... Yeah. He really was.

[ her expression turns heavy. ]

... It was my fault. I knew what was going to happen if I brought him there...

[murdergate]

Who were those people they had trapped?

[ cannot imagine anise would do anything to betray someone she cared for without quite the motivation. ]

[sexyasmieu]

... My parents.

Mohs took them hostage, to make sure I wouldn't betray him.

[murdergate]

[ nodd guessed as much, but wanted the confirmation. ]

It looked like Ion didn't hold it against you in the end.

[sexyasmieu]

[ ... she nods. but since we also have emotionshare, he can feel a pang of guilt at that. ]

Yeah... even though he had every reason to. I was working with Mohs from the start. I was always lying to him...

[murdergate]

[ guilt is familiar to nodd. easy for him to accept as due payment for the gift of being alive. ]

You had your reasons.

[ sympathy and condolences are not within nodd's limited wheelhouse. but he holds out a hand for a squeeze if wanted ]

[sexyasmieu]

That didn't make it right.

[ ... she'll take the hand, though. ]

I don't know if anything can make it right...

[murdergate]

No, it wasn't right, but it wasn't damning, either. It's complicated and given Ion's farewell, I'd bet a good amount he'd want you to be happy.

[ small squeeze ]

In penance. Happy penance.

[sexyasmieu]

[ she's quiet for a little bit...

and then there's a little sound like pfft. she looks up with a smile. ]

Yeah... something like that. I'll try not to let him down.
