Who: Robin!
Broadcast: Video!
Action: Not unless it gets weird!
When: About a day after his supposed murder.

[the feed crackles on to show Robin, looking very much alive and in a shirt that doesn't have a big hole in it, thank you. he's crouched somewhere on one of those Floot Loop stations, probably. he's got his back to one of those big LED displays, which means... unless you want to check every single bright, animated ad in every station within range, he's going to be kind of tricky to find.

he... waves, though he doesn't look like he's very happy to see you either, to be honest.]

Hello. I'm not dead, since I assume that rumor has spread far and wide by now.

And I would love to have a calm, rational conversation about all of this before someone tries to kill me again. What have I missed? Catch me up.

[it's the "and moving on" part that he's never been very good at. he is frequently paralized by the fear of fucking up. he cares too much, probably. things were easier when he didn't care about anything at all. he hasn't wanted to go back to that for a long time. but he is still here, still listening, running his fingers over his mouth while the idea runs likewise through his mind.]

...Okay. I'll do it. Tega. [the thought of it finally gets him to pinch the bridge of his nose, irritated.] Whenever, just... not today.

Seriously? This isn't something you can just put off. Was all of that you just said a bunch of hot air or what? You know everyone can see this, but you're still acting like a kid getting his toy taken away.

[Varric's eyes narrow, and he leans into the feed a bit. If he lets Robin walk away now, there's no guarantee Nel will be free. And there's no guarantee Fenris won't just kill Robin again.]

We can send someone to get Nel right now. We have protective magic and weapons, and people who actually give a damn about his well-being. We can make sure you're in pieces before you even think about setting foot on the same ship again. Of course, I'd rather not put the boy through any more than you already have by getting yourself killed... but it's up to you.

Oh yes. "Whenever, just not today". I've never heard that one before.

[He gives a glance at Varric's feed before his eyes return to Robin. He'll actually be less threatening than the other guy.]

You have to understand, we don't have much reason to take you on good faith. Hell, only reason I'm willing to believe anything you've said so far is because Riku was good enough to vouch for you. Damn good kid, that one is.

[Fuck up that kid's trust in you and we're gonna have problems mister]

[he glares at him over his hand. "kid getting his toy taken away" is not a strong enough description. but is fades a little as the seconds pass, and he looks back down.]

Not today. Tomorrow.

[Not sure if backpedaling or if he just resisted that. Either way, Varric is kind of amused that the only reason anyone is tolerating Robin's bullshit is because of someone else.]

I'll hold you to that. I can't say for sure if you'll be around to procrastinate on it a second time.

[He gives a simple nod along with Varric's vague threat. He is rather curious if what they say would happen if you shove something out an airlock actually would...]
