catch-all for nonon.
image goes here later!!
['sup, nonon. this is probably unexpected, given that they don't usually chat, but ray's here to say something—]
I need to talk to you about something in the study.

[ Yeah, it does take her by surprise, but okay. Nonon nods easily enough. She's got a good enough read of Ray's character that this probably won't be for nothing. ]
All right. Let's go.
All right. Let's go.
[thanks for not putting up a fuss, nonon! off they head to the study.
once they're there, ray speaks.]
So, are you Strung Red? You seemed pretty amused by Catra and Rachel's plight—oh, Justice's given a temporary pardon for any reveals that occur in this room, so you don't need to worry about breaking the rules.

[ Nonon has an air of effected nonchalance, but the look in her eyes go sharp. ]
I would've been amused by anyone's plight. [ She's a tad bit sadistic. ] Why do you want to know?
[ She's not going to say yes or no without knowing the reason behind the question. The fuss is delayed, sorry. ]

I already know you're aligned with Love. She confirmed it for me—since I'm also one of her followers.

[ That gets a small laugh out of her. ]
Is that so? Then, yes. Will you explain now?

I expect that to be kept in confidence. If it leaks, trust me: you'll be one of my first suspects.
Anyway, to be honest, your ability was more for my own curiosity for anything. I just wanted you to confirm your alignment with your own mouth—though I wasn't lying when I said that Love had already done so.
[...]
At this point, I'm aware of most of Love's followers. I want to organize a meeting on Sunday between all of us, since we should all have an investment in maintaining our lead.
The others have agreed. What about you?

[ Nonon smiles. She doesn't like the implication of some of his words, but she likes his attitude. ]
Sure, if you tell me what ability you picked.
[ She's curious, too, and clasps her hands behind her back. ]
I'm flippant and rude, but believe me when I say I want us to keep our lead. To tell anyone anything that would damage it would be foolish. I don't do anything to lose.

Love did say that—that you were driven to win and that we aren't entirely dissimilar in that regard.
Hopelessly Devoted.

[ She grins. ]
Oh? It'll be a pleasure to work with you, then. I like people with drive.

Likewise, as long as said drive isn't against me.
We'll just have to stop anyone before they can get anywhere with that kind of drive.
[he makes a vaguely amused sound.]
Yeah, I get the feeling we're the two jerks among the Love faction.

Enough people still think stereotypically of love that it helps us more than not for now.
[ sometimes, being an asshole is a good thing. ]

I'm pretty sure something like Cunning is some people's first guess for me, so yeah.
[wherever nonon is, ray approaches her, his expression blank. and then—]
Did you kill Fortune?
[apparently getting right to it]

[ She wasn't that tired at the end of the trial because that was so stressful, but Ray's question immediately makes her tired.
She looks offended. ]
No. I thought she was cute.
[ As if that's a good defense. ]

That seems about right. I don't know what people think of me, but I doubt it's Love.
[ ... ]
How long is the temporary pardon for the study?

I don't murder for sport like it seems like today's culprit did.

Well, I give Justice an offering to let him know that I need the pardon, since we arranged it beforehand.
Technically speaking, you could consider it a pragmatic move made in the same of victory.
... Though not a great one, since it's been established today that Love will be a popular target for votes.

[no shut up
he shrugs.]
He reminds me of my siblings. That's all.

Has anyone ever told you you're difficult? I like to put on a show but not like that is what I meant.
[ She's still offended. ]
... Yeah, thanks to the furry. Do you want me to put it plainly? I've killed no one. Here or elsewhere.
