[ on this fine (?) culty monday, camille can find rondo outside of the cabin area! he's sitting plopped on the ground with a big old sword in his lap, and he's cutting up - what looks like the remains of one of those white robes, into strips.
he looks up! and when he sees camille, rondo immediately smiles and waves. ]
Oh, good morning, miss! I don't think we've been introduced beyond the portraits yet, right?
[ there's a little ink patch on the front patch of his cloak, that casually spells out the words - Not being able to stop him. ]

That we haven't. Rondo, right?
[She's getting them memorized.
For her own part she hasn't got much revealed. Her sweater hits the middle of her palms and her jeans and ankle boots conspire to obscure her legs in totality. He's not getting off so easy. Stop who?]
Are you making bandages too? Or something else?

[ camille you fool IT GOES OVER THE CLOTHING !!! YOU FOOL!!!! for rondo, it's the same - he is covered tip to toe, even wearing a pair of gloves.
he nods when she says his name, though, straightening up from where he's sitting and then giving a gallant bow, even seated. ]
That's correct! My name is Rondo, of the Knights Ardante - if there's anything that you need assistance with that I can help with, I'd be happy to do so.
[ mr. knight in shining armor.
there's another nod at the bandages comment. ] Mmm! Alfyn asked, so I thought the least I could do is cut them... Apothecaries should always be in stock - you never know, right?

[IT SHINES THROUGH INTERMITTENTLY i am having her be in a short reprieve....it will betray her later
Also wow. Her head bobs back some, bowled over by the bold declaration.]
Glad to see chivalry isn't dead. [She frowns though.] That's sweet of you to help him out. You two buddies?

[ that's a funny story, actually - rondo laughs, resuming his work cutting out another strip of bandages. ]
Well - no, we have only just met, but... apparently, he is from Riven, which is hardly that far from where I was born! And, we even know some of the same people. For ending up in a place full of people from many worlds, it's very interesting that the world can still end up being awfully small.
[ my castmate in law 🥺 ]

[ my castmate in law 🥺 ]
No kidding?
[That is odd. The only other pair she knows of were familiar. Was this intentional, or a dark joke played on them by their benefactors?]
You never heard of him before either? Not even from your mutual friends?

[ rondo shakes his head. ]
No, that's the other odd thing... the world as he knows it is different than I do - it's... [ he lowers a voice a little like it is A Secret ] - he told me about the future?
[ sometimes
you are from the prequel. ] I almost wouldn't have believed it, were it not for what I was told and how it lines up with the world as I know it...! Plus, Alfyn doesn't really seem much like the type to lie.
[ have you seen him. the man says shucks unironically. ]

Oh. [She gapes a little.] That's odd. The other pair I know of didn't mention any discrepancies?
[Yet it's not outside the realm of possibility. She hates to admit it, hates to be considering shit that belongs to wack-job quantum eggheads and sci-fi aficionados, but she must.]
No, no. He keeps it straight-edge far as I can tell. We're rooming together actually.

Yeah... and Mr. Gale and Mr. Astarion and Karlach were all traveling together... so it's definitely strange. But - I guess it's kind of nice, too...? He was able to tell me some things I was happy to learn.
[ the future is a lot brighter than it looks it rondo's timeline so that's nice. ]
And, I can't complain for the familiarity. [ my brother in ye olde christ. ] Miss Camille, what's your world like? Is yours more like Miss Ashlyn's, with the 'public school' and 'video games'?

[They're at the clothing store!! Camille picks through the costumes, bemused.]
They really love Halloween around here.
[She pulls out the inflatable T-Rex suit, bewildered.]

[ help me ]
...What...is that? Is that some sort of lizard...? That's a costume...?
...What...is that? Is that some sort of lizard...? That's a costume...?
Dinosaur. Looks like it's just your size too.
[She holds it up to him, appraising.]
[She holds it up to him, appraising.]
[ holding out his arms in a t-pose!! he would in fact make a very tall t-rex. acceptable. ]
It looks a little bit like a lizardman... People really get into costumes, huh, Miss Camille?

They do. [She begins to unzip it. Be her little Rexy-poo, Rondo.] There's a special day every year where all the kids crawl into costumes and knock on the neighborhood doors. If the neighbors don't reward them with candy, they get a prank pulled on them.
"Trick or Treat."
"Trick or Treat."
[ he will do this with zero hesitation ]
...Oh! Like last week! Were all those decorations and everything normal for that, too? It sounds like a pretty fun festival.

Yeah, like last week. [She helps him into it dutifully, privately delighted he's going for it. It's nice. She's never been too frivolous but she'll dabble.] It was very much on theme, yes. It's a celebration of spooky things. Ghouls and goblins, spiders, bats. What have you.
It was based on a Pagan holiday I think, about the dead returning to life for a day. You had to wear masks to ward them off or something.

[Camille doesn't have much right to be out here moping, and yet here she is. Head thunked against the back wall of the refectory at oh-dark-thirty, pretending she doesn't know where the wine is kept.
The door swings open and she squints into the anemic light.]
That you, Rondo?

[ this is such a mood. im in tears. rondo is out just...restless, after all of that, jittery - when camille calls out to him, he startles, and then he puts his hand to his heart and bows briefly in greeting. ]
...Miss Camille, it is... [ his voice is soft, a little worried. ] ...Are you alright?
...Miss Camille, it is... [ his voice is soft, a little worried. ] ...Are you alright?
[It's very sweet. And heartbreaking. She cracks into a smile, covering her eyes with one hand.]
Kid, no one's all right. It's fine.
Kid, no one's all right. It's fine.
...no, not at all.
[ yeah everything. everything is bad forever. there's a beat, and he nudges the door shut with his foot, and then pads over, keeping his voice soft and gentle, the worry effusing through every syllable. ]
May I join you?

'Course. Misery loves company.
[She pats the floorboards next to her.]
You had rough one today. I'm glad you didn't have to whip out that sword after all.

[Coming to wherever the healed Rondo may be]
Jesus, you gave us a scare.
Jesus, you gave us a scare.
[ i have no idea where he is PROBABLY THE CABIN but he is resting ilke a good boy!! in (waves hand in heals) some state. he does manage a little smile when camille comes in, and then dips his head. ]
My apologies...
My apologies...
[She smiles, half-grimace.]
You're not the one who owes us any.
[She takes a seat at his side, hands on her knees. Looking him over.]
Little more lucid now, huh?

No, I suppose that's the cult as a whole, right...?
[ haha. i have heal details now for you! rondo is back in his knight clothes, so it's hard to tell the state of any of his injuries except one - where his collar is open, she can see that the skin of his throat is deeply blackened and cracked in places. occasionally, a bluish glow peeks through them, like the embers of a dying blue fire. ]
Mm. [ with a little smile. ] I wouldn't call the swamp a pleasant experience by any means, but... it does work a certain sort of healing magic. I'm not bleeding anymore, at the very least.
Have you checked on the others? Are they alright...?
