...he listens to shale's answer, and then there's a beat. ] ...So do we, though.
[ have something in common. maybe even more? he wants to know - wants to dive into that story, into shale's life just a little, the curiosity tugging at the edges of his consciousness. still, what they don't remember means those questions have to remain unsolved, but it is...
...it's just really comforting, to hear someone talk about the raven queen like that, to know that shale really did understand in ways that no one else could have. so, they're right. ]
Glad to offer it, when I can, then. If you - whenever you remember things, Shale. If you want to talk about it, I'd really like that. Yeah? Maybe I can help.
[they nod at the having something in common. it maybe wasn't evident exactly what that was, but they've felt drawn to it this whole time. the notion of trying to serve a god well even when that god can be somewhat inscrutable and is the type of god that doesn't necessarily play favorites with their followers or intervene in their fates, either.
