tw murder mention

[colchismagecraft]

Mm...the first time was with a Master from my world- Kadoc- we got along well. I was intrigued to see what a pact between us would feel like, so I didn't have any objections to that arrangement. He knows how to treat a Servant well, and used the 'pact' to let me show off my magic.

[A pause, before she shivered.]

...Then there was Yuber. He wasn't so willing to relinquish his newfound power.

Did you ever see that broadcast where he murdered people over the network? He has a taste for bloodshed.

['It wasn't you'

Maybe she should take his word, this time around?]

[morganknight]

[His response is subtle, a tensing of every muscle in his body.]

I missed that. As you can tell by the fact that I haven't stopped him. I see why you advise avoiding him.

[colchismagecraft]

...Don't go after him, Morgan.

[She saw that response.]

[morganknight]

I'm not charging off into the distance, you note.

[Hopefully she'll accept that and not notice how it isn't actually a comment.]

[colchismagecraft]

I meant after tonight.

[A brittle crack in her voice- her emotions already frayed.]

[morganknight]

Don't worry. I don't think that would go well for me.

[Mostly because he'd be likely to get imprisoned or something.]

[colchismagecraft]

Good- because I don't want to suddenly find out you're dead after stupid assertions like that-!!

['I don't want to lose you, too'.

'I can't deal with you getting killed'.]

If you do that to me I will curse you do you understand me-!

[A panicked desperation- it had only been a couple of days since finding out the fate of her precious Souichirou-sama, another loss of someone she cared dearly for was the last thing she could manage.

...Not that she'd tell him that detail tonight. She didn't have the strength to explain what happened just yet.]

[morganknight]

[Chuckling, Morgan leans over to sling an arm around Caster's shoulder's and tug her in close.]

I'm not going to say I'm invincible, or I'll never die. But I'm honestly very good about staying alive. Better than you'd think.

[colchismagecraft]

[Caster bristled a little at the hug, but then put the cloak to one side and leant into his shoulder.]

...good.

[morganknight]

It took me a while to learn it, so be glad you're running into me now. Of course, you would have hated younger me, so it wouldn't have been an issue.

[colchismagecraft]

...Back when you were 'a prong', in your terms?

[morganknight]

Yep, exactly. Had a person or two try to kill me back then out of sheer annoyance. Or get me to kill myself. But no one here has that desire, as far as I know, despite what a horrible person I am!

[colchismagecraft]

You are awful.

[Not that she wanted to move anytime soon.]

...But I'm sure you can work out what happened, all the same

[morganknight]

I get the gist, yeah. And here I got stuck with a bunch of people who wouldn't do a damn thing with those bracelets, even when I told them it was okay and to go for it.

[colchismagecraft]

...You said something like that to them? That's- that's unbelievably reckless.

[morganknight]

Not if they're people who are being ridiculously leery of the things in the first place. It's like asking someone who's afraid of fire to light a barbeque, except I couldn't even get a match out of them.

[colchismagecraft]

Then you got lucky... Kadoc was good to me, but Yuber was something else.

[Not that she wanted to elaborate on what happened.]

[morganknight]

I had a hunch.

[That's why he's out here, after all, instead of keeping this to text.]

Wanna get something to eat? You might feel better.

[colchismagecraft]

...I probably should eat something.

Yes... Can we?

[morganknight]

Yeah, of course! Didn't I just offer? [He nudges her slightly, with a grin.] Your pick.
