[They can talk about tragic potential futures all they want for 9 hours tomorrow!! It'll be great!
For now though, he just nods.]
Mm - what was yours, out of curiosity? [Though he'll stick a hand into his pocket after that, extracting a white ring.] This one's mine. If I wear it, I'll lose the arm for a day. [HM.] But when it comes back, I'll have something from a locked room in my hand.
[WHO KEEPS GIVING HIM THESE WILD FUCKIN ITEMS.]
I'd like to use it before people start breaking into places again Monday just in case I can get something good in a less dangerous way, but I run into a couple of problems then... First being that I don't particularly want to spend trial with one arm or have to deal with explaining that, second being I have no guarantee I won't be possessed on Sunday by the time my arm returns. I'm hoping you can either be witness to me putting it on today, or that you'll be with me exactly when I put it on on Sunday so you can come find me twenty-four hours later and ensure nothing useful is hidden away if I do become possessed.
You'll do what? [WHO KEEPS GIVING HIM THIS SHIT?!?! He's 100% boggled and a little concerned (a lot concerned) but sure! Okay!]
...I can do either or, sure. Depending on when you want to do this. But in that case, I need you to be a witness too in case something comes up. [A beat.] Mine was a love potion. It's still full! But just in case it becomes relevant...I can show you if you want.
...so let me get this right. First you gain an extra arm, and now you have something to lose one of the ones you have? [God. But he gestures for him to follow Junpei back to his room where the potion's kept.]
We need to start having witnesses for stuff, especially the more items are getting used in murders.
Haha, well, when you put it like that it just sounds hilarious!
[DOES IT, THOUGH. DOES IT?? But he'll follow along after Junpei.]
But I agree with that, mm. Can't afford to give our dear friends even an inch of wiggle room this close to the finish line. Ah-- speaking of, I should mention - no messages this week, but I did get something else.
[...just. Deadeyes. BUT ANYWAY. He'll get to his room and let Wei Wuxian in first, but he's quickly disappearing to somewhere to get his hidden bottle of potion.]
You and I can agree on that. I'd rather not give them room to do anything. What'd you get? [But he'll return with one (1) full bottle of what definitely looks like some kind of liquid? I don't know if it's exactly the same as the one found in Taako's room like it has a label, etc, but the point is it's definitely not empty.]
[HeheheHEHEHE... At least Junpei just humors him, god. But IN HE GOES to go flop by the loveseat.]
I think everyone could agree there except our dear friends themselves, hm?
[He'll take a look at the bottle, though! Sure does look like a full bottle to him. He hums, nods in acknowledgment, and then goes digging in his robes again. This time he pulls out a coin! One side is blank and the other has an eye, hm.]
[HE'D ALSO LIKE TO KNOW. It sure is an eye there, looking back at Junpei as he looks at it. Not literally, though. Probably.]
Beck was going to ask Carlos if they might be able to do something about Higekiri, so I suppose that's taken care of one way or another... Never actually finished the errand I was running earlier so I could turn it in for that. Anything you could think of? Otherwise, I might just save it in case we're in desperate need later.
[Reasons he thought it was hilarious Dick thought he'd called Chuuya over to get a favor to fix his own wound: this.]
Only thing I can think of immediately is a clue for what we're supposed to do next week, but I don't know if that'll be covered in the favor wheelhouse, you know? [But he nods along...]
Do we know if we were able to help him? Higekiri, I mean.

[HE SAYS WITH A SMILE LIKE THIS IS NORMAL. It's fine.]
Ah-- But that's alright - I'll take a look, sure. Might be for the best just to have at least one witness, just in case.

A free favor. Might come in handy, haha.
