I think the lesson I have learned from all of this is that it is easier to solve our problems from the place of "alive" as opposed to anything else.
It is like Lanceboard. So many things seem insurmountable when face to face, but ... death is an ending. Alive means there is a space to move to next, even if it feels your opponent has you in their jaws. A pawn can claim Cyric, with the correct choices.
[ the chess analogy with funny names isn't lost on him, and rondo falls quiet, thinking it over. death is an ending. alive means there is a space to move to next. ]
...I get what you mean. [ maybe he is dead. maybe this is something else. but whatever it is, it's a place that rondo exists, a place that he can maybe do something, can maybe help someone, can maybe set things right. it's not home. and whatever happens, or already happened with sazantos, is something that's right now out of his control. what happens here is the present - that's his next move.
he takes a deep breath, and after a moment, he smiles. ]
...thank you, Mr. Gale. I... [ uweh. ] You give really good advice, you know?
