Look...it's the streets.
Skuld looks to Kyrian and pulls her hand back from the waiting rune.
I'm going to prove to her that this isn't my fault. My plan is to reveal that portion of the tapestry of fate to her.
She crosses her arms.
If you question what I am doing I can do it to you first, if that is a preferable solution. I don't think you have much to fear, do you?
No, I don't. And if you don't mind, I would prefer you do it to me first then.
Nathaniel wakes up from Dead Time. He looks around with confusion. "Damn, I hate it when that happens." With a yawn and a stretch, he heads over to Trog's.
Skuld nods and moves towards him, then sketches the same rune in front of his head, then places a hand over it and touches him on the forehead with the tip of her fingers.
Kyrian suddenly knows that Skuld was not the one at fault for Iames's and Aerin's disappearance. How he can be so certain is unclear, but he can tell that there is no way this could be false.
He gains a collection of small knowledges that all prove without a doubt that Skuld was not the one behind this. It gives her location at the time, and many things leading up to that time that (taken all together) indicate that she had not prepared anything ahead of time (including the bracelets which had been given to the three as their wedding gift).
Kyrian opens his eyes and nods, allowing her to show Vera.
Skuld steps back towards Verdandi and repeats the process, though she seems to have to strain a little more to actually accomplish it with Vera. Verdandi glares, though her features tremble a little.
Its a lie. I know its your fault! I know... its...
She hangs her head and sobs.
Skuld sighs and releases the bonds of force, then puts her armored arms around Verdandi. She doesn't look particularly comfortable with the situation.
Kyrian motions to Skuld that he'll that he'll hold Verdandi, if it'd make her more comfortable.
Skuld easily shifts Verdandi's weight in her arms, moving to pass the crying valkyrie to Kyrian without Verdandi even seeming to notice.
Kyrian holds Verdandi, trying to comfort her just by being there.
Verdandi cries and puts her arms tightly around Kyrian, while Skuld backs away and then darts off into the sky.
It'll be ok... Kyrian holds her, allowing her to cry.
Verdandi nods to Kyrian while her wings shudder.
Kyrian holds her close, gently rubbing her back.
Verdandi's crying slows and she pulls her wings to her back, but out of Kyrian's way. She leans against him, pain still in her eyes.
Kyrian keeps rubbing her back, gently.
Verdandi looks up at him, her clear blue eyes sad but grateful.
Thank you.
You don't need to. I care about you, and only want to make sure you'll be ok.
Verdandi smiles a little and leans her head back against him. Her hair falls out of place somewhat.
Kyrian smiles back at her.
Verdandi pulls her wings open and curls them slightly around the two of them, though mostly around herself.
So...before we were interrupted, is there anything you'd like to do today?
Verdandi shakes her head.
Not really.
You're going to get through this Verdandi...I know you will.
I know. Eventually.
Kyrian gives a small nod, and a small smile. It'll take time, but Vera...you've got friends here that care for you, and will help you through this.
Verdandi smiles at him and puts her wings a little further around him.
Kyrian doesn't seem to notice this. I can't speak for everybody, but I know that I won't give up on you. I'll do everything I can to help you.
Verdandi wraps her wings all the way around him and hums a little.
Kyrian looks off into the distance.
Therarde walks out of the library with a sigh and makes his way back to Trog's.
Verdandi remains as she is, smiling.
Kyrian looks at her. What?
Nothing.
Verdandi keeps smiling.
What are you thinking about that's got you smiling?
You just managed to get me into a good mood.
Verdandi closes her eyes and keeps leaning against Kyrian.
I only try my best.
She smiles and ruffles her wings a little.
How about a drink?
Verdandi nods and pulls away from him.
Kyrian smiles and looks down at the streets below. Any preference as to where?
I... I don't think I'm up for Trog's.
Knowing my luck, I'll walk in and the daily bar fight would start...where to then?
Verdandi shrugs.
Kyrian shakes his head and laughs. Well, there's Hank's and the SMBR?
Lets go to Hanks.
Kyrian nods, and with a smile and wink, dives off the edge of the roof.
Verdandi hops of the roof after him and lands without taking any harm.
Kyrian catches himself with his hands, cracking the ground beneath him as he stops in a handstand. He smiles as he flips himself onto his feet.
Verdandi shakes her head, smiling slightly.
Kyrian smiles and sticks his tongue out at her as he leads her to Hank's.
Verdandi follows him, smiling softly.
What appears to be The Masked One stumbles out of the temple of Inari. He limps aimlessly around the street, seemingly entirely lost.
Kyrian finally finds the place and opens the door for Verdandi.
Verdandi goes inside.
Nazgul leads Aeri out of Trog's and smiles at her.
Aeri smiles and looks around Where would you like to go?
Starts running about, hunting down and eliminating any zombies that got out of Trog's.
As long as it's with you, it really matters little to me. Anywhere you'd like to go?
Aeri thinks Somewhere peaceful and nice. I don't really know many places around here.
