[ Initially he shakes his head, staring at a particularly interesting spot on the ground before he frowns. ]

They didn't tell me, as it seems they told no one. But I can posit a guess. I have shed some blood since I arrived.

[ Between another run-in with Puck, and monsters here and there. In the dark of the woods, his Shadow had felt... empowered. But he won't sit and blame his darker half for all that he's done; they're two sides of the same coin, and a reason is not an excuse. ]

I'm willing to account for my actions. But that includes getting you out of here, as that blame lies with me as well. [ Even if recklessness is part of what got him in here, even if he isn't blameless, he's willing to act as necessary, when necessary, to right at least a fraction of the many wrongs committed here. ]

I made the decision to slice your palm when I could have used my own blood. The blame doesn't lie with you.

[ it was a well-intended act to salvage an unfavorable situation.

even if it was a result of dimitri's impulsiveness at the time, bloodshed for the sake of repairing a lantern is not due cause for punishment. ]

The Hierarchy are the ones who will have to answer to this.

[ Dimitri isn't blameless, even if Vincent is gracious about the situation. Still, he knows the core crux of the problem isn't on his head—that lies on the Hierarchy, and their decisions. ]

...At least we can agree on that.

[ That gives him some reason to want to escape, at least. ]

What will you do if you escape here? [ He doubts Vincent is as reckless as he is, not ready to charge up to the Hierarchy's doorstep and demand answers, but he's curious what his plan is all the same. ]

I suspect our sudden imprisonment is connected to the murders last month. Ten of their members were slain during the festival.

[ they wouldn't have taken such drastic measures otherwise, indiscriminately rounding up any restless who'd spilt even a drop of blood. ]

They most likely believe that the one responsible is among us. [ it's rather desperate and tactless, yet it seems befitting for a group in power that don't seem to hold much regard for those they lead. ] If my suspicions are— [ he pauses for a moment as he covers another round of coughs. ]

If they're correct, [ he clears his throat. ] then the opposition may be a group rather than an individual who has a vendetta against them and they're enough of a threat for the Hierarchy to respond in panic.

[ so what is he going to do? ]

I intend to look into it.
