amygdalae: a typhoon in the eye of the hurricane (like fire and ice and rage)

[Bruce is

so tired

to put it lightly.

After their meeting initially disbands Bruce heads down the chapel first, because he feels like he needs to go down and apologize to everyone down there. For suffering through this, for... being played with, all this time, by the Kingmaker. Bruce wasn't blinding himself to the truth of that but it stings all the same. No matter what they did, it wasn't as if it was of any use anyway. The Kingmaker knew everything.

It feels more or less like a giant slap in the face.

He spends a fair amount of time there, stopping by each portrait and giving each one their apologies, lingering the longest at the pictures of Aqua and King. Even as ghosts, they're still here in a sense... and he needs to do his part for them, as much as he can. They all need to do something soon. But not right now.

He does come to the gathering soon enough, but for the most part he sticks to a corner with some food and looks through his notebook, occasionally scribbling down a couple of notes. He's certainly open enough for conversation, though how much you can get one with him depends on who you are.

(If you're Sigrun or Black, chances are you won't get much. At least for now.)

...much later, close to nighttime, if you happen to be near the bar you'll see Bruce rummaging through the shelves here in search of something... which turns out to be alcohol that he's drinking from should you look at his room. It's unlocked and the door is open, and Bruce is sitting at floor with his back against the bed, drinking straight from the bottle.

For a guy who has 'alcohol' listed as a dislike on his profile, the fact he's drinking now certainly isn't a nice indication of how he's feeling.]
