Nero, that genuinely charming smile doesn't make the results of your teasing leave Martin's face immediately. Mostly he just looks indignant on top of mortified; not exactly a winning facial expression.

"I mean ideally there shouldn't be anyone suffering. Especially not for some pomped up magical despot who's upset that someone made him share information that he should've been sharing anyway!"

His voice gets a little tense there, a bit high-pitched in his indignation. "W-we-- none of us here have done anything, I'm fairly sure I'm only in jail because I have literally anything to do with Jon, that's entirely unreasonable! He didn't deserve to get nearly killed because he offended some stuffy old wizard and he damn well doesn't deserve to be made a martyr for it, especially since I imagine we're all going to suffer whether or not he's alive to see it!"
