[ Those are not good vibes, Shale. The anxiety is leveled worry now, a reasonable amount and nothing overwhelming. It softens to the aroma of tea. ]
It said he would be safe from harm, but I worry—if refraction is not quite harm to one's person, then may it continue to fester at a faster rate? Since he had already lost himself once. Is that something we can know?
[ Sometimes you are lost in your thoughts, but he steps out of it... There's a flicker of resolve, though. ]
Thank you... If Ser Percival wasn't saved, it would have been two deaths that day. I hold no regrets, even if Steel would call the executions a mercy.
[they're still there, in the background. shale is fairly calm, otherwise.]
It might be nice. You can keep what you did to yourself, if that suits you better. And I'll tell you think I trust that what you did won't have been in vain, because you're part of this now and you deserve to know.
...Grievances is a word. [...] Sad is... a normal reaction to someone you liked being murdered, or somebody else you liked turning into a goat abomination. I try not to dwell on things that can't be changed, but trying not to be sad about it is exactly how you make it worse.
Should be obvious to many, but it is not, so I find it sage… A number of us could allow ourselves to feel. Were you close to either Malik or Chinatsu-chan?
[they don't seem too bothered by it; sadness is just a natural part of coping with death.]
Close is hard to measure. But just before, Chinatsu and I had a pretty nice conversation about our families; her brothers and sister. That sort of tugs at my heartstrings. [...] Malik came to see me quite a bit. He had a lot of struggles. I think he mostly needed someone to talk to.
More than anything, it's harder when the life cut short belonged to a child.
Aye, it is. I've seen many children raised and fight in war, but it does not become easier. [ ... ] Chinatsu-chan did her best to be strong and she was resourceful. It saddens me to see her gone, Malik as well though I knew not much of him. What I do know is that they are missed.
[ He feels with Shale he can be more forward, so. ]
I had asked because there is a pinch of loneliness in this space we share.
Sometimes, loneliness cannot be remedied by company, but I hope it assuages some. [ :thonk: ] The Prism has been accommodating. Never have I seen a wall of dairy or so much... Bread.
[ He tries to lighten this up, but like. Legitimately... He is in awe by the bread. ]
... Crow and I had talked of vendors for food one Sunday, where he shared with me the concept of "grocery stores." Then the following sunrise we received it. I'm sure it must have been on the mind of many others, but still. 'Twas a surprise.
'Tis creative and endearing, in my honest opinion. [ ... ] Speaking of which, there was a loaf I saw in the grocery store... Inside was the visage of a blue monster alike to the one from my star, a blue monster who steals cookies and strikes fear in all children across the realm.
That sounds dangerous. If there's bread that might be dangerous to children, that's good to know. We can keep an eye out, especially if there are any cookies around.

[listen who says those vibes were caused by this situation.]
...I think you and I agree. An execution can be a form of mercy, but it's hard to beat life.
no subject
... You're right. I should check on him and see for myself.
[ The worry deflates because Aymeric knows how to shelf an issue for later, then shift gears to something else. But. Now.
Are those sad emotions still there? Are they still feeling loneliness, too? ]

... Lord Shale, pardon me for this question, but... 'Twould seem your spirits are a little low.
no subject
I wouldn't say low. I think all of us have things we regret or feel sorry about from these past few days.

... Would you like to vent your grievances? I'll bend an ear.

I've never seen a wall of bread before, either. Where'd it even come from?

There exists bread I could have never imagined.
