[ she stiffens, but in the animal way people do when they aren't touched very often. still, she leans a little into it, offers a gentle hand on his arm if he lets her. she reads those words over and over again and just squeezes a little bit. ]
I think so - refectory to the theatre... where they found Aventurine's body, apparently.
[ her voice goes soft: ]
And... I don't know. I felt like Death has been very helpful to us - they... he... helped Daan procure some medical supplies, and even took a bit of interest in some issues back home...
[ he absolutely will let her! rondo is a very touchy guy so she can rest her hand on his arm. he's very warm.
... ]
Maybe. [ ugh. ] ... I liked Death a lot. They were - they had so many helpful things to say, even if they were a little prickly about it. I... I just wish there was something we could do.

He took an interest in a few things from where Daan and I are from. And he was pretty helpful when it came to asking him about this creature that the ritual put inside us. He told me quite a lot about mine and I... well.
It was helpful in any case.
... maybe they were considered "too helpful."
[ like this was a punishment. cutting off a finger. a hand. a warning. ]
that - that's such an awful thing to think about, that maybe it was that he was too helpful. rondo thinks about the newly revealed profile, the line about a younger sister he barely remembered, and his heart aches.

.... We have to find a way out of this. We cannot let his death be in vain.
No. I think we need to do everything in our power to try and right whatever the hell this is. He tried to help us - they all did in their own weirdo ways.
[ some more stand-offish than others, but. still. ]
Just that the only powers we have are our very will, and these... monsters. For better and for worse. And each other, if we can manage to shove our heads together. We have to be able to do something with that...
