Who: Heron, anyone
When: Day 33, evening
Where: Hallway leading to hole in the wall
What: godless priest

[A shirtless Heron (with obviously bruised and possibly broken ribs) is staggering along the hallway, muttering something under his breath the whole time. There are old scars all over his body. And one more clearly than the rest is a mark of an apple with a quill as its stem that sits right over his heart. His eyes are unfocused as he walks along. The only clear sentence being...]

What comes after? Ma, what comes after...?

. . . do you feel calmer?

[heroictale]

Yes.

[thevineintervention]

If I untie you, Heron the Wanderer, do you think you can refrain from wandering?

[heroictale]

Yes.

[thevineintervention]

[undoing the knots by hand '^']


If you are still mad, I shall be quite put out . . . !

[heroictale]

I promise I will stay.

[thevineintervention]

[aaaand done]

[heroictale]

[does it count as mad if the first thing he does is lean forward to kiss her?]

[thevineintervention]

[no that makes him smart '-']

[heroictale]

[awesome because there's something desperate behind the kiss this time :x]

[thevineintervention]

[y-yes, she can notice that. responding gently, hands taking his face carefully]

[heroictale]

[closes his eyes and leans into that, breathing a sigh of relief]

[thevineintervention]

[Is not good at words so will just. keep touching]

[heroictale]

[touching is perfectly fine] Can you stay?

[thevineintervention]

I can.

[heroictale]

Thank you.

[thevineintervention]

I'll have to go get the meat blessed, but that shouldn't take overlong.

[heroictale]

Will he go with you?

[thevineintervention]

Hmm, probably not, unless I asked nicely. I'm sure he has wine to drink somewhere.

[heroictale]

Strange man.

[thevineintervention]

Isn't he? What luck I've had!

[heroictale]

I'm glad you like him.

[thevineintervention]

Thank you. Well, he's a little ridiculous but easy enough to get along with if you indulge his ego a bit.

[heroictale]

So I'm seeing. You told him about me?

[thevineintervention]

He was there . . . when you first arrived. We'd just settled the contract.
