the placing of these next to each other is exquisite

[blinks]

Better at what?

[flameguard]

...thinking in general...? You're much smarter than I am...

[ and less impulsive. And a good leader. ]

[allomantic]

Oh, come now. That's not true.

[Calm down. He's just being kind.]

[flameguard]

[ well, listen ]


I mean, last week I almost jumped off of a cliff to find evidence, so....

[allomantic]

[long pause]

We all have moments...

[flameguard]

[ ...I think most of my life is a moment. ]

...thank you, Vin. But - I think... we make a good team. Maybe more than anything. And I like having your input on things, anyway... you always help me consider things in a different light.

[allomantic]

Ah, well... Thank you. I'm here to help, so...

[flameguard]

Instead of "we all depend on you", it's more that... we are all allies and comrades in the same goals - helping each other.

[ he's the one to give a little nudge this time, smile warming up. ]

There is no pressure. Only that we bolster each other's strengths and weaknesses, right? As a team.

[allomantic]

[You said leader, though.]

—Ignore that. I appreciate it, really.

[flameguard]

[ FROWNING!!! ]

Vin...

[allomantic]

I'd prefer not to talk about this further, but - thank you. Truly.

[flameguard]

...If you say so.

[ droopy sad puppy ears... ]

At... at any rate. I'm going to write back to those who wrote to me... I'll try to avoid using names, as well. Should I sign mine as Flameguard, or, will that be too obvious...?

[allomantic]

It might be too obvious. [...] Do you think Maycomb Blume is Aerith?

[flameguard]

[ Flame...guard. Guardian of the Flame...? Maybe 'young master Ravus'.... it's not like I'm attached... no that's too obvious...

anyway: the name!! ]

...Oh! Almost certainly. It sounds just like her, doesn't it?

[allomantic]

Perhaps just an initial.

[but she nods before handing him her letters]

[flameguard]

[ the first note makes him look... a little confused? head tilting. ...Nona...?

the second - of course, gets a smile, and the last... ]

... Arms... Caelus sent me something about body parts, too....

[allomantic]

[there's a little nod at the first thought.]

I think it must be. When I saw her there, I thought she was - some kind of illusion.

[thinking about it, though.]

Why would a body be split into pieces, right...?

[flameguard]

[ he nods... like in hell.....this checks out to him ]

That's even more heartening, then, to hear from her now.

[ but...bodies. hmm... ]

Right. [ thinking... ] To... be eventually reunited? To... keep something powerful from coming together....?

[allomantic]

Are bodies typically reunited once they're cut apart?

[vin]

[flameguard]

[ we're gonna exodia this ]

Well...no... but, kind of like the Rings. They're all separated, but uniting them all together can create an unholy amount of power... So... if there were a bunch of body parts that needed to be united, then maybe that would give us something to fight the cult. If that makes sense?

[allomantic]

...Maybe. I didn't know Caelus that well, is that something he would have said?

[flameguard]

...Not for no reason, I don't think...

[ Probably. ]

But, I'm sure it means something.

[allomantic]

I'm going to ask Famine about some things later... I'll see if they know.

[flameguard]

I can check in with War, too.

[ nod nod... ]

We'll figure it out.
