[Fuck. He wants to wring that man's neck.]

We're close. We're going for the grocery store.

[Maybe they'll get lucky.]

[armoured]

[He's relieved that at least Alfie doesn't seem any more angry with him than before.]

Mm. I've still got her bracelet, though.

[devoutish]

Yeah?

[That mollifies him a little bit. He'd really wanted that bracelet back.]

It's mine. From home.

[So it's important.]

[armoured]

[He sighs, just sounding sad and tired.]

I'll take care of it, and you can have it back just as soon as possible. I don't have anything else, I don't think he had anything else of hers.

[devoutish]

I want to see that for myself. Among other things.

[armoured]

Mm. I can't even tell you which way they've gone. By the time I came round, any footprints were already gone.

[devoutish]

How much food do they have?

[armoured]

[He hasn't really got any at all, but he's trying to think how much Batman and Joker had.]

Not a lot, I think. Batman hasn't picked any up in the last few days, I'm not sure about the Joker. If I had to guess, I'd probably say they'd head downtown towards one of the supply points.

[devoutish]

So are we. We might meet at the grocery store. That'd be lucky, eh?

[armoured]

Yeah.

I'm going to head back up towards the hospital and see if I can see any evidence of them along the way, just in case they went that direction. If I don't find anything, I'll come back down and meet you to give you back the bracelet.

[He'll figure out his own supplies somehow along the way. Or he'll get really hungry, one of the two.]

[devoutish]

I don't know if I'll ever have the stomach to wear it again.

[He turns on the video briefly to show Al his wrist, where he has on a similar bracelet.]

But it's a family piece, and it should be with its match.

[armoured]

[Poor guy. He feels a twist of sympathy for him, but he's said sorry enough and Alfie is probably sick of hearing it by now.]

It's not really my business, but I bet Fiona wouldn't want her memory to be the reason you stopped wearing it.

[devoutish]

It's not her memory that bothers me. I'll be thinking of it on his wrist.

[armoured]

That's probably what he wanted in taking it, don't let him win.

[devoutish]

You're ascribing a human motive to the man. I don't think he's that reasoned. He's intelligent enough, but impulsive; rash.

[armoured]

He's still human.

[That's a dangerous misconception to labour under.]

Even if he's insane and impulsive, he's still human. He probably wanted to cause you pain, that's why he wore it.

[devoutish]

He's fucking evil, mate. He's human biologically, but he's got no humanity.

He may have thought it was hers. A trophy. I had only just put it on her, right before I died myself.

[armoured]

Maybe.

[He exhales heavily, shakily.]

I guess it doesn't matter in the long run. I have it back, it's safe.

[devoutish]

Mm.

[He almost hangs up there, but then he adds:]

-- You didn't know her well?

[armoured]

No, I don't think I spoke to her even once.

[He wishes he had now, he wishes he had known her and who to contact when they found her body.]

I guess we just never crossed paths.

[devoutish]

Yeah.

[A beat, then:]

Have a good day, Alphonse.

[armoured]

[He snorts, dry and humourless. Yes, have a good day after Batman clonked him over the head and left him behind. He's not so ungracious as to say that, though.]

Thanks. Good luck in finding them, if you do-- would you let me know, please?

[devoutish]

Planning to track them down yourself?

[armoured]

Yeah.

[For some reason, he doesn't think Alfie is going to be one of the people trying to persuade him not to.]

So will you tell me if you find them?

SHIT I MISSED THIS ONE I'm sorry

[devoutish]

I will. Share and share alike.
