Why would it be? We'll be doing the same thing next week. [ he shrugs ] I'll get my catharsis when we show those assholes what for at the end of all this.
[ at home, too. even the moments that should have been triumphant aren't. klinger's death. the opera house. it should've laid his parents souls to rest. it should have helped his village. it didn't. all it did was show him a similarity he never wanted to see.
that's just murmured, though, so. ]
Yeah. Eyes on the prize - playing the game to burn this place down. Not just for us, but for all who might come after.
[ hrm. how to explain. his nose wrinkles a little. ]
... The first time I ran into someone who - caused everything, he was a prick. A callous, prejudiced coward sycophant, who destroyed my home and the lives of countless others because he wanted power. The worst of the worst.
I was able to beat him half to death but he got away from me at the last moment. When we ran into him again, he was a captive at the same time I was - and he was fed to a human practically in front of my eyes. A gruesome, horrific, awful death. He died screaming. I should've felt vindicated. It's what he deserved.
[ ... ]
I didn't. [ the knife goes down hard into whatever he's prepping, frustration. ] I just felt sick. And that's one example of many.
[ ace, who would be completely fine if his enemy got eaten to death: absolutely cannot relate to this
he doesn't say that, he just keeps chopping after a concerned look at strohl ]
You wanted him to die at your hand to get revenge. That's not the same as wanting him to be tortured before dying by people who would have just as soon done the same to you. [ idly ] Or maybe you just don't want to watch people die gruesomely in general. Some people can't stand that kind of thing.
I've seen plenty of people die gruesomely. The only thing that shakes my stomach's - well.
[ you know
the motion sickness.
that's sort of a joke - something lighter - but... he resumes his prepwork, shaking his head. ]
I don't know. [ klinger did deserve to get eaten, but man. there's a whole other issue too, one even larger, but he doesn't bring that up. ] ...either way. I don't want that for her highness. Her coming to harm fixes nothing. It doesn't bring Vi back.
[ a pause. ]
...Could go for a spar again, though, if you're up for it. After we eat.

[ with a snort, soft. ]
It's always that way. Not even cathartic, anymore.

No, it doesn't. Rosie's as alright as she can be right now, though. She'll manage.
[ because she is at least no longer possessed? yay? ]
Sure. You know I'm always up for one.
