[Sorin has a problem, he wants to get some work done but to his shame he is still mildly uneasy around all the space out there- he can tolerate it while he's moving around and talking to people but doing work? He wouldn't be able to settle.

So! He has remembered Crane's library from the start of their book finding adventure and has secretly managed to drag a desk through the entrance and set up his paperwork on it- Ah, finally a chance to actually get some proper work done without a Elite accidentally setting themselves on fire or tying two groupies together and not being able to get them loose...

...Except he really doesn't look please with this work; in fact he's holding his head in his hands and looking rather incredibly annoyed by the papers in front of him (several photos of a seemingly twelve year old boy with a pierced lip and dyed black hair for the eagle eyed); obviously the Elites and their incredible stupidity must follow him everywhere.

In fact, somebody on fire would really cheer him up right now]

[His fingers tighten on the bucket]

It doesn't matter, such things would never happen- it is pointless to speculate about them.

Not very bright, are you? It's a metaphor. You know, something you're not supposed to take literally.

[He finally turns, arms crossed, his expression blank.]

Thanks for helping me sort out which side you're on, though~

[He'll be avoiding that, the coward]

...It was all just a test?

Both of the prisoners were already dead, but their ghosts would have helped you. One to lower the bridge, the other to distract the guards. Or you could have chosen to lower the bridge and stay behind, letting their spirits go free. After all, they were tossed in there for the same reason-- they thought it was "practical" to think only of oneself.

...It is practical; it's hardly good but it isn't bad to show a little concern- only fools rush in and disregard their own safety just to save others; I try not to be a fool in such situations.

I never said you were in a trap, did I? I never lied to you, you know. That's the point of the riddle.

Courageous people save both. Practical people save one. Weak people save themselves.

[Glaaare] I learnt my policies from my father, and he is not a weak man.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

If he's weak, then that makes you twice as weak.

[Gritted teeth] He is not a weak man.

[Axel yawns.] Whatever~ I've got more entertaining things to do than try to remind an apple he's not an orange.
