[He listens to her talk about Savage, trying to bite down on his anger and not doing a great job of it. He kind of wants to do something monumentally stupid, like call the man out on this behaviour- but that would only put himself at risk, and probably Usagi too. Fern as well- because like hell the other boy would let anything or anyone threaten his life.]
Usagi that's- that's ridiculous. He can't just treat you like that. You deserve better, you- you shouldn't have to put up with any of that. I hope you're keeping away from him, and I hope you've made Maul understand that's not- not acceptable.
[Would Maul care? He doesn't even know anymore, he's not convinced Maul has any empathy in him these days.]
...Did I mention how much I hate Demande yet? I feel that needs reiterating.
[If Varian wasn't already 100% committed to keeping him in his Murder Book, he sure is now. He falls quiet again as Usagi speaks, a frustrated noise bubbling out of him.]
You think I don't?. I've been one of those people who are left in the dark. I know first-hand too what it's like to feel like no one cares anymore and has given up on you. I get it.
[He pinches the bridge of his nose, exhaling- he doesn't want to take anything out on her, he's just afraid this is going to destroy her. Usagi doesn't give up on anyone and he's scared that Maul will take advantage of that. ]
I just- how long does he keep getting a free pass on this? How many times is what he's done just... swept under the rug? He murdered me and he told Fern to get over it. Like it didn't matter. Like- like killing me was nothing he should care about.
[And that had hurt- it had kicked up all his self-worth issues. Great to think his own murder didn't matter to the person who did it. ]
Good, glad you see that much sense at least. [He's already out of the door, grabbing a glow tube from the porch as he does so. ] See you soon.
