[ She still isn't sure how to feel and that much shows - or is felt - when she glances at him with equally tired eyes. ]

You needn't thank me, Molly. All I did was listen.

[ To a lot of people. Who had a lot to say about her beliefs. At once. ]

[headmt]

To everyone, all at once, having an anxiety attack. I'm sure it wasn't pleasant.

[TRIAL IS STRESSFUL.]

You didn't have to listen though. So for that, you get thanks. Just the way it is!

[femmefinale]

[ It sure wasn't pleasant. Really, it only makes her want to never do that again. ]

You're... welcome then, I suppose. I had hoped it was something that was never to be asked of me, but...

[ He had pleaded with her. ]

[headmt]

[He does have a flash of guilt at that-- the pleading. but he doesn't waver too long.]

We're being asked questions I don't think any of us have ever had to consider before. At least, not me. Lived a very charmed life until this point, I suppose.

[femmefinale]

You had your own share of problems to contend with at the time.

[ She sighs, shaking her head. ]

Today has just taught me that the majority are clearly unsuited for a situation like this, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[headmt]

Don't think it's a bad thing at all.

[He seems very fond when he says this, actually.]

I'd even like to think that I'm not at all suited for it, actually.

[femmefinale]

You're not.

[ She says this immediately. ]

[headmt]

[he laughs, at least.]

Thanks.

[Anyway,]

What's next, do you think?

[femmefinale]

[ Put that on your resume, Molly. ]

... I've no idea. Either this changes something, which we ought to see transpire next week...

Or someone else kills again and then it descends into chaos.

[headmt]

It's hard for me to imagine just ... going on like we have been. I think something is going to change.

[femmefinale]

What do you think that will look like?

[ Is that something he can even imagine? ]
