[Well, Tybalt's in a better mood.

Somewhat.

Slightly.

By Tybalt standards.

You see, he's regained his locket, which contains a photograph of his cousin Julia, and while this doesn't quite make him, you know, happy, seeing as he's been informed how the story ends, but he's at least walking out of the post office like he can see where he's going now

[[Theta's eyes widen when she sees the man bleeding so heavily. She pulls a handkerchief out of her pocket and goes over to offer it to him.]]

What happened? Are you all right?

[The fact that it's her dampens his mood a little, but he smiles really grimly and lifts his hair to show where his ear appears to have been torn off.]

Small mercies.

[[Theta doesn't flinch at the injury, but continues to hold her hand out, offering the handkerchief.]]

Put pressure on it before you bleed out.

[he takes it, but you get this face in return.]
