A sigh. Breathless body and beatless heart shouldn’t react so humanly to the given situation, but if there’s one thing that these supposedly beings of death do well, then it’s emulating human behaviour. They behave as though they are still alive, some more than others, and they’re often unconscious of these demeanours until someone points them out to them, or when they’re sitting amidst only themselves and some introspection and observation suddenly reveals these things.
Han is semi-conscious of them. Han, though, doesn’t really care about these things. No, he cares more about the situation, about the reason he’s here. He knows the Saja he’s standing next to is experienced, on one hand because he stands by his side, rather than at the side of the newbies he’s staring at, and on the other, you can tell by the way they hold themselves, by how naturally their hats sit on their heads, just how long an individual reaper has been a reaper.
Han has been doing his own job for far too long himself. Although it doesn’t seem as though those centuries of experience protect him from new surprises.
The two reapers before him - he hasn’t found monikers for them yet, but he’s definitely thinking of a few now - have their heads lowered, eyes seeking either the shoes encapsulating their feet or the ground beneath them. And on a normal day, repenting is enough if the charge is this young. But this is... Goodness, what is this. “All the things that went wrong... Saja,” the two instantly lift their head, causing Han to stop before he can finish his sentence and wave at them dismissively, pointing with his thumb at the older among them in the same motion.

Then he turns. Maybe actually facing the man will help differentiate who he’s referring to. His lips part, just as his eyes capture the crown attached to the reaper’s front. Huh. Okay, King Saja it is. “I can tell you’ve been doing this for a while. Could you tell us, from your personal experience, why, when we mess with the mind of a person, we do it 1. rarely, 2. minimally, and 3. certainly not to the point of keeping them stuck in a hallucination that forces them to see worms everywhere they look?”
And with that line, he points, without looking, to the table he’s standing next to. Or, rather, to the man hiding underneath it, with his palms firmly pressed against his eyes. Han’s presence helps blocking him from view: the way he’s standing would force someone to see him before they could see the man, and perception brushes past him like water on ducks. But that doesn’t block him from the view of Han himself and the reapers, two of which would rather look anywhere else. His hand returns into the pocket of his trousers. “What are all the things that went wrong there?”
