[In Breath of the Wild things are pretty black and white, really, so Revali just...sees Qi Rong as a bad person. How not to? He butchered that guy Marius and tried to make someone else take the blame]
[ flat has seen much worse, both from people completely unrelated to him and people close. he can’t judge any of them because he loves them all. humanity is both good, bad, and all the shades of gray in between. ]
I just think that he couldn’t have been evil from the start. I mean, not that it changes much—he still butchered a guy—but I think he was probably pushed into becoming a monster. And monsters…don’t really understand normal people’s logic.
Even though he may not have been evil from the start, he crossed a threshold when he was evil here. What you do here is what matters.
[Revali gets up from the hammock enough to turn his head over the edge towards Flat]
Don't place yourself in danger because of a misguided faith on other people.
[Marius had the bad luck of being paired with Qi Rong. If Flat had been the roommates instead Qi Rong probably would have an easier time getting to kill Flat, he assumes]
[ at least flat doesn't sound reproachful about it. he smiles up at revali, and falls back on the bed. ]
I guess I'm just a magnet for trouble. That's how it was back home too. [ he chuckles to himself, raising his hand to stare at that last command spell on the back of his hand. ] I should probably find a way to apologize to Sheba, though. I mean, I wouldn't have disliked her if she had killed Marius either, but it was a really bad situation for her, though.
[Oh, great, just great. His roommate is a magnet for trouble. This city is a test of Revali's character in every way: no flying, no wind magic, and with a roommate like Flat. Augh]
You don't have to apologize -- you have done nothing wrong. But you do are right. [Revali lies back on the hammock] Those must have been harrowing times for her.
[Truthfully, Revali feels kind of bad for her, but because he's a tsundere bird he doesn't go to see her and provide some words of kindness. He's leaving that to the most softhearted people in the bunch]
I'll do my best not to cause that much trouble then!
[ he scratches the back of his neck sheepishly, almost as if he were aware that he might be causing more trouble in the future. it's not intentional, he swears, but...as he said it, he's a magnet for it. ]
If you say so, you're probably right. [ he nods. ] I hope that this sort of thing doesn't happen again. I mean, I don't think there's any reason for it, right? Unless you've heard something else. And even if there is...it isn't worth anyone's life. I'm sure of it.
[He's not one to shy away from death, what with being a warrior and all, but this is not a battle. This is something else, and it's placing people in danger. Whatever it is, it can't be worth it]
I will do all I can to stop any deaths from happening again.
Hmm... I'm wondering what we could do. I don't think we can really stop people from leaving their rooms...and if what happened on Thursday night happens again, I don't think we'll know when we'll fall asleep...
You don't have to come up with complicated plans. If you can't stop someone from getting in danger then at least you should try to make sure they stand a chance.
[He's already doing all I can on that regard and he's definitely planning to guard the hotel during the nights, bow in his wings, in case something happens]
[He says that with a nod of satisfaction. Part of him ponders for a moment if Flat would drop on his ass if Revali batted a wing in his direction. Revali, you said 'rough wind', not 'slight breeze'.
It's like...the thing that we're able to do in my world. We're capable of casting spells and wards and all those sorts of things in between. You might know about it as magic, maybe? But in my world that's also different from magecraft.

[Revali had been up there in his hammock, staring at the ceiling. Doesn't even bother to get off when Flat arrives]
Since when were you so friendly with that guy?
[Qi Rong, he means[

But from what I heard from their drama and the little he said… I thought that he couldn’t be a bad person. Just someone that does bad things.
