[DRAGONMAIL: Siegmund Heissenrech]

[redeyedmask]

[ Sent Friday evening, an hour or two before midnight. Jamie's keeping poor time schedules (this may or may not be Harriet's fault) and he just heard the news of what's going down in Bastan.

There's no way Siegmund would be there, but...

He wants to check. ]

Are you okay?

Comments

[bloodonthestones]

[no way, unless he was part of the invasion]

["luckily" he had other orders]

[he gets the letter and stares at it for a second before throwing a guilty look toward the Heavens. it's okay to break Shabbat if Jamie will think he's dead or grievously injured if he doesn't answer, right? sorry, God, he'll keep this quick...]

Fine. I was not in Bastan.

I can't write now, it's Shabbat. Tomorrow night I can explain more.

[redeyedmask]

[ ...what is there to explain? Hm.

also... oops... sorry, sieg, didn't realize it was shabbat...

STILL YOU'RE OKAY SO ]

Okay.

[ He will totally be waiting on your letter tomorrow night, Siegmund. He's... honestly curious. ]

[bloodonthestones]

[Saturday night, after sunset]

How much do you know about what happened?

[redeyedmask]

[ He has sort of obviously been waiting for your reply, because his is near instant. ]

Only that there was an invasion. Why?

[ srsly ]

[bloodonthestones]

King Aerveas's army invaded Bastan during his match with the Ahura. I was here when it happened, in the Undertow. [being a shomer for a girl he killed...]

A few paladins who were at the tournament are getting a group together to take it back. [or that's the impression he's gotten from watching them, at least] The Ahura is helping them.

Probably I will too, but we don't know yet what will happen.

[redeyedmask]

Ah. [ He didn't know about the paladins. Iiiinteresting. ]

Do you need anything, potion-wise? I know you're friends with the Khshathra, but...

[ He worries about you mang :c ]

[bloodonthestones]

Anything you can give, but send it to the Ahura.

[redeyedmask]

Can do.

Stay safe, Deathbringer.

[ hoping that's a comforting nickname because, y'know, INVASION, and then sends ]

[bloodonthestones]

[The name was meant to be sort of over-the-top dark-and-scary, half joking really]

[it's...not a joke anymore]

[he's not sure he's comfortable being called Deathbringer now, even if it was never intended to be taken seriously]

Siegmund, please.

[redeyedmask]

[ ...?

What's so uncomfortable about the name he picked?... ]

Siegmund. Stay safe, okay?

[bloodonthestones]

Thank you, Jamie.

[redeyedmask]

You're welcome.

[ um. He should've stopped mailing, he thinks, but...

Siegmund seems uncomfortable and he just wants to ]

um

If you need someone to talk to, I'm here.

[ Sending before he can rethink this course of action!!! ]

[bloodonthestones]

[he does need someone to talk to about this and the person he usually goes to is...not...the best choice...]

[also terrified to say anything about it to his family, and especially terrified to say anything to his rabbi]

[so probably he will take you up on the offer, Jamie, but not yet]

Later, maybe.

[redeyedmask]

[ wait

that worked? ]

Okay.

[ he was right yes good

...although, now he's just gonna worry what exactly was he right about... ]
