Well, you were the only person who came to me who was... considering it. But we can keep an eye on you guys whenever we feel like it, and we were paying close attention to Camille in particular. So...
[ she trails off. ]
I don't think my opinion on it matters too much. But how do you feel, after?
As a friend, I would consider your opinion valuable.
[ just sayin'. ]
I don't know. It has been-- Rondo, Asa and Vin are keeping rather mum, but I find I have a difficult time when I am faced with some of the others who are upset, or enraged, or distrustful of keeping myself from trying to explain. Perhaps that is a sign I find myself questioning my own decision.
Well... I think what you guys decided to do was hard, and I'm sure other people were also thinking of doing it. There is just also the added issue of how her body was found, and I think that might have also colored people's opinions.
[ it's always the fooking spooders ]
... you never know what you'll regret until you're already experiencing it. I just don't want it eating at you even more. It wasn't just you.
[ there's a pause, and she will move to push her mask off her face, so that it's instead just resting on top of her head. don't walk behind her now you might get stabbed by the horns. ]
... I was wondering about that. [ ... ] Did it hurt? To hand the glass over?
Hah, I was rather referring to my inability to stop pressing at the boundaries of Mystra, or exploring all the options Karsus himself has left for ascension beyond mortality, but sure. Also my tendency to want the last word in an argument. He was eating it.
[ he will do a wide-eyed blink at the second part, twisting his hands together. ]
... Thank you. It is worth a great deal, actually.
He was definitely eating it. [ just going to agree there. ] You worry as much as you do because you care. And I think it's okay for you to also be selfish within all that worry, too. You're exactly what you need to be.
I suppose I simply ... do not entirely know who I am, without magic. That has been my constant my entire life, and yet it is twice now I've found I've lost it, and been quite adrift without.
[ IT REALLY IS A TIC he talks with his hands constantly. ]
[ her expression turns a little amused when he says the second thing. ]
I just don't like seeing people I care for sad.
[ a pause, and she'll circle back to the first part. ]
You're still you. Less powerful and without something important to you, yes. That hole will always be there until it returns to you. But you stood up to someone who you knew could become destructive at any moment! You try to keep others in mind. You cook really well. It's funny watching you get into arguments with people. Magic may be part of your core of who you are, but you're still pretty magical without it.
[ well, the motivational speech probably helped in the sense that he was thinking about it very much during the moment he was considering just yeeting them both off a cliff.
but help. yeah. laughing. ]
Oh, well excuse me. Would you care to turn to a different topic? What isn't mushy for you?

[ THEY DID NOT PREDICT THE FOOKIN SPOODERS. ]
It was not. And perhaps some of the regret is-- letting it go. The possibility of the item for myself.

[ HE RUNS BEHIND HER AT TOP SPEED TO GET IMPALED no ]
I would be a liar if I say I did not feel some regret. It was offered to me in the first place for that very purpose after all, yes?
But-- Much like last week with Mathis, I would ... prefer to keep a place for kindheartedness. In all of this. I do think that is important.

[ it is!!! a lot to give up!! ]

[ and despite everything he's feeling a little more hopeful about his options. ]
This place has a way of making one feel as if their hands are tied. To exert a little power over it is gratifying.
