[i'm saying this is post meeting and saying a little prayer
but she walks into the pc cafe now that someone has shown her what boba is, pausing when she sees molly.]
Somehow, this doesn't seem like your kind of place...
[that probably isn't meant to be too mean]

Then... What are you doing?
[peering over to see what he's typing!! nosy.]

[here they are in the void! she's not quite avoiding people, but she hasn't been seeking anyone out, either. still, when she sees him approaching, she doesn't make any move to leave.
she waits to see what he's going to say before speaking up, though.]

When I did which part...?
[she's out here trying to determine if he means the actual murder or the lying about it for weeks thing,,]

[fair and valid! she would normally try to dodge, but she's surprised and also molly deserves that, so. she just brings a hand to her shoulder after he's punched it and frowns.]
Are you done?
[one shoulder punch is definitely equal to murder]

Remember what I said! Priceless treasure!
[...but, after a second.]
Did you already know? Or suspect, even, I guess.

[that trust (if it is trust) stings a little more given the context, now, but she doesn't skip a beat.]
I probably would have told you if I didn't think you would have told Harrow.

[It's something like trust, for better or worse.]
I don't know where this reputation that I'm Harrow's obedient little pet comes from ... ? I think I'm going to start taking some offense. I'm perfectly capable of my own decisions.
[he does seem! mildly offended. but mostly jokingly.]
As it stands, I suppose it's between you and Luca.

I didn't say that! But if I were in the same position, I probably would have told her. Anyways, all I meant was that I don't really like lying about stuff like this. It's not my style, you know?
[a small sigh.]
Honestly, I was expecting him to try to punch me too.
[he truly deserved it]

He didn't? I suppose he's a wizard, so it wouldn't be a very satisfying punch.
[anyway, molly just sighs and hangs his head for a minute.]
Look, I don't know-- Is what you did fucked and wrong? Probably. Do I approve? No. But by some miracle he's alive or-- well. They haven't got heartbeats. So I'm not sure where they stand, but all the same you're working with the rest of us to try and get what we came for and get out of here, so, fuck it, I don't have the energy to be angry at my friend.
I stand by what I said about the past not having to matter. Just ... make better choices in the future.

Oh, he’s really weak, yeah! He probably would have hurt his hands more than he would have hurt me.
[stop
But, after a moment:]
Well, we’ll see. I... [another second of pause, and a frown, like she’s about to admit something embarrassing.] Ugh, before I say this, promise you won’t make the face!

As a warning, I’ll know if you make it, even if you aren’t looking at me.
[she will not]
[she will not]
[mimicking his salute! sans bottle.]
Mollymauk.
Mollymauk.
I'm choosing not to think about the second option! We can't do anything else just yet, so if things are going to end badly, I'm at least not thinking about it.
[after a moment:]
...Well, I'm glad you got her back, at least.
