Torin likes Linden's insistence that Jason shouldn't have hit the Avox. It's a mindset he rarely sees in Two. "Cruelty is always a sign one should have known better." He sighs, and the tone of his voice shifts to a weary one that knows it's probably being recorded by Peacekeepers. He hopes that Linden will understand that, especially given the way Torin kind of rolls his eyes back towards the door and gives a quick, jerking nod. "Despite that, responding with violence against a Capitolite for such a minor offense is still a crime." He'd apologize for saying that later, and he's only barely managing to keep all the distaste out of his voice. It probably shows some on his face, too.

Torin's voice resumes its normal "I'm not saying what they want me to say" tone. "The Peacekeeper who let me in here is my brother-in-law. I've got connections." There's a wry smile. "I may not be able to talk them into releasing you into my custody, but I believe I can make sure you get the best accommodations...such as they are." There's a nod when Linden brings up the word Jason's spreading. "And I can also offer something to counter what he's saying about you. They'll likely listen to me here, and the ones from Two would probably rather believe me than him. If they get to talking, it's a round of rumors to counter his." Torin looks thoughtful. "And I believe it wouldn't be out of line for me to buy my brother-in-law's squad a round of drinks tonight. Just as a gift for their service and hard work, you understand."
