un: starburst, toward the end of this arc.

( Emilia di Carlo has seen better days, by the look of her. Her battle leathers are torn, soot and cuts still on her face — but she doesn't give in to the exhaustion just yet, nor the bile in her throat. First, she addresses the people of Alem, dignified and resolute. )

Prince Haiva sacrificed himself and leaves his sister, the young Cle-Florens, spared.

I was witness.

( A pause, then, as she allows that to sink in. )

Hell is sealed.

You fought with valor so others might live. I'm glad to have fought beside you, and will remember your fallen just the same.

If you've yet to evacuate, the time is now. Hassir awaits.

[Thanks a lot for putting him up to this, Jimmy. Grrr.]

I have a question.

I'll answer as I'm best able!

I want to know the names of everybody who was involved in... let's call it "influencing Prince Haiva's decision," you feel me?

I'm not judging, I'm not saying he didn't deserve it and I'm glad the little girl's okay. I just wanna know.

I don't know full listings, but I'll make explicit what Emilia making this claim is, and advise you speak with her. She is not a person to shy away from claiming her actions. This, addressed to Alem, is politics, not preference.

If Emilia was there, so was Wrath. They support each other without hesitation. Anyone else is for you to ask from her. I recognised no one especially in that image sharing.
nachocheese: (klick)

Just Emilia and Wrath? And if I said I was going to tell your husband what really happened, you still wouldn't know anyone else? Right?

[he takes no pleasure in this, but he wants to be 100% sure he's not getting played.

goddamn it, Jimmy.]

You'd earn my disappointment and poor opinion, no invented names.

[Noooooooo not the disappointed dad vibes!!! :( Anything but that!!!

Yeah, he deffo feels like shit now. Once again: goddamn it, Jimmy.]


And you're probably not going to tell me if you know about anybody else someone from our crew has killed. Are you?

Undead lords. First Unhalad, in Sa-Hareth. Next the Beastmaster, in Ke Waihu. More particulars are such that I'm not familiar with, though there was the cursed body that wasn't allowed to die that was dealt final death in Sa-Hareth.

Mark the ones who died when fighting in situations we didn't control, too, but you can't care about those, or you'd have memorial tablets for every body that's hit the stone since we arrived here. Do you?

[Cursed body that's not allowed to die, huh?]

No. I don't.

Like I said, man. I'm not judging anybody. Just asking some questions for a friend. That's it.

( not even the only one around, probably, but the only one anurr was mad about. )

Who? I'd like a name.

And for you to tell them to ask me directly.
nachocheese: (five-o)

[personal profile] nachocheese 2023-03-27 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry. Can't tell you that.

Better if I do the talking. Trust me on that.

This conversation ended when you didn't identify who you speak for.

( and true to his word, he won't say a thing more, because transparency in these things is one of the few things he can ask for from everyone. )

[Fair enough, man. Nacho can't really argue with that. Transparency doesn't come naturally to him -- he's working on it, okay, but it is really not his strong suit -- but he can't fault someone for wanting to know who he's asking for. He'd want to know, too.

Since Wei Wuxian has indicated the conversation is over, Nacho only really has one word to say, and it doesn't require much of a response:]


Fine.

[You owe him big time, Jimmy.]

[Well, okay, maybe two things to say! He's not expecting an answer to this either, but Nacho's conscience gets the better of him and he feels compelled to add:]

Hey, for the record? I won't tell your man anything you don't want him to know.
weifinder: (quiet | this pull is astronomical)

( There is a delayed response to this: Wei Wuxian was good on his word of ignoring this particular contact, but the glimpse he has of this eventually merits a: )

Gratitude.

( if that's his for the statement, or a reminder of what Nacho and his Unstated Other Person should have, isn't meant to be clear. but it's likely both. )

[Nacho decides to take it as the former, or at least to pretend to. So he responds...]

Back at you.

[But hey! Two birds with one stone, right? Anyway, he's trying to say "thank you" without saying it as much outright. That's what it comes down to.]
