Masque shrugs. "Sin exists. Sin always comes back. That's all I know. I don't know how to have an opinion about that."

Permalink

"I meant about me. Finishing it. Personally."

Permalink

Masque is definitely confused by that question.

Permalink

"If I go to the end, I will definitely die, and you will maybe die. Or...stop existing. If I stop, we can...I don't know. Decide on something else. I just wanted to know if you would...prefer one of them."

Permalink

...That doesn't seem to have cleared up any of the confusion.

Permalink

"Okay. That's okay. Can I just- Can I hold you?"

Permalink

They shrug. "As you will."

Permalink

Zveran curls into them, tucking his head into their shoulder.

Permalink

They hum quietly, and then wrap an arm around him in turn.

Permalink

Zveran is quiet for a long moment. And then-

"I don't want to say goodbye. Not to you."

Permalink

Masque hums again, doesn't seem to know what to say.

Permalink

Zveran doesn't seem to know what to say either. And usually, he knows exactly what to. It's a new field for him. 

Even with Bambi...

He simply nestles into Masque a little more, and closes his eyes.

Permalink

Well then, they can rest in quiet then.

Permalink

And if in the night, Zveran crawls closer, clings a little tighter, well. He's sleeping, isn't he?

Permalink

Well, Masque doesn't pull away.

Permalink

Even when he wakes up the next morning, Zveran keeps close contact with Masque, for as long as he can get away with.

Permalink

Masque does not seem incined to pull away immediately.

Permalink

Eventually he does pull away, and stands. After a while, he speaks. "The next temple isn't until Mount Gagazet. We still have to cross the whole of the Calm Plains."

Permalink

Masque rises, stretching easily. "An easy enough journey, all things considered."

Permalink

"True. We have had it significantly worse. And the Maesters have very little to do out here."

Permalink

"Not many people to call to arms."

Permalink

"No need to fear the blasphemous Al Bhed."

Permalink

"Well then. We had better get on the road again."

Permalink

"True. Plenty of time to turn around. Consider a blitzball career."

Permalink

"You'd probably make a good blitzball player You're agile enough."
