I just ask you to think what it means, to come into someone else's home, to tell them that you think you know a better way to treat that home than they do, and to suggest that if they don't change their mind to match yours, they lack trust in you.

[not harshly, but sternly.]

If you're going to ask me to change my mind about my home, I'm going to need something else from you, not that. I am not refusing to hear you, but I'm not being convinced, either.

[ scolded, a little. he's got a point, and vaxildan holds still, fingers curling in the edge of his cloak.

What about it?

[he seems a little caught off guard by the question.]

Is that not home to you?
graverot: (cayenne)

[personal profile] graverot 2022-03-29 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know anything about Exandria. I don't know what it is. I know you've showed me some of it, but the word means nothing to me, it doesn't stir up any feelings, like...

[hmmm.]

I've never thought about "home" as something that can be summed up in terms of continents or maps.

[ that does make sense, but. ]

More like people?
graverot: (spearmint)

[personal profile] graverot 2022-03-29 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Home to me has always been the people I care about, the place I'm needed. That's here.

...And if we all leave?
graverot: (cerasse)

[that definitely sends some stone rippling up his skin. but he sits there calmly all the same.]

...As far as I see it, that's not likely to happen.

It was weird that we even showed up here, right? 's it so weird that people could just go?
graverot: (cayenne)

[personal profile] graverot 2022-03-30 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it's so weird.
