[ hello! gale has been restored to proper wizardry and looks a good deal more comfortable. then again, he has real shoes now that leeches have a harder time getting through.
she's also back in the clothes that popped out of the swamp, which means she's in a white, formal looking gown that's a little bit torn up and fairly bloodied.]
Yes. Though I didn't receive anything very useful... [she's immensely jealous of everyone who got a weapon, but it's fine.] What happened to your face?
he scratches at the side of his face briefly with a hand - just. gently trying to divert from where it says `a meaningless death` plastered along the side of his neck. it runs along the strange mark he's always had there: a circle that starts on his chest and has tendrils running on his neck and over his cheek. it seems more obvious now with the ink. ]
Enjoying our home? Cozy, isn't it? At least it has a roof.
[she's mostly committed to not asking anyone about their markings, but that seems particularly worrying, so she stares for a moment longer than she has with most other people. her arm has ink displaying the collapse.]
[ gale is in the mortuary after a while, maybe letting karlach get some rest and taking a bit of a break to write furiously in that little notebook he has - he'll look up when she arrives though. ]
[hello it is the Worst Day "two people died this weekend" maybe so!! she's avoiding people in the barn, so she pauses when she sees him come in. the deer in headlights look is mild, but it's there.]
[the answer to that question to that question is going to be apparent when it takes her like five seconds to realize that's a real voice she just heard, turning towards him in surprise. just in case it wasn't clear, though:]
[ well he's probably not the first to find her because. he is going to change out of his freaking ocean clothes. but he'll come seek her out once he does. ]
[she's also changed her clothes, so there's no more blood. yay. she's quiet by nature, but there's something especially still about her body language when she glances his way.]
...I will be. [...] I think - we all wish it hadn't been her.
she comes out of the memory with a start, gripping her arm tight with her opposite hand to remind herself that she's here, that it wasn't her memory or her experience. there's a deep breath to steady herself, and then an even longer pause to decide what to say.]
[ the void! gale is pacing, mostly, and he's keeping his hands behind his back - though when he pulls them around to gesture a greeting it's pretty obvious he's shaking. adrenaline or otherwise. ]
[ he has been swamped! he is not against the swamp. well he has maybe a little against the swamp it is very gross and terrible, but sometimes healing just be like that.
he's somewhere where he can at least sit down, and tara is on his lap and looking very possessive and upset. her boy!!!!!!! he's healed over pretty well at least, the hand looks ... very stiff and scarred, but it's intact and the slice down his chest is a raw-looking but sealed wound. not all the way there quite yet.
he's got his big book again, flipping through the pages and taking some notes. ]
[ gale is on the boardwalk most of the day, just strolling up and down it, clearly a bit lost in thought.
thoughts you can hear, apparently. `Now of course true Ascension would require picking a proper divine domain, not one that is already fully encaptured by another god or you will be getting into territorial disputes--` ]
hi!! she's here hurrying towards the radio tower, but he catches her on the way. her thoughts are just a steady stream of no, no, no, no before she sees him and forces herself to stop. she's got a lion stuffed animal in her arms for some reason, but she shifts to rub at her eyes for a moment.]
[ he is somewhere taking a break from the Karlach sadness bubble, sitting kind of stiffly and clearly kinda in pain somewhere - hunched over his journal and writing. ]
[she's looking around the medical center, her feelings a little apprehensive, but when she sees gale, they change into a more complicated mix. after a pause:]
[ well he's got a general Sad emotion. just the big Sad feeling of grief you have when you've stabbed your big giant friend to death in front of god and everyone.
but he brightens when he sees Vin, and then feels slightly guilty. ]
[i havent gotten healing results yet but she's seeing him after she gets out of the swamp so he doesn't have to worry about the glass so i will update u when i know what her effect is but anyways!!
she's coming to carefully take a seat next to him. the emotion is just deep concern.]
[ well. he's somewhere quiet, probably like the tea garden or something, and writing furiously. so at least he's not staring into the void like before. ]
I believe it is a specialty of Neverwinter! Similar to a pancake, but created by being sandwiched between two hot plates to give it its characteristic "waffle" pattern.
