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.

The mockery of an image on the bulletin board called him a traitor.

[ so he has to wonder - is that true? was aventurine targeted by random happenstance, a side punishment for their attempt of rebellion? ]

... Even so, I... From what they said before, I... if they were so bothered, we may have been immediately left to sleep forever, not just overnight. The fact that we are alive is... I don't know what it means. I'm not sure what any of this means.

[ aside from the fact that it's a pointless, frustrating, and upsetting loss. still... rondo is the flameguard - he must uphold justice even in moments of great injustice. he glances over at alfyn, and after a moment, lifts his hand to squeeze his shoulder. ]

But we'll find out.

Playin' with their food, maybe? Or somethin' more that even the other three might not know about?

[ it doesn't make a lot of sense, in the long run. they're missing a lot of pieces and he's not exactly thrilled with it. he's never liked death, even if the earth of orsterra in caked in the blood of so many wars. even if he's lost so many people - his father, zeph's parents, his own mother. even if there's been blood on his own hands.

losing more people and disappointing her flicker in ink across his skin, over his heart, but he doesn't notice as he looks back at rondo when he glances his way. ]

... 'cause we're alive, we can find the answers. Knowin' the why will be nice, for sure, but we can't just throw the chance we have away. Not while we have it.

[ even if they've lost two people, and there was nothing alfyn could do for them, that doesn't mean that he's going to fail the remaining 33 that still live. ]
