No, no, no. Beleth was pretty mad, I think she'd want to do it herself. You know, she's been dealing with a lot of stress lately.
[So, it's a good outlet for her to take it out on people who've earned it.]
Besides, what are all these fancy Inquisition assassins she's got on payroll for, if not this? It's all well in hand. Even if you called Merrick right now, he'd be lucky to arrive in time to have anything to do.
That's true. And if we needed him, Beleth probably knows how to contact him too.
[He sighs, letting out a breath he wasn't even aware he was holding in.]
And no side effects from the poison? Any lasting damage?
[He can remember what it was like when Merrick had been poisoned and how terrifying the whole thing had been. He can't imagine Sorrel going through something like that.]
I'm still sleeping a lot, and I get dizzy if I move around too quickly. Of course, it helps that there's someone hanging around and bringing me tea and snacks and things, whenever I need them.
[Spoiler: It's Adasse.]
But Bel' said I should be fine; if it goes on too long, we'll ask one of the Healers to have a look, though, don't worry.
[Sorrel is quiet for a while. He hasn't put the crystal away, and his end of the conversation is little more than ambient sound, blankets, breathing, enough that Cyril can't mistake it for being forgotten, only for what it is; silence. A thinking silence.]
I love you too, lethallin. I'll see you later, then. Try not to worry too much; I really am alright.

[He doesn't even know what he's supposed to feel, let alone what he actually feels, anymore.]
Are you angry?

Date: 2018-01-31 05:17 am (UTC)Right now, I'm more worried about you than anything.
I am mad that the people who hurt you. I'd be mad at anyone who hurt you. I hope Beleth makes them pay.
