Week 3: Monday

( As promises, Kaoru brings Austria to his room some time in the afternoon. They don't have a lot of time to begin so when she arrives, he let's her in and will show her to her seat rather swiftly, )

Thanks for coming.

[It's caused her a lot of turmoil at least. Maybe it's really not so odd an incentive, if she'd had her memories... and thanks to the change in rules that's always on the table now.]

It seems that way.

[Austria takes the picture back and glances at the clock.]

I should probably be on my way.

Before we get in trouble, sí.

( He'll go to get the door for her but before he opens it, he stops, appears to consider something, and says in accented German, )

I know it wasn't you.

( Who killed Eridan, that is. Austria might notice that his accent is lighter and not as harsh compared to regular German-- it's an Austrian accent. But before she can say anything, he'll already be showing her out the door so they don't get in trouble. )

[Hearing that, Austria's face flushes red almost immediately as he ushers her out the door.

No one had actually said anything like that to her. Not without a hypothetical attached to it, or asking if she'd done it, or without resentment of her.]

... danke.

[She'd really wanted just one person to say it.]
