[God, Rhys, why do you cry even when you're happy, Beckett is not fit to untangle the subtleties of your emotions right now. He just wants you to know he thinks you can totally do this.

He lets out a sigh.] I could have known. I did know, someplace. But she... [he trails off, unsure. Because in Rhys's place he would've wanted Angel to do exactly the same thing, but he and Rhys are very different people, after all.]

I don't think he quite grasps such things as morality - and that's coming from me, as you know things are dire. He tried to justify his actions. You know how that ended. And if I see him again it will end the same way. It might stick better the second or third time.

[His tone is not nearly as bloodthirsty as this statement might merit. In fact it's rather cold and straightforward, which is its own kind of creepy.]

...good.

[ It might be a little creepy, but Stein outcreeps Beckett even at his creepiest.

And he's not really against murder when it's someone who has screwed him over. As long as he's not the one getting his hands dirty. Though, in this case, he's not sure he'd be able to stop himself from doing something stupid if Stein got close.

Wiping eye again. Steadying voice. We don't talk about what Angel had to do, no sir.

We move on. ]

But we have more important things to worry about. T-to focus on, I mean.

[He's not sure, personally, if we talk about it or not. Angel probably needs to, though that is for her to say. For all he knows, Rhys might not even remember. He could ask, but - fussing aside, he doesn't want to raise what might not be there. Beckett knows a thing or two about mercy killings and slitting the throat of things that are left of people you once loved. And he knows about things your head understands but your gut might never.

Give it a while. Let things rest. They need a rest, all of them. So very badly.]

Yes... I suppose we have plenty. [Though he's having a hard time thinking about any, right now, beyond the immediate things that Rhys has brought up. It's been happening to him a lot, these moments of finding himself in a white fog. Something, something...] What about Fiona...?
