[ He listens, her words providing a tiny flicker of hope. Maybe he's overthinking this - but why would a fake crime need a sentence? ]
A fake crime? [ He glances at the roll of paper in his hand. ] I don't know that mine is fabricated, but I don't know that I'm not guilty of what I've been charged with. However, it also cannot be proven that I am guilty - at least to a criminal extent. But indeed, mine is also quite personal.
[ His grip tightens slightly on the paper. Hermes should probably leave well enough alone, but her mention of the universe reminds him that this is not Etheirys. Though his hosts seem quite strict, perhaps that isn't the case of others that have been chosen. A vast universe should contain a variety of perspectives, and he had once dreamed of listening to as many as he could come across. Perhaps he should properly start. ]
Is disturbing the peace a crime where you are from? Such is my charge.
[ He rubs a hand against the back of his head, a little embarrassed. It sounds much less serious saying it aloud. ]
