That he laughs at the mention of torture makes the entire idea seem brittle, and tenuous. Was he jesting? Torture was a word that could be used in a dramatic way, such as the torturous endeavor of surviving a herd meeting – but the rest? I had certainly never described a minor scuffle as a beating, and also had never used the term in sequence with “torture,” at least not in such a light hearted sense. The image all together portrayed something that wasn’t funny, so much as it was terribly dark. "You’re serious?" I ask, pretending to ignore his commentary about the trouble that seems to follow me around (I being the first to lure him away from the safety of the Basin, and into the world; me, the adventurer, the beguiler, the head of the spear that was us, before that life shattered into too many scattered pieces to be repaired), "hardly something to laugh about, unless this friend is less of a friend than the term suggests." Or he’s grown colder than I could have ever dreamt, which I pray to not be the case. The seriousness that overtakes him at the mention of those who had used the blue stone against me draws a robust amount of laughter to my lips. Albrecht was not worth killing, if only because he would likely be thankful for its delivery, and the child? I’m quite capable of killing her myself, if she ever comes near me again. My laughter dies, however, when he inquires as to whether or not it will be worth it. Will it? I don’t know. All I do know is that it’s something to work towards, some way to better myself that doesn’t involve hoping some legendary warrior doesn’t try to beat me bloody again. Besides, what could be bad about having an immortal God on your side? "No. The elder is a broken old fool, is all, and any girl who has to rape to get dick is probably going to die of loneliness long before either of us get to her," I answer, with a chuckle and a wink, "to be honest, though, I don’t know if it will be worth it, or not. It can’t be any less futile than my fight against the Wildfire was, that’s for certain… so there’s that at least." [ OOC: IMMEDIATELY TAGS YOU BACK YEAHHHH ] |
