backdated: wedding day iii

[downswing]

Before her second disappearance, Prassenze ravaged her compartment for a hidden box.

( 'How do you know this, Wangji?' 'Any details?' No. )

Separately, forge or jewellery master begged sought. A trinket for powders.

New arrivals, be welcome.

The creature is a familiar. Accept it.

[rehandle]

I'm not that kind of sorcerer.

[downswing]

A companion, loyalty-bound.

[rehandle]

If I hadn't accepted that much, I'd have left it in the desert.

[downswing]

Honour it with a name.

[rehandle]

[ Is he being reprimanded. ]

Soon. I'm going to give the honors to somebody else.

[downswing]

The name of your son?

[rehandle]

Not everybody's naming traditions are your naming traditions. And it absolutely is not my son.

[downswing]

Euphemism.

[rehandle]

Unwelcome euphemism. [ Has he not done enough acknowledging kinship for one day, goodness. ] I have a friend here who I think will do a better job than I will with the naming. Ok, oh defender of the nameless and their future names?

[downswing]

On its behalf, your kindness thanked.

[rehandle]

Glad to have your seal of approval.

[downswing]

We are allies. I seek no enmity.

[rehandle]

Could've fooled me.

[ But it's well-meaning, and text doesn't always translate that well, so: ]

Likewise.
I'll be in touch when I have your trinket ready.

[downswing]

Gratitude.

I may cleanse you after.

[rehandle]

[ Huh. ]

Of?

[downswing]

The taint of deadened things.

[rehandle]

You can try.

[downswing]

A short melody. Soothing.

[rehandle]

You might need to loop the refrain a few times.

[downswing]

...how deep the stain of your murders?

[rehandle]

[ Avoiding that one in favour of - ]

You said deadened things, you didn't specify who had to have done the dying.

[downswing]

You have... deceased?

[rehandle]

Once or twice.

[ Ten, a hundred... fourteen million times. Tomayto, tomahto. ]

[downswing]

...on that foundation, in Alem. Not your sorcery.
