[ ugh, this callout... his feelings about lady junah had gotten more complicated over this past couple of months too, and yet he's been carrying her old bracelet around in his backpack since the day she left. ]
...Yeah. Got left behind right there in the house, that one.
Not that it would've been hard to recognise no matter where it got dropped.
[ what with the way she took a hammer to the damn thing. ...which makes it all the more obvious that he's holding onto it for embarrassing personal sentimental reasons, when she'd been so eager to get rid of it herself. ]
True. It looked proper dinged up, like. [He's almost on the verge of teasing him like he normally might, but he's a little worried about Junah since she vanished, which surely has to mean Fidelio is too. All he can do is hope that there's not much to worry about.]
Least it's in good hands. You should tell Will, if you haven't already.
[Since he's friends with Junah too? Co-conspirators? Whatever's going on with them that they don't want to share, anyway.]
[ it's not like fidelio actually has any objection to telling will where that bracelet ended up, but he has no desire to initiate a conversation about it. he doesn't owe him that when lady junah's been with the two of them so much longer.
Tch. Hadn't even really known her a month before we came here, had he?
[ though he tries to say it casually, it's easy to tell it's a little defensive. he's sure will already knows things about her that she never let on to them, and it bothers him more than he'd care to admit. ]
Aye, she took to them right quick. But I don't think you gotta be jealous -- I can't forget what she told us after you confronted her.
[About wanting to give them more than just despair. Fidelio's better at reading her than he is, but Basilio thinks she was speaking sincerely, then, whatever ducking and dishonesty Fidelio thinks she did through the rest of the conversation.]
You won't remember it all, but she fretted over you when you were down with your bad foot, too. Even pulled strings to bring Saint Rella along, check you were sound, didn't she?
I'm not jealous. And I know she feels somethin' for us, even if she's hiding her real motives.
[ it's not like he's forgotten what she'd said back then either; and he may not remember much from during his recovery, but he remembers enough from before and after to be pretty sure it wasn't all an act. wouldn't have been any sense in any of it if she hadn't been acting on genuine concern. ]

If he asks about it, I will.

[Not as much as Fidelio, no one can top that -- but it's just he kind of person Will is.]

I'm not arguing otherwise.

[All their arguing lately doesn't sit right with him, so he won't drag the conversation out.]
Might be for the best she's not caught up in all this, anyway. Got enough goin' on at home without her in harm's way here, yeah?
