he even jolts when he sees the plant growing next to him. did he notice? what he was going to do? was he going to kill him in retaliation for what he almost did? russell did not see a reason why that would not be the case--not until the moment it became all too clear what was happening.
why was he apologizing?

I was... I was just about to kill you. Y-you knew, right? [ of course he had to know. he's a knight, and knights fight all the time. ] So...why are you... being this nice?
