SCAWWY 😱 rondo

[concoctive]

In the tapestry of floriography, the borage flower stands out as a symbol of emotional fortitude and joy. Its star-shaped blue blossoms have carried the weight of courage since Roman times, believed to embolden warriors on the battlefield. Borage flower and leaves are used for fever, cough, and depression.

[ holds his little thief in his hands and squeezes him when he's dumb...

a small laugh escapes him, about not knowing that miguel would betray him - because it's not completely true, in some ways. at least, that's what people would say. have said. ]

He'd be mad if I pointed it out, I think. [ in regards to matching therion. but he shakes his head a little, rueful, smiling despite the pain of it. ] In other ways, I figure I had plenty of warnin' from folks, y'know? Therion was on edge, everythin' Ogen said, even what I heard about Miguel.

But I asked myself for a while if I did the right thing. Or if I'd do things differently, if I got the chance to. And... I don't think I would have. I think I'd still have helped him, even if I knew he'd turn on me. Maybe I'd have gone to the Knights once he was on the mend, but he still deserved the chance to live and make amends.

[ that just kind of reinforces it, honestly - rondo smiles a little further. ]

I think that's something I like about you, Alfyn. Your heart's very true.

[ because yeah. yeah, he does. he deserves the chance to be punished by the law, not... not like that. he's chewing it over, about what it means to be good - about taking the right path, and doing the right thing, about people who are not just good or evil. and... as he's doing so

memory time! ]

[ oh.

of course, another memory of betrayal. but this one slams into him and really is so much worse, after having such an uplifting, hopeful start to it with a savior to come in when he and cordelia needed it most. feeling the love, admiration, adoration, respect - and then the heart-wrenching sensation of standing on opposing sides. he can feel the way his own throat closes, the chill as the fire leaves.

as it fades, he just

reaches out to grasp rondo with this sudden understanding. ]

... oh, Rondo.
