We can't affect who gets picked for executioner. If we could...
[ there's a twist to his mouth. he doesn't want certain people getting picked any more than yams does, is the thing. but no one can control that. ]
[The way they'd all been so aggressively judgmental, because she'd dared to show her support for someone they were accusing. What Dick's saying and the way people truly act have been at odds since the start of all of this--is it any wonder that he couldn't trust them?
Dick's definitely right about that, though. His shoulders droop at the thought of the execution, and he looks down at the ground.]
I suppose you can try. Okita-kun was allowed to execute me in the castle, when we asked. [But it's not up to the directors, unlike how things were with Tiger and Dragon.]
...I promised some people that I'd fight, tomorrow. [He'll be honest about that too, especially because Dick already heard one of them. He and Ookurikara aren't close, but there are things they share, things Tonbokiri shares, that no one else can truly understand.] But there's certain people I won't kill. I don't think it will matter to anyone, but I'll uphold my honor as best I can.
I'll do my best to make sure it doesn't happen again.
[ he'd expected the rest of that, even without hearing Ookurikara. he thinks about what to say to that for a long time, to be honest. ]
If it's your honor, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. I know you'll follow your code. [ dick might not agree with what that is, but he knows-- he'd wanted a fair fight with Yin Yu. he'd at least try to do the same with whoever is there tomorrow. ] I wouldn't ask anyone out there not to fight.
[ guilty or not; he might have been more worried for taako last week but even though he'd killed jason, he'd never wanted nhs dead. ]
