I...um...I-i'm fine. Its over.

[It was weird that no one got punished for anything and he has mixed feelings about that, depending on the people involved.]

I'd rather not go into it.

[salamanca]

Suit yourself.

[ Lalo shrugs, content to move on. Mostly. He is curious about one thing, though. ]

I'd like to ask you one thing, though, if I may. It's important. Would that be okay?

[solitarysoul]

Uh...o-okay, I guess. What is it?

[salamanca]

Those talismans. [ Lalo squints at Levi thoughtfully, before pulling some of it off the smoker. ]

Were you wearing one?

[solitarysoul]

Uh, yeah. I made one with my own blood. I'm not sure if it did anything.

[He still has it on him, just in case.]

[salamanca]

You made one? [ That's a surprise! Lalo didn't think anyone but Heartman and Randvi were making them. But it's welcome news! ] Were you wearing it? When that happened?

[ He's too interested and curious to pretend to be empathetic right now. He's like a dog chasing a bone. Intent. Trying to tug apart the seams of the situation. ]

[solitarysoul]

Well, I made one with Heartman. He did most of the work, but I put my blood into it.

Yeah, I was.

[salamanca]

What did it feel like? When you did. What you did. [ Lalo is curious; intent. ]

[solitarysoul]

What do you mean? When I did what?

[When he killed the guy, probably.]

[salamanca]

Mhmm! Did you feel in control of your own [ Lalo waves a hand; he's clearly trying to find the word ] you know, yourself? Your faculties? [ That's a good ten dollar word!!! Lalo sounds quite proud of himself for thinking of it. ]

[solitarysoul]

[So he was right.]

Yeah, I felt like myself. I was just really angry and I don't normally get that angry.
