[ oh, dear. he does actually flush when the extremely chivalrous display unfolds here, waving his hands at him a little. ]

Oh, that should really be my position here-- [ shaking his head. ] Nothing that is in need of any assistance. I ... have a condition. In my body, there is a arcane anomaly that consumes magic. Currently, it is suppressed through a blessing by my goddess, but only temporarily. If I die, or otherwise trigger it, it will become destabilized.

That would be bad.

[ absently, he reaches up as he is talking, and touches his own heart. there's a lot he wants to ask about - his brows knit together briefly, concern and then surprise. that gale is an amazing scholar with that condition is amazing. but also... ]

...That... sounds like it would be really bad. [ yikes ] Well - even without that, I'd really like it if you wouldn't die, but... [ but also he's not an idiot and the dangers are Ever Present tm ] I can't imagine not being able to make contact with your goddess helps, either...

[ which. haha. man. there's a little of the last dregs of the ink this week - the phrase already failing the flamebringer curls briefly across rondo's cloak, but he ignores it. ]

How else could it be triggered? Is there anything that we need to look out for? [ a beat. ] Besides... you know. [ you dying ]

Driving a blade directly into it wouldn't be the best idea.

[ the ink on gale is across his neck, where the mark reaches. `rot and ruin.` ]

If I die it would take my body a few days to reach that point. Like I said, I told the Overseers. With any luck, they'd be able to remove it to a safe distance very, very, very, very far away.

[ he's already frowning because he hates this - yes, it's their new reality, that death is only a breath away, even more so than normal, but... gale can probably see it in his face, how troubled he looks. an inhale, an exhale. his gaze flick to the words, and he swallows. ]

Mr. Gale, I... I really hate this. [ really! a lot! it's bad! he hates the idea of him getting murdered and then thrown off into some dark pit somewhere like a bomb, not like an actual, real human being. but, he swallows, and nods, after. ] It feels so futile to say that I hope it won't - I wish there was more I could do, to...

[ stop it? protect him? mmf. ]

Please do stand, I feel a bit terrible making you take a knee and such.

[ well, it's either the pit or resurrection, and they took his scroll on arrival!! so, that's no longer an option. ]

You're quite kind to say so, but do understand, I didn't-- Nothing about the situation is anyone's fault but my own. And therefore I wouldn't want it to cause harm to anyone besides myself.
