[Jill's had her Serious Moments here in the Underworld, but it's been few and far in between that she's gone and taken charge; it's been even rarer for her to give orders
( Read more... )
[She's hoping the logic will click one day: "if you don't like lying, then don't do it. 8|"
There's a pause. After the feeds she's seen, after speaking with Castiel... She doesn't have to ask to get the gist of what happened.]
...I'm sorry, Misaki, I... I don't know what happened, but -- is there anything that can help?
[It's a lame question and even she knows it. Under normal circumstances, it'd be different -- she'd go after the bastards responsible, even if it wouldn't change what happened, and not regret anything she did in a moment of justified rage.
...but this isn't normal, and all she can do is ask lame questions because here, in matters like these, she's largely as helpless as anyone can be at the end of the day.]

It was months but Fenris says only four days.

[Shit. Time paradox bullshit.]
It... he's right, it's only been a few days. [That piques her morbid curiosity, but she won't ask for details.]
...You must've opened your puzzle box, then, didn't you? [It's a gentle question.]

Another pause as she rubs her forehead.] ...Okay.
You need me to walk you home or anything?
