Is that dinner?
[— before sitting, one hand propping him up from behind.]
Much the same, honestly. I don't feel good about how we closed the case, but...well. Seems I'm less down in the dumps than most.

[ it's...a seagull! it is just absolutely chilling in taair's lap, currently preening its feathers. ]
Mn. [ ... ] Unfortunately, injustice is no stranger... in wartime, life can be brutal, nasty, and short, and such has been the case in Iria for many years. I have my reservations, but... I am glad we were able to put together what happened, for what little time we had to do so.
It was a terrible end to a terrible few days.

[But he'll hold a hand out to the creature for inspection, even if the long beak gives him pause. He's met a pet bird or two in his lifetime but never anything of this size.]
...Yeah, I imagine war would be a titch shitty to live through. [A little!!!] Torture of a different breed though. It doesn't negate that this was a complete gongshow, from start to finish.
We did get it together, though, you're right. And that's in spite of not knowing what we were walking into.
[Still. He doesn't like the conclusions they've drawn either. That there's more questions ahead. What does it mean to be "expelled"?]
...It'll still feel terrible come tomorrow, and many days after that. We may have to move on, but there's no shaking a case like this off so quickly. And there's no shame in feeling that way about it. Regardless of what you have or haven't been through before.

Badr. [ repeating the sound of the letters properly. ] The son of a merchant and a sea creature that turned to a woman. A folkloric hero- and a name for a sea bird.
[ it’s hard to tell if he accepted this name or not but this seagull is truly vibing so maybe it did. Either way. he reaches his big bird head out and just plunks it into Richie’s hand.
As for the rest of the conversation - far less levity, but more important. He listens quietly, watching this interaction, and letting the days events wash over him one more time. ] … I think that’s very well said, as always, my friend. A wise perspective, and one I think we all will need to hold onto in the coming days.
[ there’s a little hum, soft. ] It’s a nice side of you to see.
I can’t say I expected a “trial” of redemption to be so… literal, really.
