[ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA a stupid charming cowboy got karlach so bad. ]
Quite cruel to come after me when your feelings for him are so strong. Very well. In a show of good will, I release you from your expectation to court me. We can remain..... friends.
It is the capital city of Xhorhas, sitting above ground. Arcanists have made the sky into an endless night to shield us from the sun. It looks like Roth.
[ they sigh quietly. ]
We have a sun festival for the Luxon every so often. The artificial sky is dismissed for a while so worship can be done for the Luxon from those who believe in the faith.
[ HELP DON'T JUST SAY THIS. they kind of... very mildly snort under their breath. ]
If others choose to have their own faith, that is fine. My mother follows the faith of the Luxon. My brother, to a certain degree as well, though he is not a zealot.
[ stop that don't take that as a win get outta here ]
I guess it depends on what you mean by afterlife. My people have a way to... participate in reincarnation, so that is what usually comes after death for us, if we happen to be consecuted.

I'm afraid you aren't... what I'm interested in. You will have to move on without me.
[ reverse unos her ]
I'm sure the cowboy is the next best thing.
no subject
Oh, good, honestly, I -- what? [she's so distracted by this that she forgets she rejected him like BWUH]
no subject
What?
no subject
very small, very quietly sad pause, and then:]
Well, the cowboy's - you know, he's dead, so that doesn't -- [...] What the fuck did I just say to you actually!
no subject
[ RUDE. ]
He may be dead, but has that kept your from your feelings about him?
no subject
... No. [mutters, tail curling around her ankle.] Holding that fucking torch forever, I guess.
[that is somehow less embarrassing to admit than the fact that she rejected him for absolutely no reason]
no subject

she actually fluffs up like wow!! hey! fuck u!! and then realizes she didn't actually want to date war so now it's just like wait, why am i mad.]
Hey.
no subject
-- Wait! You said we're friends!

Don't get carried away.

[if you were less reluctant about it she would not be like this buddy]
Hey, speaking of, best friend, bet you like the new place this week.
no subject
opening their mouth. shutting their mouth. don't just keep saying best friend. ]
It's... familiar to home, yes.
no subject
Gale's been chattering about it nonstop already. [...] What's your favorite part?
no subject
I'm not surprised.
[ when does gale NOT chatter about anything really. they pause for a long moment as if thoughtful. ]
The city of Roth. It reminds me of Rosohna, the city where I live.
no subject
I saw a bit of that. It was really pretty, honestly, even if it's all dark. [...] What's Rosohna like? Have you got like festivals and things?
no subject

no subject
Whoa, wait, so it's not the Underdark? That's insane magic. [o:] Do you believe in the Luxon or whatever?
no subject
No. My people rose from the Underdark long ago after turning away from Lolth, making a city above ground.
[ ... ]
...No, I do not. I believe religion can be a sort of crutch others lean on when they have no way of explaining things to themselves.
no subject
[lmao]
I think I could've guessed that, though. You're not very big on faith. Me either.
no subject
If others choose to have their own faith, that is fine. My mother follows the faith of the Luxon. My brother, to a certain degree as well, though he is not a zealot.
It just... is not for me.
no subject
Pretty good way to look at it, I guess!
Does that mean you don't believe in like, an afterlife or whatever?
no subject
I guess it depends on what you mean by afterlife. My people have a way to... participate in reincarnation, so that is what usually comes after death for us, if we happen to be consecuted.
