If I make it through all of this... I don't know what my situation's going to be like, when I get back. So, I don't... want to cause you any pain or anything.
.... Those knights don't care about justice, or what's right.
But it was my fault, too. Espella.. that girl in the memory, she was... going to sacrifice herself, to try to end the witch trials.... I couldn't stand by and do nothing. I managed to get her to escape, but..... well.... my situation got dicey.
There are other lovely things... The city I live in, Derdriu, is beautiful. It was built on the water, so there are canals running all through it, and it opens up to the sea on one side.

His expression tightens at that, a frown on his face, before he relaxes again. ]
Then I'll just follow you long enough to lend a hand.
no subject
Oh, um, you don't have to do that...
[ that would be very awkward claude ]
But thank you.

Only if you really think you'll be all right.

Well..... I think you could probably show those dumb knights a thing or two...

But Nick's feelings might be hurt if you show him up like that.
