There was a flickering array of something awful in Roy's aura, and Bastille, for a moment, paused. He'd seen that glimmer of darkness and despair before, when Roy realized what had happened to him, and the bengal had actually backed off then. He may be a prick, but he wasn't cruel; he realized belatedly that Roy might not be over it, and by the time the Guardian was turning to him he'd already decided to back off. A peace offering.
"Oh," he supplied, tone bland. Bastille wasn't about to show sympathy or go about pitying Roy -- he had a feeling that would only piss him off, so instead he went for casual. "Well, then. I back up your assertion as to what the hell Maes was thinking." He eyed the remains of the circle, evidently willing to stop antagonizing Roy for once in the face of genuine distress. Again, not cruel -- just a bit of a jerk, though he wasn't willing to purposely dig into wounds. He just hadn't realized Roy's fate was accidental. "I feel like he should at least help," he commented, after a moment. Idly, he wondered if Roy was convinced Maes might try again if allowed near it, and didn't blame him. Clearly he hadn't gotten the message the first time.

Honey, you're familiar, like my mirror years ago, Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on his sword, Innocence died screaming; honey, ask me, I should know, I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door. [b][sup]▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃[/sup][/b]
