[E-mail: Victor]

Did you already take off? I beat it back to Omghan a few hours ago.

It's too fuckin' quiet over here, though.

[E-mail: Valentine]

You aren't dead, are you, Val?

[Oh, Glasses... hm. She actually kinda misses him. Hope he didn't die!]

[E-mail: Siegmund]

You still alive out there, Glasses? I didn't get a chance to find you in the camp. I'll be real fucking cross with you if you're dead.

I know, right?

How've you been? I was gonna try to find you in the camp, but things were pretty crazy. I spent most of my time working with a paladin named Bristol.

I have been in a war. [ie, how do you think?]

Victor Bristol? A small world.

Funny thing, me too.

Huh. You know him? Had no idea. How'd you meet?

I played a cleric. Victor came to him for healing and advice and more healing if he didn't listen to the advice.

Also I led him out of the Undertow to Giza after the Armaiti came to us. [that's safe to talk about now, right? and chisaki's a hunter so she should know anyway? but he never saw her at the ziggurat, er...]

That'd do it. Guess it makes sense he'd want to avoid the Armaiti...

Sorry I never took you up on that offer. I got... sidelined by a lot of personal bullshit before I could join back up.

Paladins and assassins don't like each other much. [un der state ment] Surrounded by assassins, someone would kill him.

[ugh. just saying that makes him feel awful, too. he picked this guild WHY, again?]

It's fine. It doesn't matter now.

Yeah...

What are you gonna do, now that the war's over?

I don't know.

What the Ahura wants, I guess.

You're staying in his service, even though the war's done?

It isn't because of the war.

Oh. Like... 'cause you're friends, I guess?

[Ability to know when she should stop asking questions: zero.]

We were.

I took his sister's life. I gave him mine.

[...oh. That's actually super depressing and awkward.]

Ah... shit. I'm sorry for bringing that up. I don't think I'd be able to do that if I was in your shoes.

[it's cool Chisaki, he has to come to terms with this shit somehow]

It's fine. I shouldn't avoid it, I think.

What would you do?

Probably hide. I don't know. It's not exactly a good way out but I don't think I could just turn my life over to someone else.

I didn't get along with the Mano so well, but it wasn't that personal. If she lived, I planned to switch guilds and just try to avoid her for the rest of my life. Except... she didn't. I'll still probably switch guilds, though.

I wanted never to tell him and let him think it was Aerveas forever. But I don't think I chose wrong.

You can, at least. What guild?

It seems like it'd come out, sooner or later. That sorta thing always does, right?

Probably rogue.

Right. It is better if I tell him than if he finds out a different way.

To keep the gear?

Yeah.

And to lie better. There's things I can't tell people and I'm... you know. I'm bad at hiding shit.

What things?

[yes he did that on purpose, sorry Chisaki.]

[She left herself open for that one. Sigh.]

Will you promise to not tell? It could get me killed.

I have enough death on my hands.

I won't tell.

I... kinda became a molavvas. It was an accident, of the I was dying and the heart was right fuckin' there variety.

It'd be better to make sure my lies are believed.

What is a molavvas?

[guess who wasn't involved in any of that shit and also was already in Zen by the time the relevant tie-in came out? THIS GUY.]

Do you know what a vrylak is?
