With falling, or being caught?

[she'll put her down after a moment, but she stays close.]

[sonorant]

Both. Although they were mostly scripted, so it's a little less fun.

[ she'll reach for karlach's hand to hold. ]

[ablazement]

[takes her hand! her shoulders ease up.]

Nothing like a little organic falling to lift the spirits. [...] Let's go for a walk?

[sonorant]

... Sure. Let's.

[ she lets karlach lead them wherever. ]

I'm still worried about what's going to come next.

[ablazement]

Think all of us are.

[she doesn't go anywhere in particular, she just wants to move.]

We'll lose at least two more people tomorrow. And then we've got to start it all over again.

[sonorant]

[ they can walk idly. ]

Time's like this I wonder if I should think about finding my partner again, so I could wish to save at least one of them.

[ablazement]

I've been thinking about it too for the same reason.

[despite the fact that everybody keeps telling her to save herself, but never mind that.]

You got any hints?

[sonorant]

... You could wish for your heart, Karlach.

[ it's a gentle comment, but she can't be that much of a hypocrite here. ]

I was told a power was used on them the first week we were here.

[ablazement]

There's other people who need a beating one more than me.

[but it doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate it.]

I can't even remember who did. [a beat.] Oh, well. I guess I was. Gods, that feels like a million years ago.

[sonorant]

I don't agree. You deserve one as much as anyone else. Your life is precious.

[ she's firm about it. ]

It feels like an eon has passed each week. [ ... ] I do not mind sharing what my affinity is with you, if you are willing. Even if we aren't a match.

[ablazement]

[a little smile at that first part, at least.]

I've got just the one left, this week. So - sure. Hit me with it.

[sonorant]

[ YOUR LIFE IS IMPORTANT, KARLACH. ]

It is the Bakunawa.

[ablazement]

[EH]

Haven't heard that one before. [there are so many monsters that she just did not know existed.] I'm an Oni.

[sonorant]

I think I've heard of oni in another star system, but no one has mentioned oni to me here before now. If I do, I'll try to guide them to you. [ if they're willing. ]

Thank you, Karlach.

[ablazement]

Thanks. If it helps, my hint was it's an unexpected troublemaker. Which has not worked for me in the least.

[squeezes her hand, and then:]

You want me to keep my ear to the ground for yours?

[sonorant]

Unexpected? Most of the people who've caused trouble.... I feel like it's expected.

[ she squeezes back. ]

I wouldn't mind if you did.

[ablazement]

Right? I'm having the worst time with it.

[but.] I will. Thanks for trusting me.

[sonorant]

I wish you the best of luck.

[ if she wants to keep looking. ]

You're easy to trust, Karlach.
