Away from the main conversation, Hermès looks at Thirchi, then at Charlotte, and then looks down at the floor as she lies down.

"Well, that's definitely something, but how else would you interpret going for the throat other than an attempt to kill? Doesn't seem like he needs a damn reason to me..." Hermès mutters to herself.

Jolyne, who's been relatively quiet about this, looks up, turning her head so that she can look at Hermès. "Well, if he wanted to make the fight quick, then the throat would be the logical place to attack - as long as you don't damage it too badly, you'll subdue the opponent rather quickly."

"...you're not seriously arguing for that guy, are you, Jolyne?" Hermès looks at her friend with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course not - I would've done the same thing if I was in her position." Jolyne nods at Charlotte, then looks back at Hermès. "But it seems less to me like he wanted to kill her and more like he wanted to take charge. The guy probably doesn't like having to rely on others - and remember how he was when he got in here? I don't think he would've survived if not for her, pretty sure he realized that too...and considering how he was eyeing those scars on her back, this probably wasn't his first attempt, and that clearly wasn't successful. If I had to guess, he was just trying to prove to himself that he didn't need anyone by trying to take leadership again, and doing it quickly this time..."

"So, he went for the throat." Hermès concludes, seeing her friend's logic.

"He went for the throat." Jolyne nods. "Kicking him out was the best move - he'll quickly need to swallow down his pride one way or another if he wants to survive. When we see him next, he'll either be humbled, or he'll be dead. I'm sure of it."
