[ he smiles briefly at that, a moment of warmth, but what would be good cheer mellows back out immediately. ]

Ah. I appreciate it. Otherwise, I'd have to ask that you table the attacks for another day.

[ his tone is light, even if his mood is miserable. ]

Yeah, if anything, I wanted to apologize. I was worried about my friend, but that was no reason to act rashly.

[ and sidon's counter was pretty impressive....... but guy can't really focus on that right now. people are dying!! etc!! ]

Luke and Dahut were in the same room as me. I couldn't do anything to stop it.

I accept your apology, and it's all right. It is noble to want to protect your friends.

[ it really is just water off a duck's back for him after saying sorry, since guy seems to obviously not be a fish racist, but also, it wasn't the wrong instinct to look after anise. obviously.

his feelings dip into something sad, sympathetic. ]

...Ah. I heard about Luke. I'm sorry. It was... so sudden.

Don't go giving me too much credit.

[ but a little smile, he's glad sidon does not hold it against him!!! ]

Yeah.... thanks. Before Luke died, we all started feeling sick. I don't know what could have caused that.

[ he gives him a brief smile back, but then the vibes turn... a little bleak. not so badly as to spiral off or panic, but there's a grimness there he rarely carries. ]

...It may be that he was ill already. [ That cough he had... ] If something exacerbated it—I do not know.

If he was, he did a good job of hiding it.

[ That idiot... ]

[ there's no heat in it ]

And maybe we ended up.... sharing his pain?

[ guy's mind is working through this. yikes. ]

...Yes. That's what I fear happened.

[ he's clearly sympathetic, having heard a bit from others in the lounge already. ]

I'm so sorry to all of you—Luke's passing is tragic enough without everyone having to experience it so personally.

.... Thanks. I think it was rougher on the girls than it was on me, though.

[ particularly yuri. he is worried ]

[ the rest he won't deny, though ]
