( 'lo, from the depths of the Mouse House, post-Unwinding: )

If... this were no dream. The child of the rains, bearing a vulpine mask. 'Hyang-Won' and his pale protector.

He is remembered? He did not appear as the other manifestations.

Though we have retrieves ourselves, we cannot abandon a child to nightmares.


( Guilt is strong among exorcists. )

i've been waiting to sink this knife into your back

[reparo]

And you think he will be content with your plan to return into the Unwinding for this child at your peril?

:' )

[downswing]

My son knows my heart.

1/2

[reparo]

And he would follow you down to keep you safe, if he thought he could.

[reparo]

Be reckless, if that's what you are like, but know that if you hurt Sizhui, I won't forgive you.

[downswing]

At ease. If I perish, the dead require no forgiveness.

[reparo]

If you perish, I'll find a way for you to feel my disapproval. So there.

[downswing]

Thank you.

[reparo]

I'm going to ask Karsa.

[downswing]

To what end?

[reparo]

She helped us get out. At least she will know more than to fumble in the dark.

[downswing]

She will oppose. She ever opposes.

[reparo]

Yes - and likely will call me stupid or a goat, but she at least doesn't fumble in the dark.

[downswing]

You are no goat.

[reparo]

I appreciate you noticing.

[downswing]

For the time.
