Voice | Unseelie Lockets | All H. Compasses

[raavashing]

[Late in the evening of the 14th day of May, Wan's voice comes over the networks very briefly. It is haggard, quiet, almost dead sounding. It sat at the edge of being numb to everything.]

I'm sorry.

Hey, you did your best, mate.

voice; compass locked

[Once she's had time to deal with and process the loss of her fire magic, Merida checks her compass. If she was still sixteen, if she hadn't grown up some she would be blaming him, but instead she just shakes her head.]

It's not your fault.

text; private.

[survivra]

You did more than anyone. More than anyone else in this world even tried.

[digophelia]

Are any of you hurt?

[ zuko isn't really sure what to say. he's met failure head on for the duration of his life. he's had a man take his bending away and he had managed to get it back. his sister had beat him down relentlessly and he still remains standing. a part of him is livid he feels different, slightly unbalanced by the pyrii having leapt to their fate without even fighting. ]

[ that's what he's angered about. they hadn't even tried. ]

[ despite his own irritation, zuko's voice is cool, if slightly tired. ]

There's no point in fighting for someone who isn't willing to fight for themselves.

[ when sam speaks, it's quietly and gently, not the voice of a therapist but of one in mourning. silence out of respect for the dead; even if the pyrii's actions and the void itself make no sense to sam, death does. ]

The dead can't forgive you, Wan.

[ wan doesn't need him to say 'it's okay', because it isn't. it won't be for a long time, if ever - but they have to at least try to make a start. ]

And none of us blame you. If you're looking for forgiveness, sorry to say, man. You're gonna have to find it for yourself.

[ sam should write fortune cookies, real talk. ]

We all are. We tried, Wan. Sometimes, that's all you can do. But I won't have you blaming just yourself. We all had a part in it, that came to help you with this. If you're going to blame yourself, blame us too.

[Because they all had to struggle. Had to watch helplessly as it unfolded before them. That guilt and failure washing over.]

...monsieur?

[She recognizes the voice. Recognizes teasing him, recognizes it from their discussions in the past year. But he sounds so very sad and it doesn't take long to realize why.]

You should not feel as though you have failed. Not alone.

voice; obsidian

[arla]

[ Oh, Wan. ]

You did everything you could. We should be the ones apologizing, those who did not go to try to help.

[ She would not have been able to learn the magic needed. But still, it hurts to know she did not try. ]

Are you and the others all right?

VOICE.

[selfimage]

Chin up, there will be more to save by the time this is over.

[ he says, taking a breath. he has other places go, more gambles, but he's not about to give up. and even if he might sound a little casual. he figured that Wan didn't exactly need words of comfort as much as he might need purpose. ]

[semiurge]

Hey, we did the best we could. I'm sorry too, but at least we tried.

[notavirtue]

What happened?

[He can guess the outcome, but he's more interested in details, regardless of whether or not Wan is willing to give them. It wouldn't be the first time someone hung up on him.]
