hi im cole im the pilot on pathstone im a spirit of compassion if we met im sorry i dont remember people easily unless i can actually see them and hear them text is difficult for me we have a garden on the pathstone jove is kind and nurturing to them and crowley throws them out the airlock if they dont grow to his standards

[ she swaps the communication immediately to video, smiling in soft apology at him.

first things first: ]

Is this easier for you?

[killedwithlove]

[Cole appears after a brief moment, face too close to the screen, probably from writing.

He pulls back and gives a slight smile.]

Yes, it is, thank you. I find written things difficult.

[thebarkside]

That's just how I'm used to talking to people.

[ sheepish isn't exactly the word for what she is, but it's close. ]

But you can always use video with me if you see me texting, okay?

[killedwithlove]

I don't always check the writings on here. It's... words without meaning. Meanings on meanings with too few words.

[He rubs his face.]

Hi.

[thebarkside]

[ that doesn't really make a lot of sense to her - she's lived most of her life building friendships on nothing but written word - but there's no point in contradicting him. just because it's her truth doesn't mean it has to be his, too. ]

Hi. I'll start over, then. [ she smiles at him, soft and earnest. ] I'm Jade, I live on the Wonderduck. I'm a pilot.

[killedwithlove]

[Sorry Jade, welcome to conversation with Cole.]

I'm Cole, I'm the pilot of the Pathstone, but in Thedas, Cadash says I'm an assassin. I don't like hurting people, but sometimes they have to be stopped.

[thebarkside]

[ pshh, he's fine.

well, mostly. that last remark takes her by surprise.]

Uhh. Stopped when- doing what?

[ because that can be awfully ambiguous. ]

[killedwithlove]

Hurting people.

[He looks somewhere else intently.]

Just animals, just demons, show them their place, better than them, I won't be shackled, I like when they cry, Tranquil don't say no.

[The last is said in an accent and voice unlike his own and he looks back to the screen.]

If they won't stop themselves, someone has to stop them. I make it quick. Clean. I don't want anyone to suffer. Even the men who killed me.

[thebarkside]

[ okay, well. that might be the most jarring thing that's happened to her here, and it takes jade a moment to regain her bearings, to figure out how to proceed from that. ]

Have you- had to stop anyone on the Fleet yet?

[killedwithlove]

No. Most of the people here are nice and even if they aren't, they don't hurt people just to hurt them.
