Mirtul 18 1370 dr

Who: Syeira and YOU
Broadcast: Nope
Action: Varric's bar on the Iskaulit mostly
When: Directly after the shuffle.



She has been checking on the roster listing nearly compulsively lately. Things have just been rough for her. Losses upon losses. Regaining Anders, only for her friend to not know her. It piles up on top of everything else.

Everything else being Sam falling into a sleep only to wake and nearly do something horrible to Cas. And she got to take a lovely swim in Sam's blood for that, a delightful bonus to her kill deprived self. And then Sam is hurt, again, on her watch. Cas fell into a sleep immediately after. She's been ill from the planet nearly all the time. Coil had a melt down. Arthur turned into a tiny teenager. And of course, Robin revealed to her she not only had a Calibration, but when he was in it, he saw her murder her own mother.

She had asked Robin not to shut her out again. That was the mistake. She'd admitted her fragility out loud where Atroma could over hear it. She'd told him she couldn't stand to lose any more friends. And now he's just gone. Removed, like so many others. And she quite simply cannot take one more bit of horrible without doing something about it. But there's nothing to fight. She's not going to trash her room. The thing that's left is rather obvious.

She goes to the Iskaulit, to the tavern that feels like one from home. She has a small pouch full of credits. She managed to pull out enough that the pouch weighs at least five pound. There's a hefty amount of money in it. This she takes directly to whoever is tending the bar, places it purposefully down on the counter, and gives them a dead serious, almost empty look.

"I would like to drink, until I physically cannot anymore, or the money runs out. Whichever comes first." And by the look of things, the money won't be what runs out first. "If it's the former, please feel free to keep whatever is left over for your troubles." Because she imagines it will be annoying to shove her out into the hall when she's fall down drunk.

And with that, she will start drinking. There's dedication in it, because she wants to obliterate everything in her head. Blot it all out until all that's left is alcohol poisoning.

[ooc: Feel free to tag her at any time during this. And please note, she did not notice Zhas has returned to the fleet, and I request that no one tells her. Thank you!]

Like the sea that holds his heart, Maglor accepts her fury, letting her spend her rage on him, the tempest sinking into the deeps, his voice staying calm. But beneath the calm is all the unyielding steel of his family.

"Then I turn your own words back to you, Syeira, and truly I say to you, no monster would have reached out to comfort those who grieve, nor mourn actions that brought grief to others. You are no monster, Syeira, no matter your blood - for if you were, you would not fight so hard against it."

Wryly he adds as she goes to stand. "Also you may not want to storm off when you are wobbling like that, as I assume you do not wish to be carried."

"If you did not know it, I can hardly see how you could have known it." Maglor points out logically, as calm and unruffled as a lake - he is used to brothers with tempers - and she needs this. He makes for a good scapegoat, he knows, the stranger she does not know well. Better she purges the poison this way on one who can take it.

"Blood is not all of you, Syeira. It sets your beginning - but only you can determine what to do with it. And all I see, even now, is one trying desperately to escape. No monster does that, Syeira. A monster would only embrace it."

"I will not." He says quietly, "For I can see how you are hurting."
