There are plenty of missions that return to the castle a success - most of them, even. The defeated air of the solemn group that returns from their diplomatic mission to Andres Isle to hear the demands of dictator Dimitris Sarandis makes it quite clear that this wasn't one of those.

Starting with Sarandis' actual demands - for all Knights to withdraw from Andres under penalty of death, or for Wynn to offer his own head in return for Thomas' safe return - and ending with the unexpected, disturbing confession from Kat that she intended to stay behind on the island because she had "fallen in love with" the dictator, the events of the island made it very clear that Sarandis was cannily playing his hand to get the Knights where he wanted them.

Fred Jr. shoves open the doors with his unnatural strength, stalking in ahead of the group into the lobby. Whoever's on desk duty isn't going to have to roll a high wisdom check to see that these people are pissed... and distraught... and a myriad of other emotions on the bad end of the scale.

*I am changing the date of the briefing log and Andres log/live session to have taken place in September, to avoid us being in backdated hell forever, and to allow for a September squiring ceremony before apps are closed. Carry on... in the future!

You never could be. [he's not going to tell her not to, bc it's not like there aren't a bunch of other squires her age or younger rallying to the cause. he'll just be dad-concerned quietly in his not-dad way. best legal guardian ever.]

Yes, I could. [ let's be honest here. not only could abigail be just like her dad because she's genetically predisposed to it, but she's been basically trained to be a tiny little murderer. nature and nurture. ] But my dad taught me to hunt and Hannibal taught me how to cut up a body. Knowing how to dissect someone means I know how to put them back together again. That's what I want to do. [ heal instead of hurt. ]

I don't know. Maybe not forever. But I know I can now.

I think that we should help, if we can. And if that's what you think you're best suited for, that's what you should do. ... I'm proud of you, Abigail.

[ the last person who had told her he was proud of her was a serial killer. he'd made her kill, murdered the tenuous hope of family right in from of her, tried to kill her...

it's not very surprising then that hearing it from will makes it mean that much more. already drowning in stress and fear, it's nearly impossible to push back the relief that will isn't ashamed of her, his little broken bird of a ward. it was only half irrational; he'd thought she wasn't going, she wouldn't have put shame past him. but the wave of relief comes with another swell of tears, ones she manages only to swallow back enough that they don't fall.

it takes her a moment, but eventually, quietly, she corrects him. ]
Proud of us.

Me? You're proud of me? [he sounds ... somewhere between amused and confused.] What did I do?

You didn't have to think about it.

Some thought may have been involved.

You know what I mean. [ don't be a nitpicker, graham. abigail had to sleep on it. and she's still not entirely sure. ] Do you want to... Would you go with me? To the council.

[personal profile] mydesigns 2014-09-17 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's a requirement to go to the council, if you're going. [he's doing the nitpicker thing again. he's the worst.] But yes, I'll go with you.
lurings: (✃ meh)

[personal profile] lurings 2014-09-17 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ OH MY GOD WILL GRAHAM. ] Thank you. [ butthead. ]
