I'll Tell You My Sins, You Can Sharpen Your Knife

"...no reason to hide.

You have friends and protectors here. We will not let this happen."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 3:14 pm

Miranda actually raised her hand to rest it on the Champion's hand. "You may not be able to stop it. I'm not supposed to exist, at least not the way I am. I was created to be a weapon."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 3:57 pm

"That is Black Air's will. That is not yours."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 4:49 pm

She sighed, "I don't even know what I should will for anymore. I don't have a past to inform my future."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 5:01 pm

"You build your past, step by step."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 5:03 pm

She stared at the scene in silence for a bit. Then she said quietly, "I'm sorry."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 5:28 pm

"For?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 5:44 pm

"I gave you crap you didn't deserve. The fact that I was afraid doesn't excuse it. I was wrong."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 12:10 am

"I'm fairly sure I deserve most of the crap that has come my way. You have no need to apologize."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 11:23 am

"Ever self-effacing," she said with a smile. "I questioned the validity of your service to my mother out of fear of the expectations that such service laid on me. That was foolishness. So let me at least apologize for being a fool."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:23 pm

"If you feel you must," he nodded. "Then I accept."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:29 pm

"Thank you," she said, standing. "We should get you back to your proper place. This place is no place for anyone."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:31 pm

"Alright. I'm afraid I do not know the way."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:41 pm

"I know the way," she said, gesturing to the stairs.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:54 pm

"Lead on," The Champion nodded, following.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 4:15 pm

As they ascended the stairs, a rumble sounded behind them and the Astral wind once again blew up the stairwell. Miranda didn't seem concerned though and just kept moving.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 4:36 pm

"We're OK here, then?" The Champion said, concerned.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 4:46 pm

"The construct will collapse behind us. It isn't the sort of thing one should leave lying around. That's why the Seer was guarding it herself. We should be perfectly safe. Well, as safe as anyone ever is in the Astral." Miranda's avatar seemed to be in a state of flux, none of the parts looking particularly stable at the moment. The emerged from the damaged vault door, the passageway vanishing behind them.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 4:54 pm

"I see," The Champion said.

He didn't, but he followed along anyway.

"ANd you will be alright?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 4:58 pm

"Eventually," she said. She looked back at the now vanished passageway. "That is still in my future down some road. And I don't know the choices that lead to it, so I don't know the choices that avoid it. It continues to lurk, but I can't let it control."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:08 pm

"And should you find yourself on that path, you know you have allies you can depend on."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:26 pm

"I'll keep that in mind," she said, leading him back in the direction of his own mind. "Thank you again. You didn't have to come."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:30 pm

"You can always count on your mother's champion."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:50 pm

"I will keep that in mind," she said, stopping at the border crossing into Will's mind. "I trust you can find your own way from here?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 6:02 pm

"I can smell the feast from here. You are always welcome to join."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 6:10 pm

Miranda looks like she's about to politely decline, but then she stops, "If you'll have me, I'd be happy to join."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 6:17 pm

"Come in, then, and enjoy yourself," the Champion nodded.
