[ i, personally, appreciate yves for trying, but laurence is thinking that it's clearly just too much to for an outside perspective to understand. his relationship with iris is complicated at best, something even he doesn't always understand, so it must be impossible for someone else to really get it. ]
...I didn't really get it, but he was always talking about leaving the Tower. Even for something as stupid as [ glances up at the sky, gesturing vaguely ] seeing the stars from the outside.
And while he was still there, he was a huge troublemaker - always using his powers, even when he wasn't supposed to. No one liked him, anyway, except some old hag he was always hanging out with. So I thought, if he wanted to go outside so bad, maybe it'd be better for all of us. No more Iris, no more trouble. Not that that worked out.
[ shakes his head. ]
If I'd known the guy he went with was a criminal, I would've done something.
[ yves glances up at the stars, and hums thoughtfully at that
softly: ] ... I think if I never got to see the stars, but I knew they existed, I'd want to see them too. And if I was in a place that wouldn't let me leave, but someone I knew gave me a chance... I'd be grateful.
Even if it was dangerous after.
But... it's okay. To have regrets. Just like it's okay to believe that you choices with the information you had at the time.
That's the idea. Maybe if I could practice my portals while we were here, I'd be a little less worried about it... I just don't want to lose any time when I don't know for sure how he's doing.

[ sighs. always thinking too big for the tower... that was always iris's problem. ]
Maybe he is grateful. But he could also be brainwashed, and I can't just let him stay with some murderer who wants his powers for who knows what.
[ as for regrets... he's refusing to look at yves. bringing iris back to the tower, back to safety, would resolve all of that, anyway. ]

[ but he'll just lightly bump shoulders with him as they hang out ]
Okay. I think it's for the best to move forward with what you think you can tackle, and if that's what you want to do... then go for it.

Did you talk to the angels about getting a space to practice portals...?
