... Thinking of what to add.

I've never been very good at these things.

[midway]

[ A pause. ]

Neither have I. I don't really know what you're supposed to do.

[spiritbalm]

I know what you're supposed to do. Chantry services, candles, wearing lots of black.

[ he already wears black. ]

But if they're just supposed to be ... lost, instead of gone, is that the right thing either?

[midway]

[ Thinks a little. ]

What exactly do you think will happen if you do the "wrong" thing?

[spiritbalm]

Nothing, I suppose.

[ because nothing will happen if he does the "right" thing either. ]

... What did you say to him, the other day?

[midway]

You mean the night of trial?

[ Thinking back. ]

Just how he was feeling, and if he was satisfied.

[spiritbalm]

Well-- That. And also earlier in the week. If he was acting normal to you.

[midway]

I can't say I know him well enough to gauge what's normal, but I didn't notice anything that triggered my suspicion, even in hindsight.

We mostly spoke about you.
