[ he runs into Emma more by accident than design, since he's wandering a bit aimlessly, deep in thought, but he doesn't ignore her when he comes across her: ]
Hey. Remember when I talked about long-winded bad guys? I kinda wish I'd been right.
Me neither. I figured something was gonna happen eventually, but... [ this isn't the usual darkness fighting? ] And even after that, we're left in the dark again.
Of all the weird ways I thought we'd end up having to fix the universe... I really hoped it wouldn't be something like this. I don't understand why anyone would decide to do this after just a few days.
I don't know if they did decide. [ he's frowning a little, pensive ] From what those guys said... it sounded like the darkness took control of someone.
If it does turn out someone got taken over by something horrible and did something they would never ordinarily do... Let's just say it wouldn't be my first rodeo.
I've dealt with something similar to that too. Darkness "corrupting" people. It's a better idea to think we're here 'cause we got the experience than otherwise, innit?

Me neither. I figured something was gonna happen eventually, but... [ this isn't the usual darkness fighting? ] And even after that, we're left in the dark again.

no subject
Yeah. Hey. You doing okay?
[ this is lea's belated realization that sometimes people...... don't like murder ]
no subject
It just seemed like it might be easier here for a while. You know?
no subject
no subject
Yeah. But, turns out it might be more similar to my long story than I thought.
no subject
That bad, huh?
[ he doesn't push for her to explain, but he's clearly leaving an opening in case she wants to. ]
no subject
If it does turn out someone got taken over by something horrible and did something they would never ordinarily do... Let's just say it wouldn't be my first rodeo.
no subject
... That's some bad luck you've got.
[ a small, mild understatement. ]
no subject
no subject
[ he sounds pensive, though ]
You think that's why you got dragged here?
no subject
Maybe they just figured once wasn't enough. Who knows.
no subject
I've dealt with something similar to that too. Darkness "corrupting" people. It's a better idea to think we're here 'cause we got the experience than otherwise, innit?
no subject
[...]
Was there a way to uncorrupt them where you're from?
