DAY 9 (AFTERNOON) ALFENDI & ELIZABETH

[selfdenying]

[He's worried.]

[He's mad too, of course. He's always mad. In a place like this, with a morbid game so frustratingly arranged against him and the others, it's hard not to be.]

[But now, after that strange conversation with the dead, he's worried. "Sleeping with the enemy"? And Dojima, suddenly leaving him a note asking about Bigby Wolf, and whether he's innocent or not? He hadn't considered it. He had trusted everyone in his apartment, assumed that they were all allies, they were on his side...]

[But were they, really?]

[He briskly walks through the Complex, finally catching sight of who he's been looking for - he walks up and stops her in her stride by stepping in front of her, his expression twisted in a frown.]

Elizabeth. [He says, his voice low.] I...I need to talk to you

[He doesn't allow her much time to reply, since he lets out a sigh and speaks up again:]

I'm worried that Bigby Wolf might be staff.

Comments

[tearable]

[ Elizabeth hadn't been feeling good for a few hours. She had recently confirmed yet another innocent among them and despite her best efforts to hold onto hope... she's feeling the fatalist teachings of Rosalind Lutece slip in.

Dies, died, will die.

She wonders, will that be in her future with that psycho slithering around. The cards were dealt to her in a way where she has to just... play. That's all she can do - win or lose, there's no other option but to play.

When Elizabeth was approached, she gives a worried expression. ]

Did something -

[ She doesn't get to finish her sentence before he suddenly casts quite the concern. He can see the way her lip twitches a bit and her eyes soften, as if there was a change in her mind completely. ]

What brings this on, Alfendi?
