No, that was Geto. He was Karlach's partner, until her death, and I was tasked with helping him find a new partner.
Mathis was partnered with Iwatooshi, weeks ago, and Ashlyn had recently offered to partner with me, so I knew she was available, so to speak.
[ putting a hand over his chest, where the mark used to be, now faded and white like an old scar. ]
I have at least gotten my life back in some ways. I do not intend to leave it here to rot, nor should you. I think perhaps, foolishly, everything will work out and all will be well?
Ah. [Well. With all the weeks gone by, there's a lot to have regrets about. She would have jumped to help either boy in a heartbeat. It just turned out Lavi needed her, too. His former partner being Kate only cemented the urge to do something about it.
Her gaze draws to the site of the old mark. Then flicks to his face. No longer veined in indigo, a poisonous threat. It still doesn't seem fair. He knocked out one impossible problem only to step on a rake right after.]
...I think we can manage a decent finish. Maybe there's a way to squeeze out of whatever this afterlife is back to our homes, too. It's more physical than anything I was raised to expect. [If you ignored the apparitions on Wednesday, you could count on the Thursday excursions to assuage your fears. Maybe it instilled a host of new ones, but seeing Iwatooshi and Nina in sound mind and body had done a great deal to boost her faith.] I don't think we'll rot. I'm scared, for what the cult might try to do to fight back.
But I trust our people. They're made of stronger stuff than most.
