video; man's greatest treasure (after the blood rains stop)

[reparo]

[The video isn't accidental this time, and focuses on Hermione - her face rosy-cheeked and smiling, actually smiling.


To the observant eye, one can tell she's in the old, dilapidated house that some people used during the final battle in Hatthevar as a sort of refuge. (It's the Macarena house.)]

Friends - ah, I've been thinking all day what I'd say to us all after a battle as final and difficult and hard as this one. I didn't get to say this to my friends back home, I didn't get the chance to say this to Harry, but...here goes.

Well done. You did your best, and you somehow saved the day. Look at this place. Look at this world! I know the beacons are being repaired, so it's still sometime before we leave but I think we could say we're leaving it better than we found it?

[Like it's hard. She lets out a tiny laugh.]

Also, I think - and I'm not taking any feedback on this - that I've earned myself this.

[The view focuses on the floor, where she is sitting currently, and specifically on a half-empty bottle of wine. Hermione gone wild.]

I believe... my heart would be burdened, if they did not.

[reparo]

I intend to drink the potion. The one that'll make me remember - and if I know myself at all, I know I will not rest until I find the way back in some way.

[downswing]

If anyone may claim such skill and such feat, it is you, Emilia or Wei Ying.

[A little laugh, mostly tired. And they're the three people most likely to be reckless about it, too.

Obsess over it, doggedly stubborn about it, knocking on the gates between realms until they carve open paths to their friends again.]

I would like to give you something.

[downswing]

...cannot accept chickens.

[reparo]

I'm not going to give you chickens! Or cocks. No poultry.

[downswing]

Save them for when you love.

[reparo]

Oh, my god. Let me gift you something!

/smoother than wei wuxian????

[downswing]

The gift of your good regard.

You say I should save them for when I love. I say that I have suffered enough loss to know that I will never miss the opportunity to tell my parents I love them.

2/2, bitch

[reparo]

I love you.

[downswing]

...I know.

[reparo]

You better.

[downswing]

Men ever know.

Girls should, also.

[reparo]

Girls in general? Or daughters?

[downswing]

All girls were daughters.
