rondo's really good at bouncing back from tragedy. he's used to tragedy, he's used to loss, but there's - there's just nothing that could have prepared him for this. for the first time, he's not running around looking for people after death has struck. today he's just sitting by the blue, blue pyre on the ground, his arms around his knees.
it becomes very, immediately clear that he's crying. silently, but he's crying. ]
[Camille may still smell like smoke, may still be miserable and shaken herself, but once she sees Rondo at the fire she will gently take a seat at his side.
[ he looks up, almost a second too late when camille touches him - when he does, rondo's eyes are wide and wet with tears, streaking down his cheeks, off his chin. he looks like a mess, and he hiccups, and tries to bring his hand up to his eyes. he's only twenty-one. sometimes that's really obvious. sometimes it's not. ]
M-Miss... Miss Camille.
[ also!!! BC SOMEONE JUST DEVASTATED ME WITH THIS IN A PC, sitting next to him by the fire is a "long bladed weapon". you know. probably like. a naginata. someone really ruined my life with this today. ]
[Reaching into her pocket she pulls out an impromptu hankie, made from her cult robes. She passes it to him, narrowly resisting the urge to dab his face herself. Her eyes flick to the weapon. Pause.]
[ he will take it with a wet kind of laugh - because what else can you really do in this situation? and a tiny nod of his head, as he goes to try and wipe his eyes. it's a wordless thank you, because that's about all he has right now.
as for the weapon, rondo nods a little bit more, this time, voice thick when he does speak up. ] Lavi said... it felt wrong just to leave it, so... he brought it so I could take care of it until tomorrow.
[ the mods could really tell me this got snapped in half tomorrow so the State of the Iwa is unknown currently but it is here ]
