I won't watch this city fall to the undead.

[downswing]

The dead live here. The city has already fallen.

[bearshermark]

They don't yet rule it.

[downswing]

That we know.

[bearshermark]

We can't let that happen.

[downswing]

We could not let a dragon be conquered.


( And yet. )

[bearshermark]

The dragon is free now.

[Or.. so he's heard]

[downswing]

We allowed its capture.

[bearshermark]

No accounting for political idiocy. We've done what we can.

[downswing]

Is this how you soothe yourself?

Disappointing.

[bearshermark]

We amended the wrong. Do you accept blame for decisions you had no hand in?

[downswing]

To not intercede against wrongdoing is to be complicit.

I accept. I wear that shame. I wear its cries, its hurts.

a bit (and one mild existential crisis) later

[bearshermark]

You're right. I can't do that. But I'm glad you can.
