rondo sucks in a breath. just one, sharp, and he holds it. he didn't want to die. his sir sazantos, full of so many regrets, so far gone from the flame that rondo once knew him as. he tosses and turns over his regrets for his former mentor so often - how could he not have noticed? could things have been different, if rondo had realized how badly he was hurting? if sazantos had asked for help, could he have changed it?
a wish could have saved him, but he couldn't be selfish enough to partner for someone for it. sticking to his convictions to the end, no matter what - even though the price was high. rondo didn't want him to die, either, but he has to reconcile with the fact that the person he loved died a long, long time ago.
still, there's something... it helps, to hear it. it helps to hear the full story. that he didn't suffer. that he ultimately fell to a warrior, that... maybe now, he'd be able to rest in peace. even if it wasn't real, it feels like it was, and as he exhales the slow breath out, he curls inward on himself to keep his expression mostly hidden. ]
... thank you. [ rondo says softly, just barely loud enough to be heard. ] Thank you, for telling me.
[ it does feel better, to know. he doesn't have to wonder. ]
I'm... I'm sorry, that you had to go through all of that, sir.

None of what happened was your fault, Rondo. Camewille-dono wanted to me to tell you that there is nothing to forgive, and I agree. You never willingly would have allowed it.

he nods to that, though. ] No - no, of course not.
[ so many things are out of their control here, after all. ]
I guess I just... hoped this wouldn't be the case, but - what matters is that you made it back. All of you did, even if it was difficult. You're all - if not okay, then... you're going to be.

[ he looks like he kind of wishes he could draw rondo into a hug, but he wouldn't be able to feel it, and iwa doesn't want to hurt him by squeezing too hard or something. ]
...I'm sorry for worrying you.

weh. he smiles - it's a little wet, but it's very genuine, and he shakes his head. ]
It's okay. [ ... ] How are you feeling, anyway...? Besides... you know. [ the cat puns... and the memloss.... ]
no subject
[ lmao. at least he can see the bright side in this? ]
I feel fine. Just... a little bad for forgetting something. Caelus-dono looked upset by it.
