[virid accepted it pretty well though]

...mhm. There's that, too.

I guess it's just... Fighting for your life is one thing. But trying to survive by stabbing someone in the back... I think I would have fought if it was me, too, but...

[she sighs.]

...I don't know. Part of me feels like I should be angry because of how he did it, but I can't really be angry that he did it. It's normal to want to live.

[retellers]

Fighting with honor isn't always an option. Sometimes you take the opportunities you get.

[ they look towards the inn for a second ]

Do you want to be angry, or is it just that you feel you should be?

[dawnblushed]

...it's that I am angry, but I don't feel like I'm angry at the right person, I guess.

[she sighs again.]

Sorry. I know this isn't making a lot of sense.

[retellers]

This whole place doesn't make sense. [ it's blunt ] So who do you want to be mad at? The actual killers? Or what's causing all of this?

[dawnblushed]

Whatever it is that disturbed the nova in the first place. ...not since we arrived here, but - whatever caused the problem that made the Realm decide to bring us here.

[retellers]

[ oh ]

Seems like it's some kind of being that devours memories.

[dawnblushed]

I want to punch it in the stomach and make it spit them back up.

[retellers]

[ that nets her a little quirk of their lips ]

When we manage to locate it, you'll be the first invited.

[dawnblushed]

Good! I'll be counting on that.

[retellers]

But I've got first dibs before that.

[dawnblushed]

Fine, but I'll be right behind you!

[retellers]

I don't doubt that. [ there's a pause ] I'll be in town again starting tomorrow, so any further work on locating it falls on these three.

[dawnblushed]

[


hm.]

Are they going to be okay?

[retellers]

[ ....... ]

Well, it's not physical location, they'll still be in the castle. So they'll be fine.

[dawnblushed]

...that's good, but that's also not exactly what I meant.

[retellers]

They know how to do their job. Theoretically.

[ wolf don't talk shit ]

[dawnblushed]

You don't sound very sure about that.

[retellers]

They let the kid go out with scalpels.

[ they're so tired, yona. ]

[dawnblushed]

...yeah, that was pretty stupid.

[retellers]

[ sighs ]

... But they should be fine. And if they're not, we'll pick up the slack next week.

[dawnblushed]

Is it always going to be you three switching out like this?

[retellers]

Yeah. Someone would have to pull double duty if we tried to mix it up.

[dawnblushed]

So it's going to be a mess every other week, huh.

[retellers]

[ that shouldn't cause them to huff in amusement a bit, and yet ]

You think they're that bad?

[dawnblushed]

[in exactly the same tone wolf used:]

They let the kid go out with scalpels.
