[He waits for Murasaki to respond -- not that he would answer anyway with the initial response.
And his answer makes him close his eyes, and take in a deep breath. He holds it for a moment before exhaling slowly. Nice opens his eyes after that, and finally looks over at Murasaki.]
I figured that would be your answer.
[He looks away after a minute, back to staring off into space. Sentiment wasn't really either of their strong points, but Nice almost prefers it that way. Really, he wouldn't know if he would be able to deal with anyone trying to give him pity or words of comfort other than this right now. It isn't really often that he even goes to Murasaki for what's on his mind...but it'll probably be talked about eventually through his stay in here.]
...So you understand.
[Except replace "partner" with "friend", and that's essentially it. Murasaki can't even get angry with him or tell him he's irrational, either, because he had just said he'd do or think the same things.
It might not be like him, but this situation wasn't exactly like one he'd handled around Murasaki before.]
