Julien starts to turn smartly and stops, his shoulder rigid, pedipalps rubbing again. He should... he doesn't like to disappoint...
"It wasn't torture, if that helps at all. It was being kept in a dark place where the only food is, you know, transformed people you people killed, and the water's filled with poison that gives you fun, fresh new changes!" He bobs his fuzzy palps and closes them over his mouth once more. Julien doesn't really know how the hunt went, of course, and under his light tone is a detectable trace of hostility. "Some of the people there've been there so long they forget how to speak."
Julien's sweating. He really shouldn't be talking about these things. He's said way more than is safe. Maybe if he spins it so it's not helpful - it's not, he doesn't know anything - and stops talking it'll be okay. He swallows and forces his tone to evenness, trying not to give away the sudden fear. "Do realize I'm only telling you any of this so it will trouble you, please! And now, you're right, I have others to attend to. Please, enjoy the party."
