anyway. ahhh, well, his eyes absolutely well up with tears and he sucks in a big, deep breath, and stares up at the sky overhead, and says in the tiniest voice: ]
[ they are inwardly panicking again because there are emotions and tears wow. it's fine.
they watch him curiously for a long moment, and then they glance up as well. forgot they were just out here by the pyre where technically there is probably 828383 people. ]
I did not say goodbye to my father either before he left and never returned. So, in a way, I understand. It feels - unfinished.
...Oh. [ oh. oh that's. bad. first of all it's absolutely like. this is the most War thing you could ever possibly imagine but second of all... ] That's...
[ ... ]
Life's really short, isn't it? We never... we never know when the last conversation we have will be our last.
I... on... I imagine on Thursday, you're probably aware of what happened. [ ... ] I was wondering if... on Monday, if you could create a veil for us for a short time. I... intend to use the cabinet's item to bring Miss Camille back, and... I'm sure she will have a reaction, so...
[ thinks about him offering to jump of a cliff. fair enough!!
ah... his smile softens a little further, fond. ]
You've offered me more than enough. [ please. ]... Do you think we could go up and look at the stars again? I want to try and remember them, for a little longer.
[ currently my literal only knowledge of elden ring is whatever alli says in chat and also that this dude jumpscares me every time i see him on twitter so i believe you 100%.
off they go!! this time, rondo's the one who is very quiet on the walk up, but - maybe it's a nice silence? it's peaceful, or... thoughtful, or who knows which. it's just been a long week. and when they're nearly there - when he has to look away from the spot where camille died and turn his face upwards, towards the sky, towards the future: ]
...I've one more very small favor to ask you. If you could pick out a few books from the library to bring back, would you be willing to do so? Just...things you think would be interesting. Or... things that you think maybe other people would like to read.
they will give rondo some peace without forcing any sort of conversation. very war of them. we will not acknowledge where camille was demolished.... ]
Hmm.
[ they have to mull it over a minute. mostly because they are... a wizard, so the things they read is such a specific genre for the magic hyperfixiated. ]
One of the books about basic survival. A cookbook. And... an anthology of fairytales, or some other such stories.

It was better that you didn't. You remember her as you last saw her.

...I'm so sorry, War, that's... terrible.
[ oh... he looks over, expression soft, sympathetic, immediately. ]
How old were you...?
no subject
It's... not about me.
[ JUST TO REMIND THIS DINGDONG HERE. don't perceive him. ]
Old enough to tell him he had no aspirations in an argument which made him go into the depths of Bazzoxan where he never returned.
no subject
anyway he's perceiving but what do you expect. ]

also your entire society is built on very matriarchal hierarchies. ]
Yes, that is true. I think the two of you will meet again one day.
no subject
oogh. rondo's quiet for a second with that, gaze coming back to the pyre. blue fire, blue flame. ]
...I hope so. I'd... based on some of the things we've spoken of here, I... hope so.
[ ... ]
On... Monday, can I ask you a favor? I have a plan.
no subject
they glance at rondo for a moment. ]
Very well. Does this plan have anything to do with noble sacrifice...?
[ LOOKING AT HIM ]
no subject
Um. No?
[ HE DOESN'T THINK SO??? ]
I... on... I imagine on Thursday, you're probably aware of what happened. [ ... ] I was wondering if... on Monday, if you could create a veil for us for a short time. I... intend to use the cabinet's item to bring Miss Camille back, and... I'm sure she will have a reaction, so...
no subject
I see. I will talk to the others. If a veil is needed, then we will give you one.
no subject
he seems to just like - sag a little in relief, at that, finally. some of the tension bleeds out of his shoulders, and he nods. ]
...Thank you.
[ there's a very long pause, after that, and he reaches up to rub his hand over his face. ]
It has been... a very long week. But... at least there's that to look forward to.
no subject
I wish there was more I could offer you; however...
[ they are atrocious at the comfort thing, ok. at least, getting the nerve to offer it readily on their end without being bullied. ]
no subject
ah... his smile softens a little further, fond. ]
You've offered me more than enough. [ please. ]... Do you think we could go up and look at the stars again? I want to try and remember them, for a little longer.
no subject
Very well. I don't mind.
[ it did remind them of home anyway. so of course they enjoy the roth city which is definitely not the soifra river from elden ring. ]
