yeah i was on a solo mission that went really wrong i got a broken leg and couldn't make it back to base i didn't want to tell my mentor and the one guy that's supposed to heal us was an asshole because he didn't feel like coming out to help me so i texted saber told him where i was he drove all the way to help me healed me on the spot, too
[ She can't lie. For Shadowheart's sake, she can't even say in a fucked up way, maybe. Sometimes doing the right thing just happens to coincide with his interests, that's all. Most of the time it doesn't, and he could just as easily have left her to rot out there. ]
i don't think he knows how. i don't think he's ever felt the need to try.
but you can't call him that again i don't know if he explained the rules from back home using our real names is really fucking bad for us we have to use the ones raíz gave us
raíz is our boss she's a being that's beyond our world maybe beyond any world and she chose some of us to work for her in exchange for a wish
she has a bunch of rules we have to follow one of them is using the names she gives us we're always named after animals cellar spider, saber tooth, devon rex, neon tetra we're all from the same place
she's powerful enough that she could show up here and leave if she wanted to
[ Shadowheart hears the parallels with the Cloister, with Shar in some of what Cellar's saying. Wonders if Raíz would be to them as the gods are on Faerûn.
She sends the question before considering how much Cellar has already given her, when she's no doubt grieving, when Shadowheart isn't certain she'd share this much with someone she hardly knows--and a few months ago, she knows she wouldn't have. ]

he’s capable of caring for people?
[ And then, considering, ]
I called him Henry, once. After that month when we were—our other selves.
I think he wanted to kill me for it.

[ More for Cellar's sake than Saber's. ]
He's never really told me anything about himself, or his past. All I have are the places we bled together last month, through the bond.
Who's Raíz?

What was your wish?
no subject
i don't remember
none of us do
once we sign the blood pact she makes us forget that, too
here's to hoping it was worth it, right?
