[Video clicks on to Valmont, he looks... more relaxed than he has in a while, actually. Not happy mind, he still looks quietly dissatisfied with his surroundings, but relaxed none the less.]

The complaints being made about whatever Rex did in the port? Are coming from a young lady who is clearly reacting to her distress about something that someone else did to her, and a man who still feels it necessary to complain about the lack of a fair trial when being righteously judged in the afterlife.

One is a product of misdirected pain, and the other is, frankly [Pause as he searches for another way of phrasing this... and fails to find one] shit stirring. Responding to them with ire or reason won't put them to rest, so let it go. Don't validate them.

[He shrugs slightly, leaning against his desk.] Rex wasn't even the one who sent us to the land of the dead, after all. He merely prolonged our stay there somewhat.

Very wise of you, Valmont.

You look well.

It doesn't take a lot of observing to figure it out. The girl... Wanda, isn't it? She was openly talking about how she didn't want him to be treated as leniently as Franklin had been. Honestly, as frustrating as it was to read her arguments, it was just as bad to see a group of adults blithely castigating her for what was clearly a response to trauma.

[Pause]

And thank you. I feel well. I actually didn't find the port too troubling.

She did not deserve to be bullied or spoken down to. Still, I believe reason is a better response than silence. There's little need to confirm her beliefs that we simply do not care...however short-sighted that is. Pain and betrayal make it very difficult to understand why others behave the way they do.

Nonetheless. I don't believe I've ever heard that term you used to describe Rodolphus before.

That's true, I suppose. Honestly, I wouldn't have known what to do or say to make her feel any better.

Oh.

[Pause]

Do they use the same... vernacular as we do for excrement where you're from?

I am sure I wouldn't know the language that young people like yourself use.

[Yeah he's fucking with you Valmont.]

I can gather the meaning by what you said, however. And more importantly, what he said.

I can't say I entirely blame you. His post was made with the intent to provoke reactions, and there's something extremely satisfying about telling a man like that exactly what you think of him...

I'm actually completely with you. I think Wanda's got more of a personal interest for some reason, because this is twice people who she considered friends have accidentally dicked her over while intending they were helping her. But it's nothing to overreact to. She has a bad history and just wants him to be held accountable. That's all. The other guy's just bein' a douchebag.

My feelings more or less exactly. She's not unjustified in her anger, it's merely... somewhat misdirected and her past experiences have compounded her feelings.

Look, all I'm saying is, it came across like you're blowing people off from having legitimate concerns... Whether or not that's what you intended. One of 'em might not be filtered in on this, but that won't stop someone who is from cluing her in.

And that's going to get people riled up, in itself.

Maybe I'm wrong. Just tellin' it how I see it.

You see it wrong. LeStrange does not have legitimate concerns, and Wanda... doesn't need to be shouted down by a group of people thinking she's just trying to play the blame game with Rex and his warden.

People here will get riled up either way, if they insist upon doing so then let them.

There's also a white skull painted over his face, but he's snapped out of Ner'zhul. Which could be pretty ironic.]

[Valmont blinks. He's... kind of used to only seeing snatches of Arthas, before Shendu takes over, so he's guessing that's what Arthas is talking about.]

Probably not. He has been quiet lately though, so perhaps more than anticipated.

At the moment, I'm assuming you're not strong enough to force him to recede at will, but know that I'm positive you have the potential to be. Your body is what your mind was born to inhabit; he will never be able to use it to its full extent. It will always be ...

[He's quietly studying his own hands, tapping the fingers in turn to make sure he can move and feel all of them. One two three four five. Sometimes the only way to tell that Ner'zhul is the one he is at any given time is the nagging feeling that there's more alien than familiar about the human form.]

... ill-fitting. I've seen that he knows what you're doing when you are in control. Have you ever been able to do the same?
