He knew Johnny wouldn't be happy, but the cursing takes him by surprise. He thought the other man might at least be a little... relieved?

"I'll deal with it." He has no idea how to deal with it. Before now he would have people to sort out the smallest thing for him. Surely it can't be that hard?

[businessorlibation]

"Not all by yourself. You had to do this because I was weak. I'm not letting you face whatever comes next alone."

Because is somehow Johnny's failure.

[ridofthethrone]

Well that gets a look of disapproval. "I told you before, you're not weak. You were put in a difficult situation."

He looks to the stairs and back again, holding up the knife. "This needs to be put away. Will you take it and put it in your place for now? I'll go down to deal with our friend downstairs."

[businessorlibation]

"Deal with him how? Are you going to hide the body, or...?"

Like, yes, he's taking the knife as he says that, because there's no arguing with that request, but Johnny doesn't have a clear idea of what comes next, and that's scary.

Logan considers the situation for a minute.

"I'll take the body and leave it in a back alley as far as I can bring it. Once the police see who it is, they'll understand that his time ran out. That's what happens when you attack people. I don't expect that they'll look too hard for his killer."

[businessorlibation]

"If it's still snowing, that might help conceal the body for a little longer." The weather's been awful all week, but they can use that to their advantage. Johnny nods quietly.

"Once you're done, come back to me."

[ridofthethrone]

Logan nods and turns to leave, but stops himself. He hesitates, not sure what to say for a moment.

"There's a lot of blood. It will need to be cleaned up once he's gone."

[businessorlibation]

Johnny nods slightly. "I'm aware of that. It's not all going to be cleaned up right at this moment. That's going to take supplies I don't generally have on hand for that amount of blood. The carpets will need replacing entirely, walls painted."

But he also really needs Logan. Wants to help him clean himself up and make sure he's in a good headspace.

[ridofthethrone]

All very sensible, that's a relief. Knowing how to go about all of that is not his area. He nods once more and heads off.

Down a few flights, he pauses, and leans against the wall to catch his breath. His hands are beginning to tremble, but there's no time for that right now. A deep breath, a slow exhale, and he sets off again.

Moving the Black Note is difficult. He's large, heavy, and covered in blood. Logan struggles to get the body over his shoulders, and is slow as he brings it down the stairs. Although that's in part because he's trying to be careful. The last thing he needs is to run into someone. At least his being here so long means he knows the building, knows its rhythm a little better, knows how to leave without attracting attention. Once he's into the streets it will be harder, but he'll take his time, and push his luck to get it further away from Johnny.
