[ it's bad. well, actually, it's not That Bad. rondo in general has the aura of someone who has been through it, but.... he's at least pretty resilient, so. despite the horrors, we are still persisting. still, there's a sort of uneasiness, something soft and sad, too.

[ and daan was working so hard to keep her calm, and it was almost working, and rondo "rushes in" ravus ruined it. ]
[ he says, soft, but he'll let it go after that. moments like that always stick in the back of his head. you rush in too quickly. you could've put someone in danger. that, and the look on dan's face stuck with him, afterwards, gnawing like a stone in his gut.
he doesn't let himself get distracted too hard by those thoughts, though - at the question, he makes a little noise, thinking about it. ]
...A few scratches... and maybe some bruises. I didn't really look, when I got dressed this morning... I'm okay, though.
[ he immediately waves his hands, distressed... !!! rondo is not a good liar. ]
I'm used to fighting, um, people who turn into monsters and things like that, so... plus, I don't think we were fighting for very long. But if you wanted to look me over, I wouldn't put up a fuss, I promise.

It doesn't matter. In the end, her name would've gone into the pyre and someone would've had to kill her anyway.
[ And that's exactly what happened. He tilts his head slightly. ]
Do you have injuries from that?

[ Murmured, probably more to himself than anything. But he shakes his head when Rondo insists he's fine. ]
I'm not going to press that hard. If you say you mean it then I'll believe you.

Well, any amount is technically bad, really...

Do you think it'll keep getting worse? There's got to be some kind of ceiling -- besides all of us dead, anyway.
