second bull ( video )

[pontificus]

( locked to Seelie )

I pray for those who've left the castle of Caer Glaem. [She dips her head gently, though she still finds herself at a loss for how she can help, do something.]

I know I am not the only one, [Fine lady or not.] who knows not what her presence in this realm could do. I do not understand this war, but I am here regardless. I have taken time to learn the court here, and I would like to ask how I could serve. I am not skilled in any craft nor have I any supernatural abilities. But I have two hands and a willingness to learn--

[She pauses.] I helped with the injured during the last attack, and though there are those called out, I'm not sure what use I could be.

[She doesn't want to be some spoiler princess-esque type. If she's learned anything, she must be proactive in her own life lest she fall aside for the wants of others.]

You wanna heal the gimps? Be my guest, but make sure you're looking at this whole thing dead on. Don't let these... whatever they are, influence you.

[pontificus]

I care for the people here, our fellow captives. This is not my war.

[mulletrock]

How can you care for anyone? It's been a month. At this point we're still not sure who's friendly and who isn't. Be smart about this.

[pontificus]

I am smart. First rule of war is to arm yourself and have allies. I have done that. And well. Perhaps you should be smart about it.

[mulletrock]

How can you team up here when you don't know what you're dealing with? Hostages included. My track record for trustworthy allies isn't the greatest. Sorry, princess.

private.

[pontificus]

Because there is safety in numbers. And I should do what I can for those who cannot. You may live as you wish to, but I know that I have done all that I can at the end of the day. Can you say the same?

And I am no princess. I am a Borgia.

[mulletrock]

I'm still working out how to get back to the mainland. I might not be the most user friendly guy around but that doesn't mean I'm gonna let people die either.

private.

[pontificus]

And that is how allies are born.

private.

[mulletrock]

Guess you're right. Didn't really think about it like that.

private.

[pontificus]

We are all here just trying to survive.

private.

[mulletrock]

That's the majority, but these goons are using us like decoys. Who even knows which side's responsible for starting the whole thing?

Just- uh, keep in touch with me here if you need an extra set of hands.

private.

[pontificus]

It is kind of you to think of me. I shall if ever I have need.

private.

[mulletrock]

I'll try to make it down, or at least organize someone to stand in my place.

Making time's rough when everything's so spread out.

private.

[pontificus]

Are you not in the castle?

private.

[mulletrock]

No, I'm over by the station now. Made the trip a while back.

private.

[pontificus]

You are not the first I have heard. What is it like?

private.

[mulletrock]

It's livable. Besides that? Nothing special.

private.

[pontificus]

[She wouldn't know how not to live in a castle.]

Still it must be fascinating. Will you keep me updated?

private.

[mulletrock]

Yeah, I guess. What kinda updates are you looking for?

private.

[pontificus]

Anything worthy of being news. And of yourself of course. [See how allies work indeed.]

private.

[mulletrock]

Maybe I can swing that. I'll stay in touch. Maybe eventually I'll be able to roam instead of being stranded at the station.

private.

[pontificus]

Then I hope to speak with you soon.

private.

[mulletrock]

Hey, maybe you'll hear from me sooner than you think.
