“WHAT IS THERE T’BE CONFUSED ABOUT?”
Copperplate spared everyone, in the hopes that any situation could’ve been solved peacefully. Not that they would admit to having such an idyllic view, when they had their image to maintain. Still, their hands were folded behind their back, bereft of weapons or underhanded tricks.
“JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO PRESERVE PEACE AND JUSTICE DOESN’T MEAN I WANNA FIGHT, SUNNY.”
But just because they didn’t desire violence, did not mean they weren’t prepared for the worst. The investigator had witnessed it many times, an abuse of their mercy had left their marks, physically, and emotionally. Many a bone still had cracks, nicks, burns, and bends, all hidden beneath a pressed and tidy suit.
“C’MON, DON’T MAKE ME REGRET TRYIN’ TO BE NICE WITHOUT GETTIN’ SLUGGED IN RETURN, ALRIGHT?”
˚̩͙⚛ All four of Sunny’s eyes carefully studied the other. Whether it was to see for any sign of possible betrayal or just trying to settle their already unnerved mind was unclear. But as Copper continued on with his words they settled further on the realization that they really were being sincere about having no desire to harm them.
˚̩͙⚛ Relief was slow to come but when it did, it was highly noticeable. As their increased height slowly shrank back down to perhaps a height that was just a few inches shorter than usual. Yet still a sign that they were calming down, trusting the investigator’s words.
