flameguard | mygod | pc catchall

[ vin was absolutely definitely here the entire trial. rondo is... here, too. by the pyre as usual, though today he stands, sword tip planted in the ground, hands on the top of his sword. for once, he looks every bit the flameguard. though, in the light of the blue flame, today he just looks tired.

... ]

That... that was your monster, wasn't it...?

[yeah absolutely she participated fully in the whole thing even if she said nothing for mysterious reasons

after a moment, she nods.]

It must have been. I never told him, though, so... I should be safe. And now if someone needs to partner to avoid something unfortunate happening in the future, I should be able to help.

Mm. That's good.

[ ... ]

... I didn't ask you before, but... do you... want to? Partner with someone. After everything Mr. Gale said earlier this week, I've been thinking about it.

[she pauses for a moment.]

There's... people I've offered it to, but only if I think they need a wish badly. I don't particularly want to tie myself to someone unless it's necessary.

[ a little nod. ]

That's how I feel, too. [ ... ] Mr. Gale and I aren't a match. [ so. he was ready for that, too. he rubs a hand across his eyes, tired. ]

[i'm sleepy don't look at me]

Mm. I know what his is already - I think he said that his partner doesn't seem to want to be found.

[ hey if gale's partner dies then you're set

he nods. ]

... That was why I checked. I wanted to make sure it wasn't me.

[ there's a little sigh. ]

Everything here is, as always, much more complicated.

Yes. I think... I'll ask Astarion whether he happens to know whether his partner is alive. If we're both unpartnered, I think he might be willing to use his wish to help Gale, though I haven't brought it up with him yet.

We'll figure it out. And... if something happened to Mr. Gale's, he'll know by tomorrow. Though... we at least know that the one tasked to execution will not have that problem, which is - that's good.

[ thank god. ]

I was a little worried... though I couldn't picture you partnering with Caelus.

It is. Though, I worry about who's going to be called to do it.

[it often seems to be someone close to the guilty, and a few of her faves fit that description. anyways, she makes a face at the next part.]

Yes, I thought it would be a foolish choice to tie my life to someone who licked a crucial piece of evidence.

[be nice he's on death row]

... I would like for it to be me. Not because I want vengeance, or anything like it, but... I know I could handle him.

[ please no more noncombatants im begging and

help. he - he laughs? just this tiny sort of sputtered noise. ] Vin.

[she shakes her head immediately, focusing on that first point.]

You have shouldered enough this week, I think.

[ what's one more murder this week cmaaahn ]

... if my shoulders can be the one to carry the load to protect others, then for that, I will carry all the weight of the world.

Rondo.

...It isn't like I can control it.

...I know. But - you have to know that other people want to share in whatever burdens you take on.

[ he leans over to bump his shoulder into hers. ]

I know. I could never forget. I am truly Flame blessed to have such wonderful comrades and friends who care for me.

[a little smile, despite the circumstances.]

Is it a blessing if we care about you because of who you are? I'd say it's only fair.

We best surround ourselves with similar people.

[ so he feels the same!!!! and manages a little smile, too. everything sucks forever. don't you dare fucking die. ]

[dies immediately

just kidding but she does kind of fluff his hair. cuteness aggression on alpha week again......]
