Kiraman, yes. I've been trying to use his name more often. [ the emoshare is faintly amused, but appreciative of the remark. ] That's reassuring to hear. He had his hands full most—if not all of the time.
[ their resident workaholic... ]
...The trips did happen a bit later on. It was an unpleasant surprise, but we were fortunate to have accelerated healing where we were, and potent items as well. [ their sn**py bandaids... WHICH SOME PEOPLE REFUSED but that is okay, oocly everyone gets to have fun beating up their blorbos ]
I brought a couple back with me, though it seems we may no longer have much need of them. But I'd like to give you one to hold onto, just in case.
[ assuming jiaoqiu is okay with this, he will carefully place one of the bandaids in his paw! ]
Ah... I could have used one of these many times on this side. Thank you. [ it's okay anyway, most people are healed all the way, now - so he can't complain.
it's fixed literally the next day but he doesn't know that so: ]
None of these items have reversed the effect the Tumbledust had. [ ... ] I do wonder how I'll explain this to Feixiao.
Mhm, I wish I would've been able to give you one sooner.
[ but it is good that everyone is back in one piece, mostly... ]
We have time to come up with an elaborate story, I'm sure. [ his words are light, but the emoshare is sympathetic. ] But... when in time where you thinking of returning?
[ does he mean before things with hoolay happen? ]
[ but apparently items like that sent through the mail got depowered so y'know. ]
... I'm not sure. [ thinks about it. ] We arrived to the Luofu with the intention of taking Hoolay back to the Yaoqing to keep him prisoner there. I'd thought to catch the borisin before they could free him.
But... I wanted to use him to find a cure for Feixiao. I hoped to do that, with my death - that she would know what to do with him.
[ so it's really kind of just like. either the invasion doesn't happen and feixiao isn't cured, or all of it happens and jiaoqiu is blinded and half dead again, which he doesn't want to be. ]
[ i tried so hard to respond to this tag at 1AM yesterday and was like haha! i am GENIUS! and then ended up not sending it because in fact i am not a genius. ]
...I would suggest you return closer to my time, so that we might have more time to make arrangements. But I understand it might interrupt your progress with Feixiao's condition.
[ jiaoqiu would still have to make the journey to the luofu from the yaoqing, but they would still have their jade abaci for communications. he imagines he may have to loop fu xuan in as well—he can't imagine what sort of ripple effect their return might have on the matrix of prescience ultima. ]
Perhaps we can consult our higher being as well, to see what they have to say about the conditions of your return. [ save us jonas... jonas save us.
it's a very difficult decision to make, especially without full oversight of what had happened after jiaoqiu had died. it's not that the innocent lives lost in the invasion are worth any less than feixiao's, however she is also critical to the safety of so many more. there are difficult, but necessary calculations to be made. ]
no, that's a good idea, though. he hadn't even thought of returning much earlier. he's clearly thinking about it, trying to decide if it would destroy anything too thoroughly. he'd just have to be careful about what he said.
there's a grouchy emotion when he suggests they consult god, though. ]
I wish that I knew what happened after my death... but I would not be opposed to returning closer to your time. [ sigh. ] I will leave the talking to you, as for as the god goes.
I contacted him, a while ago, asking for options. I was angry to know that we would not be able to travel to other worlds, and he spoke to me as if I was throwing a tantrum and calling him names. A good leader would not resort to passive aggressive jabs such as well, you can go tell everybody I'm terrible, then when faced with real concerns.
[ it makes more sense now because gabe is like, twelve, but he doesn't know that at this point. he also does not ever quite forgive him for it but it's fine. ]
... Being told that I must wait to die to see the people I care for again upset me.
[ for someone who has such a tenuous grip on how much he wants to live at any time, it was. a lot. ]
I see. I do have to wonder who around here is in charge.
[ they find out in two days, but. he would get that sometimes you have expectations of someone, and when they leave a terrible impression at a terrible time, it's not something readily forgotten. ]
I'm sorry it was not a fruitful conversation. ...And I'm sorry you had to wait so long.
[ watching him spiral week after week hadn't been easy. even with the letters, it's just not the same. ]
I am well accustomed to waiting. [ it sucks to do, but he's used to it. ]
I don't need you to apologize. You did nothing wrong. [ ... ] I suppose I don't understand why you aren't more angry - but that is just like you.
[ not in a bad way, he just... trusts jing yuan to be a good leader, to be calm in the face of the worst of things. maybe it's a little hand hold out, like - if you're feeling poorly, he'd listen. ]
