Return!

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I'm tired, Mun. What do you wish of me? I have played your games before and found little enjoyment in them.

[He looks up from darning a blanket. Why yes, he can darn. Shut up. It's manly.]

What do you mean anything is possible?

I damn well hope so. I won't go back to that.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Never. Those who used you will have all of the Heralds and Bards to face if they tried to take you.

[wildgift]

I'm not a Herald. I don't have the Palace to fall back on. If anything happens to my hands or my voice, that's where I'll be.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

No. [His voice is fierce.] That's not how it works. You're one of our own. Even if you broke your hands or became mute, there is a place for you.

[wildgift]

I can only hope.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I make you a promise.

[wildgift]

Then I'll believe you.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Please do. I don't make them lightly.

[wildgift]

I know. Thank you.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Besides, I would chase you and bring you back.

[wildgift]

I suppose I should spare you the effort.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I would appreciate that greatly.

[wildgift]

Fine. Thank you, Van.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I could show you my home one day.

[wildgift]

And your crazy family?

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Indeed. They are one of a kind.

[wildgift]

That's one way of putting it.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Lissa isn't so bad and then there's Medren...

But their good traits are overshadowed by the rest, I'm afraid.

[wildgift]

How sad.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Or hilarious. It depends on your point of view.

[wildgift]

Hilarious seems much more bearable.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I won't inflict them on you until we know each other better.

[wildgift]

How generous of you.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Sarcasm?

[wildgift]

Would I do something like that?
