Everybody loves a media circus and the trial of Rafael Giovanni is no exception. If he was famous before, in the days following the shooting, now he's all people are talking about, and all the tabloids want to focus on. The complications presented at some of the early hearings by Jaka, regarding the identity of the Black Scourge and Rafael's alleged reaction have only made the story more appealing to the millions watching.

They've also caused the trial to drag out for months as facts are checked, evidence is poured over, and the jury becomes only more split on the issue. In the meantime, the holidays fly by, and one of the most terrible winters in years blankets Chicago in blizzards.

This log covers any work and non-work related shenanigans the Knights have while staying in Chicago, immediately following the last log and continuing for the next couple months. This will be the Knight's last time in Chicago before the trial: after which they plan to return to the castle to fully Knight Violet and Elena and decide where to head next.

Make your own threads, don't fuss about tag order, feel free to threadjack multiple people into one thread for hang-outs, ask me if you want a certain scene with an NPC, etc. forever whatever.

I love him, Elena. Of course he's worth fighting for, but... I don't think he wants to be fought for. He only wants to be left alone.

[notaroundme]

What he wants is for his problems to go away.

[And some people dealt with that the wrong way.]

I highly doubt he doesn't want you anymore. Everyone wants to be fought for, they just don't always know how to show it the right way. It's up to you to decide if continuing to try is doing you more harm than good or not.

[witchwoman]

I'm tired of fighting. [Her voice is so, so quiet.] He doesn't want me, Elena. He let me go. Everyone wants to be fought for? He couldn't even roll over in bed when I left. Why should I do all the fighting? I'm tired. I love him but I'm tired of being the only one who cares.

[notaroundme]

Then it's not worth it. You're amazing, Myri, and if he's not willing to make sacrifices? Then you're better off without him.

[And now she's super pissed at Finnick because who the hell does that?]

[witchwoman]

[She shakes her head, smiling sadly.]

I'm not so certain. We were better together, but we haven't been together in quite some time.

[notaroundme]

[She's not going to keep disagreeing with her, so instead she's just going to hug her tightly.]

I'm sorry, Myri.

[witchwoman]

[She's just in a contrary mood, determined to be sad while also being determined to not be? It's strange and she doesn't understand her own emotions. So the moment Elena's arms wrap around her, she feels tears spring to her eyes.]

Thank you. [She says muffled as she buries her face into her squire's shoulder.]
