You have reached the Communication Device of the Disciple.

I am sorry. It looks like I am unable to answer at the moment.

Please leave a message, and I will get back to you.

[The entire time, he listens as patiently as he always has. There is no judgement; after all, who is he to judge? He who has already hurt so many others, on purpose or from simple ignorant foolishness? He's already been forgiven, even as he is sometimes sure he doesn't deserve it.]

[She deserves so much than him, surely.]

[When she finally looks back to him, he brushes her hair away from her face.]

He will forgive yo. If no one else, then he would forgive you. He should know how you have suffered and been scarred from the life you have lead.

As for the issue with Dualscar, it sounds as though you need a moirail to control your anger, or an auspitice to deal with him alone. Would you agree with that idea?

[feralfanatic]

[She was not sure what Darkleer was going to say. She was a little confused with he barely comments on it at all, drawing a strange look from Disciple, But she presses on.]

I have spoken with Kanaya about it. She somehow tried apologizing to me... I am just glad she was fine.

Signless, he...Thank you. It helps to hear that, even If I already know it to be true. It is still a conversation I am dreading.

[And in regards to Dualscar...]

I need something... Either common sense enough to walk away, or perhaps a muzzle of some variety so that he may not speak. No that is unfair of me. [She sighs]

...I have never really needed to worry about the quadrants before. I mean back when I was with the rebels, Signless was all I truly needed. Then in the wilds, I had nobody at all. Now it is all... complicated...

[aim_exorable]

She seems like a sturdy girl with a very calm head upon her shoulders. I am not surprised to hear she is well.

[At her suggestions, he gives a light snort, lip quirking up for a brief second.]

Common sense is often overtaken by rage. It happens to the best of trolls. Although I will admit that the idea of one day gagging Dualscar quite soundly is not an idea you alone have pondered.

[Carefully, he starts to lead her to the stairs. Yes, they could use the elevator, but this will give them some time to talk. If anything urgent happens, he knows the others will contact him.]

I understand that more than anything. But sometimes, we must adapt... or do our best.

[feralfanatic]

[Disciple follows his lead without even really noticing there was an option. They were moving in a direction, and that was enough. The fact that there was stairs was irrelevant.]

I believe I will be fine, if he is there. I am sure the condition Signless is in will completely override that he is there at all. As long as he does not keep me from him I do not foresee an issue. But you are right, I think. That in the long run it might be best to find someone to serve as a moirail or as an auspistice...

[aim_exorable]

With him, it is hard to tell. Dualscar can be fickle and foolish, an aggravating combination. If anything occurs, then I will intervene.

I am not sure if I can give a suggestion right away, but if just for this encounter, I could auspitize for you. I have spoken well enough with Dualscar before, and if nothing else, I can force him physically out of the room if he truly is unreasonable.

[feralfanatic]

Thank you, Darkleer. With everything that has happened, you have always been there to help me. Even now you have me thinking somewhat clearly... quite a feat, I would say, considering it feels like my blood pumper is about to leap from my chest and run screaming around the hotel.

[She reaches out to place her hand on his arm.]

I really mean it, though. Thank you; for everything.

[aim_exorable]

[There's a jolt, just a miniscule one, when he feels a touch reaching out to him. He should get used to it, he really should, but it always feels... strange, to know she's touching him. That they're even talking.]

It... [He looks away.] It is the least I could do.

[After everything.]

[feralfanatic]

['Least I could do'. an innocuous-enough statement, but in this moment it was enough to make Disciple finally realize. Yes she has forgiven him, Signless too, he knew that. Even if they have forgiven him though, The poor thing has yet to forgive himself.]

[The thought gives her hesitation, but there wasn't much she could act on. It was something he would have to come to terms with. For now, all Disciple could do was continue to show him everything was okay. In that vein, she takes her hand that was patting him and snakes it around his arm, hugging onto it.]

I would be lying if I said I was not nervous about seeing him like this. It was many sweeps ago I last saw him like this. I can only hope my daymares made it as terrible as I seem to remember it being.

[aim_exorable]

[The constant touching- kind and gentle- is almost uncomfortable mostly for how it is confusing to him. Perhaps it is her way of coping? So he lets it slide- he would have anyway, helpless as he is to her existence.]

If you need a moment to yourself, take it. No one would judge you. [Well, Dualscar would, probably, but who cares what he thinks.] I will be there the whole time as well.

[feralfanatic]

[Too bad for Darkleer, now that Disciple was opening up to him, he would be getting touched a lot. She was a very physical person, he better get used to the hugs.]

No... I think I need to just get in there. I will follow you in. If nothing else to keep you between me and Dualscar.

[aim_exorable]

Very well.

[There's a ping on his SFC, which he answers quickly, and then they're exiting the stairs to the floor their room is on. Taking a deep breath, he knocks on the door, waits for an answer... and then enters the room.]
