[ hellooooo, marinette! wherever you happen to be on this fine graveyard like day, you're about to be bothered by a very whiny noodle. marinette wouldn't know it but rhys hasn't really done much of... anything during his death until very recently, mostly because he was Tragic and Angsting. now he is no longer so tragic but the cost is... pretty damn high.

it's actually pretty obvious too when rhys approaches dressed not in his usual suit, by in jack's stupid godawful yellow sweater and his slacks. why is rhys wearing that sweater? someone help rhys. ]

Hey, Marinette. You have a second? We need to talk. I mean, of course you have a second, you're freggin' dead for crying out loud.

[She's only letting this go because there are bigger fish to fry!!!]

[Her expression darkens a little at the Jack rant, but--] Look--- I didn't trust Jack either. I didn't know how bad he was then, but it wasn't about that. You'd just stabbed him, and the way you were acting---

[She trails off. Her anger at Rhys has pretty much evaporated, and even if she has some disdain, it's pale compared to what she feels about the remaining survivors.] But I'm sorry. I wasn't fast enough to stop him. [Also, hero complex]

[Speaking of disdain, it's definitely flaring up at the mention of it.] None of you had any control over what the aliens did with your bodies, and it's-- it's not an excuse to treat anyone horribly! Adrien would have died to protect any one of those people, and they still treated him like he was a monster, like he was using them. Dave--- [okay, she'd gotten nasty herself before the alien reveal and had a hard time trying to figure out how to apologize to him, but she's still angry on their behalf. On both of their behalves.] You're--- more victims than anyone else. They should have been helping them!

[Of course, the last bit catches her off guard. IS THIS REALLY RHYS?] I--- thank you.
