Who: Ilde Decima and Hasi; OPEN
What: The water helps her.
Where: The Gross Tar; initially near her waterfall territory in Raven's Gate, after that various areas.
When: Givdi with Hasi; open after that through Shundi.
Notes: Specify time/place (if not Raven's Gate) if you tag in, please!
Warnings: Descriptions of LM:A-related horrors to follow in the thread with Hasi; discussion of rape & related fall out in thread with Jae.

When she finally goes down to the water, it feels so good that she hates herself for a moment sliding in, her clothes on the bank under an illusion. It soaks into her skin like she belongs there and she's glad that she got there first, that Hasi isn't there yet, because sinking into it hurts a little and it's-- not anybody's business what internal conflicts she's having. She just died. She's allowed to feel...whatever this is that she's feeling, and whatever it is she's going to feel it at the bottom of the river for a while, her tail catching light as it flicks up before she dives.

She'll surface, eventually.

He listens, quietly and intently, but this turn of the conversation leaves him feeling more out of his depth than anything he's had to contemplate since his arrival. He knows - has had to have known - that there are forces that move the world beyond his control or understanding, but as long as he was never really a part of the world, any concerns he had were only ever abstract ones.

"Strategy." He repeats, although it's evident from his expression that he's slightly lost in this part of the conversation, "Like... trying to control the city? Or going into war?"
