Who: Nehan and Diluc
What: Chatting about those they have lost, and Diluc's impending beasthood.
When: Early April
Where: Their usual field for training and punching each others' lights out.
Content Warnings: Beasthood talk, loss, an offer for mercykilling. Others TBA.
[the look on diluc's face is all nehan needs to know about how he feels, then the erune sighs, and sits down on the fallen log he's been favoring as a seat every time they have a meeting out here, then pats the spot next to him for diluc to sit as well. his omen, zuo, flops down underneath nehan's feet like a large, warm footstool for the erune.]
You're still feeling the weight of losing Flynn and Yuri, aren't you?
It's all right to take a break every once in a while. [even if that's not nehan's philosophy. he prefers to work, because there's very rarely a time that he actually has emotions or deep, painful thoughts to get in the way of anything. that's... that's a recent addition to his repertoire, but he could pause in his spiraling to have his student lean on him.]

Yes, but none of the texts say that the corruption effects indicate exactly what someone becomes as a beast. It could be something different. That is why I’m not sure. It is highly likely I will be an owl. But, we’ll see.
no subject
after all, while he's weak to dark, the dark is weak to him in turn.]
Oh, yes, ignore me, who knows birds and has already become a beast. [grumble, grumble.]
no subject
…and I once took up a tool of darkness. The shadows were a prelude to dark flames. I don’t know how much of it still exists as scars on my soul.
no subject
You could be a thespian, with the amount of drama you're putting on right now. Dark flames... really. [but it's not like he isn't listening and incapable of reading between the lines. diluc's just revealed a good deal about himself right then, and the erune just knows that it's related to the block on him that they had to clear a while ago.
nehan reaches for diluc's feathers again, hands glowing with light magic, and his touch may just sting like antiseptic on open wounds when he rummages through the human's feathers. but nehan is feeling the same thing, they're even.]
no subject
But hidden in the depths of that darkness in every feather is a flame that burns hot and bright. As if one might indeed hide the other. The shape of the other feather hidden within is more like an eagle’s feather.]
no subject
and then he starts to tug it out.]
This is a different one--
no subject
But the feather does come free with a bit of blood. Diluc claps his hand over the spot to keep the blue blood at bay.]
no subject
so instead, he plucks a vial from his belt and uncorks it with his teeth.]
Move your hand, I have a healing potion. Your damn darkness attribute, I swear... [his hands sting, thank you very much.]
no subject
no subject
[a pause to check the wound, and then he empties the whole vial.]
no subject
I feel it like poison in a wound. Any trying to grasp it is like holding smoke.
no subject
[still, nehan keeps it in mind, but the potion is working-- good thing potions have no elemental affinity.]
I'll hold onto this feather as long as I can stand it. When I'm done studying it, I'll either send it back to you, or burn it out in the forest.
[(but he'll certainly be getting rid of it before he moves in with venti--)]
no subject
[He sighs as he starts to get up. He still feels awful. All the things that occurred. He adds quietly,]
Again, thank you. It eases my heart to know I will taken care of should I lose this battle.
no subject
[time that none of them have, because nehan is going to have to cram in years of training in just a few months. perhaps weeks, even. or worse, days. especially with his leg and arm... he can go a few sleepless days, perhaps.]
Just... go find some Warmblood to ask help from, buy as much time as you can.
no subject
[Diluc says as he lifts his arm and Dellingr appears. The dragon settles with a soft sigh as the Lord Ragvindr continues to walk away.] But, I will ask for help from others. The more time bought, the better.
