The Twenty-Fourth [Voice]

Keeping me in here won't be such an easy task, you know.

But for now, I promise I won't bite.

So foolish.

Well, you brought it on yourself, Miss. There's always a punishment for crimes like this.

[bends_lightning]

Like what

[She's sitting in the cell, her hair down, smiling up at him confidently.]

What did I do?

[elysias_papa]

[He shakes his head as he pushes his glasses up further on his nose]

I think wreaking havoc on the city and burning someone qualifies as a crime.

[bends_lightning]

Oh. I had no idea.

[She laughs casually, leaning back on the wall behind her.]

Why are you here?

[elysias_papa]

[His face grows more serious, crossing his arms]

To talk.

[bends_lightning]

Uh-huh.

[Her smile fades slightly, and she looks straight at him.]

Then let's talk.

[elysias_papa]

Alright.

[He leans up against the wall across from the cell]

Was there a reason for the altercation with Ashelin?

[bends_lightning]

Surprisingly enough, I did not start that fight. I had no idea who she was before she challenged me.

Who am I to decline a challenge?

[elysias_papa]

Someone a bit too quick to temper, I'd say. Not everything needs to resort to violence.

[He pauses, thinking for a moment.]

Do you have any idea why she'd instigate a fight?

[bends_lightning]

Mm, I've heard all about my "quick temper."

Really, I think it may just have been restlessness on her part. I will never really know, will I?

[She brushes some of her hair out of her face, smiling again.]

[elysias_papa]

Hm. Well, that's something I'll look into myself. But there are alternatives that don't require barbecuing another person.

[bends_lightning]

Where I come from, that's what you do.

[elysias_papa]

Great, but we're not where you come from. Learning a bit of restraint could be beneficial.

[bends_lightning]

Right.

Or, next time, I could be just that little bit more careful and not get caught.

[elysias_papa]

[His glasses start to fall, and he pushes them up again with his index finer]

I think it'll be pretty obvious when a trail of charred people is lining the streets.

Private

Mister Hughes, what is she being held on, exactly?
