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.

Dunno. Ingredients, maybe? Pesti said they've got magic in 'em, which I can definitely feel with that wing after spendin' so much time around Phili. And to be careful. I should ask Lavi about his box... [ he taps on the lip of the box so that the thing flaps. ] Pesti's gonna look into it, but I figure...

If somethin' happens to me, I'm gonna leave 'em to you, so that they stay in trusted hands.

[flameguard]

[ oh... ]

Yes, the wing feels... it's a bit like the Flame. [ even just resting his hand on the box, he can feel that, too - carefully, he passes the holy one back, then examines the bottle. hmm... ]

...You should ask Miss Ashlyn, as well. Is it only you that has these? [ ... ] And... you didn't have to make a deal for them or anything, did you?

[concoctive]

A little, yeah. [ he'll carefully shut the box again, smoothing his fingers across the surface as he thinks of ophilia. of the feeling of the sacred flame in his hands, small as it was in comparison to her holy light. ]

No, we didn't have to make a deal for any of it. Just defeated Delilah, and then... [ gestures at the creepy millipede. ] I'm the one that's got the stuff 'cause I was able to carry it all in my satchel, and it's just stayed that way - we've all seen 'em, though, and Tot and Geto have grabbed 'em before.

[flameguard]

[ hmm... ]

...In ours, we were told that... we could make a deal with Raphael. He referenced the village and our situation, and said he could give us items to help - but only if we agreed to give up Hope. I refused - I wouldn't have accepted it no matter what. But...

[ ... ]

If you were able to get them, and we were as well, I think... That may have been true, that they are helpful. If that's the case, then that's four of these objects we as a whole have our hands on.

[concoctive]

... think, if that was the case for ours, that I wouldn't be the one that got to have the items.

[ he puts the box in his satchel again, leaving it at that. he would have chosen hope, too, clearly. ]

We're gonna have to be prepared, this week, for another group. Pesti told me it was just another side effect of Scawwy - like how a new place pops up every week, just that these ones are dangerous. And... maybe based on memories, in some way. [ grim, there, but moving on. ] We need to take care of the people that return, and make sure that what they have stays safe with them, if they bring somethin' like these things back.

[ that there were only two... that's especially good to hear. maybe that means that rondo and mathis' choice wouldn't have devastating consequences on scawwy, though... he's not entirely sure that lavi and ashlyn's won't, either. it's hard to say.

he matches grim for grim, though, and nods. ]

...And if that's the case, then, we're very lucky to have you, Alfyn. [ our apothecary!!! ] I think you're probably right.

...I pray that my memories are not taken for such a thing. I would not want anyone to visit the Gate of Finis, if I could help it.
