to those that knew her, irisviel von einzbern is gone. make note of it.

Comments

[hypomeneo]

Thank you for letting us know. She was a good friend.

[And she deserved better. He can't say death, as that comes to all things and Waver isn't permitted to know her circumstances, but better. What better looks like, he cannot say... only better. Just better.]

[curruid_coinchenn]

it's the least i could do.

[ Literally. ]

it seems she was too good for this place.

[hypomeneo]

[It's enough.]

It seems so indeed. I will miss her regardless. Her outlook was refreshing.

[He's not going to ask Berserker if he's okay. Not yet, anyway. There's something telling Waver that maybe Berserker considers this just what is. It'd track with their earlier conversation.]

[curruid_coinchenn]

[ There's a delay in the text. Does he really want to open up to someone he's met once? He's in such a weird state that it seems like a good idea. ]

...hm. she put her faith in someone that didn't deserve it. she served me well and without question. her outlook was strange and had an effect on me, as well.

[ The emotional bond they shared affected him deeply. The strange sorrow he feels is unfamiliar and he hates it. ]

[hypomeneo]

[Hm. Not okay, maybe, if he's deciding to talk to him. Not a thing probably to point out if Waver wants him to continue talking.]

I found that as well. That it had an effect. Our relationships with other people always mark us, sometimes deeply, sometimes irreversibly, despite the fact they may be brief. [Personal experience talking, even if he can't speak of that fact.] If they fulfill a need, that is especially true.

Her positivity was something I needed. I can be quite cynical. For you, as you were bonded, that is for you to decide what is true here.

Why would you say you didn't deserve it?

[trustheart]

I see.

Thank you for telling us. I'm sorry for your loss as well.

[curruid_coinchenn]

i will be fine. don't concern yourself with me. take care of yourself first.

[trustheart]

Alright. But the offer to talk if you need it was always open.

[curruid_coinchenn]

don't hold hope i'll take you up on that, but it is appreciated.

[ Avenger was gone much earlier, so that's the second one? ]

Wait, does this mean you're without a now?

[curruid_coinchenn]

[ Ah. So that's why so many people know his True Name. Something to be filed away for later. ]

that's right. i'm a useless god for now.

how the hell "shinki" part disappeared from my comment, I am mad

[futhark]

[ Just like Berserker can't stop posting as Balor, he can't stop posting under his True Name either. God name stuff. ]

Oh, quit it. It's only temporary and gods can do a lot of shit without a shinki too.

[ He never expected to find himself trying to snap his Berserker alter out of misery, but here he is. ]

They might assign you one soon. But there are options just so you know. Gods disappear too and godless shinki seek new options. There's a temporary housing made for them too.

the word ran away

[curruid_coinchenn]

... i know that, but i'm not used to this feeling.

[ He'll concede he's being mopey, but it's the first time he's felt sadness in a long time, so you'll have to excuse him. ]

i know there are options, but i have no interest in taking on another shinki right now. i will manage on my own for a time.

[beyondtheblade]

[Tsubasa feels stunned enough it takes her awhile to reply, but she does. Eventually.]

...I am sorry. I had only just started to know her, but... I feel that she had done a lot for me all the same, even if not directly.

[curruid_coinchenn]

she had that effect on people, it would seem.

[ Himself included. ]

your condolences aren't necessary, though.

[beyondtheblade]

She did, at that. A little kindness can go a long way, honestly.

Still, it feels only right to say as much.

[curruid_coinchenn]

her kindness would have been her downfall eventually. she was kind to those who didn't deserve it.

[ A seemingly cruel comment, but it's just how he deals with the unwanted emotions he's feeling. ]

even if it feels right, i don't need them. give them to her friends, if you need to share condolences with someone.

[cleansingstrike]

Brief as our time together was, 'twas enjoyable to have had her company.

[curruid_coinchenn]

she had that effect on people. her presence could lighten a dark room.

[ Or a dark person. Not gonna admit that. ]

[cleansingstrike]

I find myself agreeing with your words. 'Tis my hope that she's able to find peace, now.

[curruid_coinchenn]

her death brought her no sorrow or despair. she will be at peace in that state once again. so your hope isn’t futile.

[heptagram]

Disappointing.

I hope she at least learned something from what we spoke of.

[curruid_coinchenn]

and what did you speak of?

[heptagram]

We spoke extensively of magic and how it works in our home worlds.

[curruid_coinchenn]

that doesn't surprise me. she was working on turning part of the temple into a workshop for her magic. i'm sure she learned something from your talks. her curiosity about everything was ... endearing.
