[ The order of lunch brings back an odd feeling. He'd spent a lot of time in and out of this office during his case. Then, it'd been a particular kind of hell, for the both of them. But he cherished his time here; Tomassen had been the first adult in his life, after his father's death, who had actually listened. For that brief moment, he's transported back to that time, albeit without the fear. He's older now. And Rollins would never be able crawl back into the light of day.
That said, he does notice his first question goes unanswered. At least, in the moment. It'll come back around.
In a grim way, it's heartening to know how much Tomassen does know, about Tante Heleen. At least the basics are covered. It isn't the worst of it, but that wasn't the question he asked. Hardly a topic to bring up before lunch, at any rate. ]
She didn't. [ At this, he reaches over to procure the slim set of papers that proves it, sliding them onto Tomassen's desk. ] I paid off the contract. Whatever noise she's making about defaults is just noise.
[ Leaning back in his chair once more, he folds his hands across his stomach, eyes bright but determined. ] I asked Inej if she wanted justice, she said yes.
[ Really a summary of their ongoing conversation the last few days. ]
Heleen made her sign that contract when she didn't even understand Kerch.
