[ even rondo is quiet for a long moment. thoughtful, following his gaze outwards to the landscape as he considers the events of the night. ]
... I agree. [ it was hard. it was so hard to watch. ] I'm not used to having to be on the sidelines like that. And if we could have prevented Karlach having to...
[ having to do that - she would've been able to avoid losing her fingers, sure, but more so, she shouldn't have had to be the one to do it. she clearly liked boothill a lot, maybe the most out of anyone. ]
[Not so much the Karlach thing, because--well. Because this is life, for an exorcist. You wake up, you put on your uniform, and you confront the fact that you might need to cut down the same person who fought beside you yesterday, if they made it through the night in the first place. He thinks it was ridiculous and naive of her to get attached to a stranger so quickly, but it's not like he'd expect a non-exorcist to understand. He can respect that she was able to end it. That's what matters in the end.
(And, Boothill coming back to himself in the end was... not something he'll share his thoughts about, but it didn't go unnoticed.)
But otherwise, he agrees. It was frustrating to be locked out. Especially for someone like Kanda, who is so deeply accustomed to being the one to step in, who has dealt with situations exactly like this all his life.]
No hesitation, next time.
[Also I won't be gone all day so scapegoat me for midtrialing kthx]
