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...?

... Ah. I think I know what you mean.

Re: [LATER]

[heroictale]

Dash saw fit to restrain me. I'm fine now.

Re: [LATER]

[intellectum]

Sensible of her. And I doubt that. You're fine now. I'm sure you relapse soon enough.

Re: [LATER]

[heroictale]

You seem certain.

Re: [LATER]

[intellectum]

Of course I am.

Re: [LATER]

[heroictale]

You have experience with Noric.

Re: [LATER]

[intellectum]

...

Re: [LATER]

[heroictale]

Ah. I did not mean to cause trouble to this apartment when I moved here.

Re: [LATER]

[intellectum]

I know.

Re: [LATER]

[heroictale]

[there's a lot more emotion coming from him than usual. Sadness, confusion, lost.]

I'll sort this out with Ranniel. If I don't forget stories, I may not relapse.

Re: [LATER]

[intellectum]

Well, tell me if it works. Not that Noric will ever go to a God for help like that again.

Re: [LATER]

[heroictale]

It's understandable. They are not our gods, after all.

Re: [LATER]

[intellectum]

[blithely]

It's stupid. But how I can understand men and their gods?

Re: [LATER]

[heroictale]

You sound like an angry wife, Xavier.

Re: [LATER]

[intellectum]

Well, I've come to the conclusion that men are idiots.

Re: [LATER]

[heroictale]

Ah.

[awkward]

Re: [LATER]

[intellectum]

"Ah" indeed.

Re: [LATER]

[heroictale]

We do well enough to survive.

Re: [LATER]

[intellectum]

And damn the consequences.

Re: [LATER]

[heroictale]

Well...

Re: [LATER]

[intellectum]

Spare me, I rather not hear excuses anymore.

Re: [LATER]

[heroictale]

I was not about to give any.

... are you all right? I heard you both yesterday.

Re: [LATER]

[intellectum]

[he scowls]

We'll be fine. Somehow.

Re: [LATER]

[heroictale]

Quarrels are a part of a couple's life, as I'm aware.

Good luck to you both.

Re: [LATER]

[intellectum]

[brittle smile]

I won't be the one who needs it.
