Would you? ... If our positions were reversed?

[trashprince]

No--I'd... want to see you.

[ that wasn't hard to say. okay, yes. he's here.

again, right now. ]

Even if I couldn't again after.

[sootprints]

I know you would. You're a kind person. That's why I want to be here with you.

[trashprince]

There's a part of me that isn't kind anymore. It's tethered to Destruction.

[ the capital D is palpable ]

I don't want that part to take over when you're here with me. That's why... I think you could go, if you wanted.

[sootprints]

That part of you can't hurt me, and it won't scare me, either.

You don't have to face this alone.

[trashprince]

That's just too cool.

[ she truly is a noble young lady. he will never forget that. impressed by her from the second they met ]

I can't say no.

[ he leans back on a hand ]

I'm a little scared.

[sootprints]

Please, be serious.

[ a little huff. ]

... I wonder, have you seen the secret texts that some of us have been passing around?

[trashprince]

Yeah. If it's the one that suggests there's another place the cult can't find--that was me. I got the journal page first.

[ he worked hard for that lore and harder still to make sure it was being spread out amongst the group ]

[sootprints]

You did...? Good. It was valuable information, even if we can only speculate as to what that place is.
