[ Jaime shakes his head. ] Thank you for telling me as much as you have.
[ He's not happy with what he's been told, but... it's good to know. It will help him understand where the Negotiator's coming from a little better and, perhaps more importantly, it will help him understand where Ruka's coming from as well. It's just hard to know what to say or how to say it, particularly when he doesn't know how someone can react to a thing like this.
Either way, Ruka hadn't had to tell him. She could have refused, or lied, or just verified Negotiator's story or do any number of things. That she's willing to share the truth means something. ]
What else would you want to be able to tell me, really?
[ He can't imagine that she'd glean a whole lot from a version of Jaime she directly killed either - he knows himself and while he has a great many skills, talking trauma like that out has never been one of them. ]
