[ rhys stays silent and listen because that's what he knows to do in moments like these. break is... crazy but he isn't senseless and he's shrewd. morrigan was like that too until, well. it's a familiar shrewdness to rhys though and he'll latch onto it.

what break is suggesting though, rhys can't help but picture how it would go. break, gilbert, him? there's no way an actual accomplice gilbert could survive if he was a suspect again, could he? people would see him up there and know he did something. between rhys and break though... ugh, he's pretty sure he might be the more likely suspect. break is dangerous but he's also blind. if rhys were his eyes for a murder, it would be very hard to keep the suspicion off of him. he's not sure how much he trusts their ability to pull that off.

still, rhys can't help but wave a hand dismissively at the last part. ]

People die all the time. Most of the people here deserve it. If someone's going to die anyway, it might as well be a death that's as tactically advantageous as possible. A death that can save me, you, and maybe some other people in the process.

[ then he pauses and realizes just how callous that sounded. he's glad no one else is here to hear it, especially when he's said things directly opposing that to other people. god, what is he even doing? ]

I have a question though. [ how to put it ... ] Do you... think this is it? Do you think if we die here, we're dead for real? Or are there other forces at work, maybe? I don't, uhm. I don't really know, personally.
