34 [Zandali + Audio Translated]

[drinkuntilidie]

[Lately Kevas has found himself a calm spot in the keep. Maybe it's not where he wants to be, but he knows slamming his fists against the walls will do nothing but make them bleed. Instead, he's kept a large amount of his focus on his family, which is way this latest incident has pushed him to his breaking point.

Aht has just lost her leg because of this, and Kevas is livid.]

Every time something happens like this it's because we aren't told. We aren't told about the fucking dangers that sit right in front of us! We aren't told about the basic fucking facts about the place we're being kept!

[Kevas snarls and slams a nearby wall with his fist. Right now he's pacing the halls of the Great Keep because the last thing Aht needs is him raging over her.]

We weren't told about infected bitch when you knew! We weren't told about these dogs when you knew! How many times are we gonna be forced into contact with something that can kill us at a drop of the hat!? How many times does a fucking idiot have to something stupid before we're told even just a little about this god damn place!?

How many little mons have to injured or die before you care to tell us!?

[Kevas lets out one final roar of anger before pitching the journal at the wall. He's got nothing to do but hope Aht lives.]

Comments

[missmimmi]

Nein. Perhaps think of a way to better protect ourselves. Or get information out of the staff willingly.

[drinkuntilidie]

I'm done with that. Just like I'm done with watching my family get hurt and waiting for Deoir to fix whatever mess this is. I'm getting them out of here and somewhere safe.

[missmimmi]

People have tried that in the past. It will do more harm than good.

[Pessimistic? Maybe. But honestly even though all this shit is crazy and dangerous, her home was worse. So she's content to stay here.]

[drinkuntilidie]

That dog just tore off my little one's fucking leg! I don't see how letting her stay here is any better!

[Later he'll apologize for snapping but right now Kevas is pissed.]

[missmimmi]

[She's about to retort, but momentary distraction!]

Whose leg?

[drinkuntilidie]

Aht.

[His voice gets quiet.]

It tore off Aht's fucking leg!

[missmimmi]

Mein Gott.

[She feels mildly sick, and lots of horrified. Poor Aht.

But it doesn't change her opinion any.]

This place is not the only place a child can be mauled by an animal, Kevas.

At least the staff did not set it on her on purpose.

[She feels horrible for saying that, but it's true. And she's going to hug the fuck out of Aht later.]

[drinkuntilidie]

[Is she honestly sticking up for them?]

Maybe not, but it's a whole lot easier when they have a pack of monsters waiting in the building beside us.

[missmimmi]

[Oh, she's not. She just knows what it's like to see people in power set animals loose on defenseless people.]

Perhaps. But now we know it can be avoided. We will merely have to be even more cautious with everything.

...I am sorry, Kevas. How is Aht doing?

[drinkuntilidie]

[He drops it if only because he doesn't want to continue arguing with her and making himself angrier.]

Not well.

[missmimmi]

[good plan.]

I suppose I will have to visit her. Is there anything in particular that she likes, do you know?

[drinkuntilidie]

[Kevas goes silent for a few moments.]

She likes to dance.

[This really couldn't be more horrible.]

[missmimmi]

Besides... dancing.

Some kind of, ah, cake, perhaps?

[drinkuntilidie]

Yeah. Cake, just get her some cake.

[He's going to go check on her.]

[missmimmi]

Alright. Danke, Kevas.

[drinkuntilidie]

Don't thank me. Please don't thank me.

[He didn't save Aht in time. This is as much his fault as it is theirs.]
