36 metals ; homeward

[ private to marsh ]

Do you think your god - the new god - could use someone like me?

[ spam, cassel ]

[ He seeks Cassel out, after the conversation with Marsh, knocks at his door. Cassel is family; family is the first he's going to tell.

He won't be gone forever. Just for a little while. Just enough to get his bearings again. ]


[ spam, emperor ]

[ Lying idly in the Emperor's garden, brushing a soft leaf between his fingertips. ]

I'm going to go home.

[ This is stated somewhat tentatively. Not because he isn't mostly sure about the decision, but because he isn't sure how it will be taken. ]

[ video, locked to close cr; includes Cassel, Barbara, Iris, Bush, Chris, Anya, Charles, Morgana, Kelsier, Marsh, Vin, Emperor, possibly others I have missed, ask if confused ]

I'm going - home. To Scadrial. The planet where I was born. Years after I died, and I hear it's a little different now, but I'm going.

I'm don't think I'm ready for this - being a warden - yet. That's all.

I'll be back. This is more home to me than anywhere else has been.

[ locked to mistcast ]

If there's anything you want me to find, or find out, tell me now.

[ video ; open ]

I'll be leaving, temporarily. If you have business with me, we should conclude it now.

[More emotion shows in her eyes in this moment than she almost ever shows in public. She's proud, but she's angry and frustrated and terrified, too. Only one of these is really for Zane.]

Do you remember Spook?

Well, find him. Find him and make sure he's not being an idiot.

. . . And tell Sazed I'm sorry.

[For what, she doesn't and won't specify.]

He is. Once he was my friend. Advisor.

[She misses him. Painfully.]

Are you afraid?

He'll welcome you.

[Despite everything. Because of everything. In conjunction with everything. He'll love Zane, probably, in the way that he loves broken monsters: so much and so warmly that they gain a little wholeness from being in his presence.]

He'll never make you do anything you don't want to do.

Marsh is telling you the truth. But - then that's what he does.

[Brutal truths have always been Marsh's purview. She averts her eyes briefly, then forces herself to look back.]

Don't cry. You won't be alone there. Sazed will see you for what you are, for what you've sacrificed. For your potential.

You'll spar with me before you go.

[Not a question, or a request. It will calm him down. She knows.]

[She's not good at talking and she won't touch him. This is what she can do.]
indispensible: (◎ teach us love again)

private/video ➥ we can spam or not, up to you!

Good.

[Always.]

[There is only a brief hesitation before she hangs up, quickly and with every appearance of confidence.]
