[He clicks his tongue against his teeth at that.]
Ja, that's certainly true. Clearly it couldn't possibly be someone like her, despite the fact that we all were brought here in the first place.
[Sure, some people seem like they couldn't kill anyone ever, but is that really the case? He doesn't buy that.]

[We're both bitching about the same thing at the same time, at each other, and that's weird to an extent that he's just not going to think about it.]
And of course it's the fact that it's a child that was harmed that made all of this reprehensible, not that someone died at all.

That's fair, ja.
[It's certainly not a surprise that it's what Alexei chose to do, but in this one instance, Alexei is right.]
It seems he didn't even mind you abstaining... I'm a bit surprised, I thought he'd at least make a show of pointing out the people who weren't playing along.

I imagine he'd be fine with it once, just to put us in our place and remind us who has the power here. A repeat performance would certainly irritate him. But then again, he is a tricky one, and I won't claim I understand exactly what it is he's looking for in all of this.
Besides sadism, presumably.
[He sighs a bit at that; he's still feeling twitchy, mildly agitated about this entire thing.]
It will be whatever it will be, I suppose. I do wonder how he plans to dispose of Zola - I understand that someone will be selected to execute her, but that tells us little.

[Certainly he has more of a reason than just sadism!! But anyway.]
I'm curious about that as well. He really didn't give us much information to go on... I suppose we'll find out soon enough, but whatever it is he has planned, it'll undoubtedly be entertaining for him.

[He's quiet for a moment at that; it isn't... It's something that doesn't feel right to him, and he isn't about to get into the reasons why with Yeager, but it draws up something that he's been trying rather hard not to think about.
It leads to thoughts of what he's doing back home. What he should be doing now, and instead, he's...]
Undoubtedly.
[...]
Do what you will with the evening. I have no directions for you at this time, outside of again insisting that you do nothing stupid or regrettable with your time.

Of course, milord.
[It doesn't get a proper bow from him because there's always the possibility someone could walk by, but he rests a hand on his chest and ducks his head to mimic one anyway.]
I can assure you I won't do anything I'll regret~
[...considering it's coming from yeager, that much probably isn't surprising...]

[Normally he wouldn't be here; he would leave well enough alone, and take his assumptions with him, and that would be the end of it. But it's been a bad week, and honestly? There are only so many ways that Yeager could possibly make it worse.
In the end, that's what he'll tell himself more or less brings him to Room 4; the knock is unhesitating, but not overly demanding. If Yeager isn't here, he's content in the knowledge that he did the bare minimum that no one asked him to do and he can move on with his life.]

[At this point, Yeager isn't sure if he's expecting Alexei to swing by or not. What point would there be in it, anyway? It's not like it'll matter in the end. Either they'll assume he's guilty and vote for him the next opportunity they have, or everyone will forget about it by the next time someone dies. Either way, it hardly matters for Alexei; it's not like Yeager is his most useful tool here, after all.
The knock at the door draws his attention, and after a moment he gets it. He looks as put-together as always, though his expression is certainly more blank than usual. It immediately shifts into his usual smile and he steps back to allow Alexei to enter.]
You didn't need to stop by to check on me, you know~
[There's nothing pointed or angry in the words. There isn't anything, really. But once he's let Alexei in and shut the door behind him, Yeager takes a seat on the bed.]
Is there something I can do for you, milord?
[That's at least a touch sarcastic, though even that is far less so than usual.]
