts down what he's working on, keeping his eyes on her and his voice soft.]
[ emma's very badly damaged and so is entrapta, actually! not so much physically, anymore, but putting aside her feelings to throw herself into repairs seems like it's the way to go. it's certainly less painful than thinking about catra's corpse. ]
[ she's not surprised to have company... in fact, she expected more retribution or perhaps to be locked up, but she is surprised to see him there. ]
it is gutted but it is, indeed, another bomb, exactly the same as the remains from the trial
His voice stays even and neutral.]
There was a lot going on at that trial. Ludger had told me ahead of time that he knew about a potion that feigned death and expected one of you might be coming back to life afterwards. When we heard about Catra's body, I knew it had to be you.
I'm not in any position to judge. But I wanted to hear what happened from you.
...Ludger only told me the evening before we went to trial. I had no idea before then.
[He has no idea if that even helps, but yknow. Sad girls are difficult to work with and he never knows really what to say to help. Even though he really shouldn't in this case.]
I think there was a lot of potential with him to be unpredictable. He was smart. Knew how to handle himself a little too well. Never really showed a lot of his cards.
[ sadly, no, but she's not the dwelling type. she resumes working on emma. ]
He is young, but he shot Oda and stabbed you without hesitation. I don't believe he was inexperienced. He had a strong drive to win, as well. In my discussions with him, he gave me the impression he would kill.
[ there's more involved but she doesn't want to go into it. ] I trusted her judgement. And I don't believe he is as harmless as everyone seems to think.

WEEK 2, FRIDAY
[ this time it's less loud and she's keeping her distance, alerting him to her presence!! it's polite. she's got a small beaker of something in her hands. ]
I wanted to apologize for before. So I made you something that should help with the pain.
[ sets it down. on the ground. ]
no subject
Oh... hey! Hey, I'm glad to see you again.
You don't have to apologize, you know. Really. You didn't do anything wrong. I just hope it all wasn't too harsh on you.
[He sounds earnest enough about that.
He'll stride over to pick the little glass container up, though, carefully examining the contents. HM WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE....]
I never even got your name the other day.

WEEK 6, SUNDAY
So he's ducking into the lab on Sunday afternoon, a mess of fontech parts in a disassembled pile under one arm as he heads towards his regular workstation---
---And immediately pauses when he sees who else is in the room.
...
Quietly, he puts down what he's working on, keeping his eyes on her and his voice soft.]
Hey, Entrapta.
no subject
[ she's not surprised to have company... in fact, she expected more retribution or perhaps to be locked up, but she is surprised to see him there. ]
Hello, Guy. Would you like me to leave?
[ so he doesn't get cooties ]
no subject
[Something being a boxy mess of mostly fontech parts and some electrical work, but whatever.
His eyes will glance over the remains of the little robot under Entrapta's hands.]
...Were the damages pretty significant?
no subject
[ but yeah emma's pretty fucked up. ]
... Yes. But she is still salvageable. Until I am killed, I will focus on repairing her.
[ emma is her only friend now. ]
no subject
except it's completely in a mess of spare parts, so there's that
He hums under his breath, finding a seat and lowering himself down into it.]
You're really expecting someone to come after you for all that.
Does that mean they were right about you guys and Ray?
no subject
Two people already did. And others knew. [ or at least a couple of them did. ]
You didn't take them at their word? [ she's surprised!! ]
no subject

no subject
You and Ludger both knew... I see. [ but catra didn't tell her. she stops working for a second to look downcast. feelings suck!! ]
.... Most of their theories are incorrect, but we were responsible for Ray, yes. Catra believed he was a threat to us.
no subject

Why did Catra feel threatened? Did she say?
no subject
