"Maybe. Wouldn't hurt."

"I will see how terrible decontamination is on my hair."

...she giggles but keeps her comment to herself.

"Good night."

"Good night."

The next morning a judge informs her that she's been charged with trespassing and resisting arrest.

She pleads innocent.

Then she gets handed off to a yellow who explains that the contents of this conversation won't be introduced in court, but yellow needs a description of what happened so she can know what evidence to expect to be introduced and what to look for and who to invite to submit a statement and so on.

She and a bunch of other reds were hanging out to catch singing. They did also listen to meetings but they didn't record them or transmit them and a lot of them were in Quenya and they were there for the music, she knows some of the tunes and can prove it, they were allowed to be in the tunnel it's a red tunnel, she didn't resist arrest Prince Canafinwë saw her get thwacked with a stick while cowering in a corner, the red cop searched them all and nobody was armed or wired.

How many days had they been going to the tunnel, of the meetings that were in Oahk were any of them sensitive or confidential, who else was there, did she flee the cops and why, if so.

She only heard about it three days ago and has only gone twice. She isn't sure what things are sensitive or confidential but nothing sounded super important. She doesn't want to get the other reds in trouble, some of them got away without being thwacked or arrested - she ran because greys with sticks are terrifying -

"Did you know whether they were police officers when you ran?"

"I knew they were greys with sticks in a red tunnel, the specifics of whether they were police or security or - or lost dancers didn't seem very important. I wanted to be out of stick range."

"It's important legally, though, you're not allowed to flee cops but you're allowed to flee lost menacing people who haven't identified themselves or stated you're under arrest."

"I think they didn't say we were under arrest till I was stuck in the corner and the ones who got away were already away. They were all dressed the same but the light wasn't very good and they were really pretty outfits, you could dance in them."

"I can get pictures to submit as evidence. Once they said you were under arrest you cooperated?"

"We all did, we went where they poked us."

"Judge is probably going to ask who else was there."

"I am on probation and have a baby but if I didn't really, really need to not be locked up right now I wouldn't ever -"

"I know. It doesn't sound like they'll be in much trouble, honestly, they should secure the tunnels but it's a stretch to call it trespassing when they haven't."

"What if one of them is on probation and has a baby, I don't want to be the reason those cops go hunt down someone who ran fast enough."

"The law takes into account things like whether people are on probation and have babies, you don't have to."

"My understanding was that the probation part counts negatively."

Sigh. "Yes. Your record says you stole a delivery van, last time."

"Yeah."
