To be fair, I didn't think there was that much of a risk. In a normal legal system, that so-called evidence wouldn't have been enough to pin anything on me. All they even proved was that an animal with brown fur could have potentially been involved in making some footprints near where someone died.
They offered something that had been taken from me that I had no other way of getting back. If they were somehow telling the truth about that, then great. And if not, there'd be one less person I'd have to worry about killing me.
[ Zelos thinks about making a joke that by that logic, what they offered would've gone to Money, not him, but he decides it's probably not worth it. ]
That's the smart way to look at it, at least. Two birds with one stone.
[ There's a small, contemplative noise that comes from his side of the mirror, and what sounds like a shifting of the bed, as moves to a sitting position. ]
Not that it makes that much of difference, anymore.

[ He's going the opposite route and getting more comfortable, lying back against his pillow with his arm behind his head. ]
If I had to choose between getting murdered and getting executed, though, I'd choose this. At least I wasn't anyone's prey.
