SCAWWY 😱 asa

[concoctive]

In heraldry, the cinquefoil emblem or potentilla signified strength, power, honor, and loyalty. Potentilla is a silent, beautiful reminder of the human capacity to endure and overcome life's struggles, making it a profound symbol of strength and celebration. It has traditionally been used to treat inflammatory disorders of the skin and mucous membranes as well as chronic diarrhea.

[ considering he helped vin and ashlyn get asa to the swamp, alfyn is also just. at the swamp. he's got a stack of blankets and is waiting diligently for asa to be freed from its clutches, and will be more than happy to help pull her out once it releases her from the terrible drowning experience.

and he'll also swaddle her in a blanket immediately after. ]

Easy, does it...

[she crawls out of the swamp, hacking up a lung as one does. and while it's a incredibly nice gesture to help pull her out, asa completely freezes up the moment alfyn touches her, her gaze going distant for a moment — before she seems to violently snap out of it. she shoves him away with her only hand, jerking back.]

—No!

[ gah - at least he doesn't topple ass over end into the swamp, himself, and instead just falls back onto his elbows as he blinks rapidly. but he doesn't take it personally, considering trauma responses. he'll stay right there and hold up his hands a little, voice lowering like he's talking to a spooked horse. ]

Asa, hey hey hey - it's okay, I won't touch you again, easy, easy -

[sometimes, cyoa effects and swamp effects come together to make a very unfortunate combination. she gasps for breath, gagging a little and pressing her hand to her mouth, before she calms down enough to look at him again.]

F-Fire— I thought— I just saw you burning alive, but you're not...?
