retellers | AUDIENCE: SOO-WON

I do spend a bit of time in the forest so I'll see what I can find.

[zia what can he find are most flowers okay]

I also had another question that I've been asking all of you if you don't mind, though it's a bit heavier.

[ most flowers are fine so long as they're not poisonous ]

Oh, sure. What is it?

[yayyy]

Do you feel worried about your memories being gone? Or do you feel any regret for letting them go?

Hmmm... Worried, a little. I don't regret it if it's for the good of everyone, but... [ they lift a hand to their chest ] Sometimes I wonder who I used to be and what my life was like.

[ . . . . he nods along with that.]

It's something that I'd thought when I first heard that you all gave up your memories for us -

It's rather selfless of you.... but getting caught in the nobility of it could be distracting from acknowledging the way you might all feel a bit hurt even now.

[ they shake their head, immediate ]

You guys are losing your memories too. We agreed to this, and you didn't. I don't think our hurt matters that much.

Did you agree to being brought here before us and being assigned as our leaders?

I think so? [ reassuring. ] We remember agreeing to exchange our memories, which is what's important, I think.

Mm....

[he seems to agree - up until a point]

... but if I may - I think that even if you agreed, that doesn't change how you feel. And that's alright, if you do miss what you used to know.

Your hurt matters as much as anyone else's, because what you lost still matters to you.

Of course it does. But I don't want you guys to worry about us, or act like we're suffering when you're the ones who have to go through all of this, and we can't even help.

[dw ate this notif i was like why am i only bugging wolf]

... I know that you feel as though that you have an awful lot of responsibility in this situation -

But you know that we care about you all too. Worrying is just a byproduct of caring. They come together, I'm afraid.

[ dw has done this to me so often recently i hate ]

I know. Still, I'd rather you all focus on yourselves, okay? We're fine.

Hmm....

Don't know if I can do that.

[but he does offer up a smile]

I'll try - but I'm afraid I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be worried about you even still moving forward. I hope you don't mind.

You can worry and focus on the big picture. I believe in your ability to multitask.

[ they definitely sound like they're teasing ]

Oh good, I do too.

[and he winks! little shit]

How are things with you and the others? I can't help but wonder what it's like inside your castle some days.

We don't talk that much as a group. I like Goat a lot, though.

[ goat is swan's favorite. ]

Goat does seem like someone easy to like.

[brackets can say that soo-won fucking loves goat so much]

What about Tiger? Aren't you three a bundle in a way?

[ they immediately puff up their cheeks ]

Tiger's kind of a jerk.

[sweet child]

... is that so...

That's too bad - it'd be nice if all of you could get along...

We can work together fine anyway, even if we're not all friends.

Hm.... That's true. That reminds me a bit of the tribes from my own lands.

So I suppose as long as you can still be just as effective...

[and then kano had scalpels in his shoes but it's cool]

[ it's fine no one knew that ]

It'd be better if we were friends, but alliances can work out even if you're not close.

[he nods at that]

As long as there's a sense of trust and respect?

Or at least a common goal, failing that.

[thinking of... his sweet disastrous generals...]

[ a beat as they think ]

Mostly the common goal thing. Yes.

[lmao]

And the common goal being restabilizing the Realm, collecting nova, and bringing everyone home...

I'd say that's a worthy one.
