[frustrated!! tail swishes!! she puts a hand on top of his head. just like. donk. grabbed.]
Yeah, and they're missing what the rest of us can do to destroy the Absolute. It isn't the only option, and you don't deserve to die because of a mistake. End of.
Besides. You're a good person. People like you. 'Course they don't care about the rest.
[ gods he wishes he could do magic right now. it really is the best way he knows how to communicate, how to relate to people. cooling her down with an incantation instead of words that never feel quite enough. ]
... You know if I am to refuse to accept my death, I want the same promise from you.
I ... had a conversation with Astarion. I get the feeling my monster match does not wish to be found. If we are closer to the end of this, and we are both unmatched - and perhaps by some chance of fate available to do so, we should consider partnering. It wouldn't be a bad idea.
[ a lot of factors would have to work out, but. ]
Would it make you feel better if I were to discuss with Famine the details of this solution he has in mind?
I've got no idea if mine wants to be found. I've a hint, but it hasn't helped me so far.
[a pause.]
But I'd be alright with matching with you, if... it comes to that. [because she trusts him, and because - if it's their last resort, they're both ticking time bombs.
she rubs absently at her engine.]
If you want to talk to Famine, sure. Might be nice to get a second set of eyes on it.

[angrily!!!]
We'll solve it. We were going to, where I was. [...] I've just got to figure out how to get you somewhere. I suppose we could have two Gales.
Well, no. Actually. Bad idea.
no subject
No, I can't imagine that going particularly well.
[ or maybe too well? ]
I have solutions on the mind, Karlach. Believe me.
no subject
[a little sigh.] I trust you.
Doesn't stop me from wanting to kick Mystra's ass, though.
no subject
I suppose I keep being ... surprised by this opinion from other people.
[ its hardly just karlach. ]
no subject
[she's like, exasperated.]
You're surprised that people don't like it that she told you to blow yourself up?
no subject
Both my mistake, and what defeating the Absolute means.

well he objects a little you're messing up his hair but fine. karlach is afforded some generosity. ]
I don't know about good person. I do try. I think it very much depends on the day how much success I am having.

You try, and that's better than some. You'll always be better than some people I could mention.

makes her pause. because she doesn't quite know if she can promise, even though she knows she should. silence, for a moment.]
Famine offered this thing to me. They've got a thing where they can put you in a whole new body.
no subject
And what do you think of that?
no subject
[she folds her arms.]
I don't like it. [she knows how childish that sounds, but.] I don't - want something new, I want this.
no subject
For now we have your heart. Your original heart, preserved. Perhaps there is something to be done with that.
no subject
... I'm thinking about the monster trade thing. I haven't found mine yet.
[but she's been thinking about it really hard.]
I thought about trying to crawl into the swamp with it. My original heart. But it wouldn't be that easy.

Yeah. I've got no idea who it could be, though. Famine laughed when he told me, if you can believe it.
