[ Not very long at all! G'raha is punctual and he doesn't dillydally, showing up shortly after Blade arrives.

He looks much more... composed now, it seems. ]


Are you feeling all right?

[ It's the first thing that leaves his mouth, because it's his first concern above everything else. G'raha does consider them to be friends, whether Blade would admit to it or not. ]

I will not lie and say that I am not.

[ He very much is, and he'd readily blame his scholarly side on that. What is more fascinating than the unknown, especially after grasping bits and pieces of it and nothing more? ]

Surely there is more to the story than what I overheard.

Which is how people lost their lives. You said one of your actions was the catalyst.

[ Which has left him curious too, but G'raha knows that he should only take his curiosity so far. It doesn't seem to do Blade much good, not when he takes his own name so literally. ]

[ It certainly does feel disjointed, in such a way that feels... off in a way that he can't quite pinpoint.

There's something strange about Blade and his instincts tell him that it might start here, with that incident and the forbidden technique. ]


A forbidden technique. Why did you feel the need to perform it?

[ He tilts his head, eyebrows furrowing. ]

You seem to have a rather… troublesome time recalling these events.

[ If it’s traumatic, that makes sense. But that smile tells G’raha that it’s a little bit more than that—or a much deeper scar than it seems on the surface. ]

Is it just that particular incident you have difficulty recalling?

[ How far does this extend? It sounds like it may be the full extent of Blade's memory, but he wants to make sure. ]

You have my sympathies. That must be difficult to manage, even on the best of days.

[ And knowing that Blade is long-lived... does he not recall his own childhood? ]

Even your memories of waking up in this mansion. Is that a vague impression as well?

[ He wants to know—does it extend to recent memories too? ]

Should I be delighted that my own fumbling made such an impression that it remains with you now?

[ Honestly, he doesn't know! It's a little bit embarrassing to think about. ]

[ And somehow? That’s worse than saying anything at all. ]

You are not supposed to be amused by it!

[personal profile] allrounder 2025-03-16 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ DEEP SIGH!! ]

Well... I suppose I would much rather see you amused than angry or upset.

[ He frowns, though it's not that serious. ]

Even if it happens to be at the cost of my dignity.

To think you seem so incredibly stoic and without humor…

[ His frown quickly transforms into a little smile, and he has half a mind to elbow Blade in the side. ]

You’re a tad mischievous.

[personal profile] allrounder 2025-03-17 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, he’s absolutely not. ]

What, pray tell, are these circumstances? Your overall mood is certainly not like it was when we played cards.
