you know... he hadn't really thought of it like that? rondo smiles a little, ducking his head - his hand falls gently on the flat blue part of the blade, pressing to it like he could feel its warmth if he tried. ]
...yes, that's... it does. [ his flame is right here, even if it's out of reach - even if his chest feels cold without the warmth he'd only just started to cradle. ] And... it's better that I have it, because now that I do, the person who had it before does not, which means... hopefully, the other Guardians will be able to subdue him and stop the madness at home.
...But... even without the Flame, there's still the armies of Hell to contend with. There are quite a lot of them... even if he's lost his abilities, they would still be a lot to contend with.
Yes, exactly! I was quite literally in hell mere moments before I woke up here. And...it doesn't actually look that much different from this village...? Though, once the sun came up, it was a little better. Foggy or not, there's no daylight down there.
[ it'll be fine - rondo, probably, who has never thought through a thing in his entire life ]
Heh, yes! I'm not dead! And... well, I like to think I wouldn't be sent to hell if I did die, even if that's a bit presumptuous. [ it is not presumptuous for rondo, who is aelfric's babygirl, but that is besides the point ]
... thank you, Cloud, for listening. I know it's a lot...
... Hell's a lot more of an abstract concept back home.
[ everyone who dies goes to the lifestream! why do they have a concept of hell? fuck you, i'm not questioning it, they say hell and i will simply accept this. but at the thanks he simply shrugs ]
Sounded like you needed to say it. [ he is a lot better at listening than he is at having to like. talk back. so this isn't a huge deal to him. ]
