Oh. Yeah, that's no good. Do you want me to take care of him?
secondwinded: (50)

[personal profile] secondwinded 2023-02-26 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
No problem.

[ He lifts up a hand. ]

I'd say "sorry," Martin, but . . . well. Looks like you've been judged, right?

[ And then, without even batting an eye, Sariel sends a sudden, sharp gust of wind at Martin, aiming to cut right through him. ]

[ He steps back, shaking out his hand. ]

Geez. Who knew it was like this for her . . .
secondwinded: (70)

[personal profile] secondwinded 2023-02-26 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
. . . yeah. Makes sense. But the truth is, you have to uncover everything. Warts and all.
secondwinded: (19)

[personal profile] secondwinded 2023-02-26 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
True. There's no point in hiding stuff from me, a complete stranger that fought against her.

[ He peers over at it. ]

What's that?
secondwinded: (54)

[personal profile] secondwinded 2023-02-26 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Will it help me find her?
secondwinded: (49)

[personal profile] secondwinded 2023-02-26 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Got it.

[ He reaches out to take it. ]

Point me in the right direction. I'll get the job done.

[ THE QUESTION MARK IS LEGIT BECAUSE TSURUNO FREEZES UP IN HORROR. Okay. Okay, listen, she thought he was just going to talk about what sort of jobs Yor was having to do, but--

Hello?! ]


Y--you mean--

[ Wow it's suddenly hard to talk with how hard her throat's locked up.

Please hold. ]
fanstheflames: (Insane inside)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-02-26 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ WELL, SEE-- ]

I'm--growing boys or anyone really shouldn't be eating people--

[ Help. ]
fanstheflames: (I light the match)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-02-26 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ This poor man. ]

... There... has to be another way... something you can do, to bring him to justice, beyond killing him! Even if those other people won't lock him away, why can't you?? Or exile him, or--!

[ Holding a man captive indefinitely > better than killing him. Standards. ]

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-02-26 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
And what, he dies, he gets a successor, you kill that successor too, repeating the same cycle until...?

Are you telling me you're okay with having Yor get trapped like that??
fanstheflames: (These golden ashes turn to dirt)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-02-26 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
... Then sorry, but my choice is not to kill him. I get it, I know people kill for all sorts of reasons, but I'm sick of it.

If she's trapped... then I want to try and find out what it is that's keeping her bound, and see what it is she really wants to do. And maybe it's this, but I won't know until I ask.

His blood runs cold as the Gardner speaks, spelling out Malchek's crimes.

"Is it true that he traffics children?" His voice was low, measured, staring down at the man as he steps forward.

His breath catches.

"And you use Children to do your dirty work." He growls in the gardner's direction as he kneels in front of the man. He could understand in a sick way, why a child would be the perfect method of assassinating someone like Malchek, as he tries to control the bile that threatened to rise as he took the knife back in hand, his eye narrowing darkly.

Like with the rabbit before, he was quick to cut.

He was aware of how heavily he was breathing as the memory fades, disgust in his core - at the trafficker who destroyed the lives of children, those that would send a child to kill. All he could hope for was those children were rescued eventually, if just for Yor's peace of mind.

Slowly, the pirate raises and drops the bloody knife on the grass as he turns to face the man - Yor's handler he surmised. "I did your dirty work,"

He glances back, as the body vanished - but it still cast a pall over the garden in his eye even with it's absence.

"I'll be taking the rabbit back to Yuri," He sigh. "I don't know what she went through in my heart, but I am not going to shy away not after what she has been through."
