Broadcast: If you like!
Action: The planet Lyuku, the Iskaulit, and anywhere else you want
When: Sept 1 to Sept 28

[After a rather short time adrift, the fleet is finally in range of another planet. Small, peaceful, and colorful, there is plenty to do and explore.

Maybe it's enough to forget that vague feeling of unease.

Or not.

Why don't you give me a demonstration?

[She settles in a chair and gives him a half-cocked grin.]
tallasaking: (Oh Really?)

[He smirked, before he solemnly offered out his hand for her.]

Your palm out, if you please.

[Because he is trusted, there's no hesitance; she stretches her flesh right hand towards him and lays her hand in his. She's not going to take what he says very seriously, though. At least that's not the intention.]

So, Tyrion the Knowing, what do you see?

[He gives her a solemn wink, as he looks at her palm.]

You are a woman who has had to live a hard life - who has had a lot taken from her. You are also someone who wants to give more than she has ever been given, and wants what is good in a world ... that is not. I see that you will learn how to breath between the hard moments, and you might even smile a little more, if only you remember these three simple worlds.

I. Am. Human.

[She wasn't sure what she was expecting, but not something so grounded and real. What faint humor there'd been on her face fades as Tyrion talks, until she's stone cold and walled off, a beat hanging after his last words before she pulls her hand from his and crosses her arms. Yeah, most of that he's probably gotten from their experiences over the past couple years, but there's a greater truth to it that touches on things Furiosa hasn't even considered about herself but hit close enough to worry her.]

You think I don't know I'm human?

[It's tentative, a little searching.]

[He folds his hands together, his gaze quiet, pressing his fingers against his lips. He wasn't sure if he should have said anything -- but if it helps her realize more about herself ... ]

Yes, I rather do.

[It works because it's him; he gets a look, a straight, serious look, but not one of contempt and hey; she's still sitting here. Worst case scenario she would have gotten up and walked away.]

What do you think I think I am?

I think ... you hold a great burden of guilt on your shoulders. For all that you should have done, or at least what you think you should have done. You think that makes you some sort of lesser person - 'a better person would have done more'. I believe you have it... sideways.

We are none of us ideal humans, but a real human is someone who still does something. Even if it is small. Mercy, compassion, that is what makes us human. If you have those, if you show those? [He lifted his hands to her again.] Well, you are a better human than most.

[She doesn't speak for a while, settling back in her seat and crossing her arms. She doesn't think she carries around a lot of guilt, but at his words the first thing she thinks of is watching the door give way and Angharad falling. She was too far, she couldn't reach her, she was helpless to stop it and that's plagued it.

And it's not the only thought that has.

Furiosa pulls in a breath and lets it out slowly.]


I'm not the saint you think I am.

[Mercy, compassion ... that didn't come easily; not to a wastelander who's top priority had been survival above all else. She had raided with the warboys, and the other Imperators, she'd shot more than her fair share of innocents. She hadn't wanted to take the wives. She had eventually learned compassion but it hadn't always been with her.]

[He lets out a sharp laugh at that, before he arches an eyebrow at her.]

Do you think I, of all people, would be able to put anyone up for sainthood? No, dear Captain, you shall simply have to settle for being a generally good person. Sorry.

[She watches him quietly, and then slowly relaxes. She's not smiling, really, but she's not wearing the earlier hard-edged Imperator expression she had been.]

I guess it takes some getting used to.
tallasaking: (Now isn't that interesting)

[personal profile] tallasaking 2017-09-30 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Well at least you'll have time to settle into it.

Apparently two years hasn't been enough.

[And, maybe twenty years wouldn't be.]
