[the way it is only ooc tuesday and cheek kiss already feels like it happened a thousand years ago... also, lmk if you have any prefs/cws for a return mem? :thinking:
once the memory ends, mizu turns to him with a questioning look.]
for all the conversations that could have played, this one's not so bad. the concept of shaking who he is, the idea of breaking out of the chains that held him - talking to hope, who he has not seen in some time.
his plan to escape... right. he huffs, a little. ]
Sort of. I did lose my guards, mostly on purpose, and...well, I ran into some trouble nearly immediately... [ it's fine, ] But, luckily, I managed to connect with the people who were to meet me before things got too dire.
I spent a week away. [ away from his cage. fondness flickers across his face, there and gone. ] It was the best week of my life.
[ yeah sometimes you're like rapunzel but also quasimodo :D ]
...No.
I left with permission, technically - though I did slip my guards, I asked Lady Caris to allow me to visit a historical ruin near Convallaria Town. Since the people I was to initially meet were her allies, I assumed she would not send anyone else after me. My dear friends of that mercenary group welcomed me wholeheartedly, but... at the end of that week, she sent someone else to recover me after an assassination attempt, claiming it too dangerous for me to be out, and thus, I returned to my cage.
[ the information is delivered with a small smile - soft, sad in the eyes, but no less true. ]
I died a few weeks later in the palace, after a series of unfortunate events involving rebels that broke in while Lady Caris was away.
I see. [this is a bit worse, actually.] A shame that it was so short-lived.
[it looks like mizu might be about to say something else, but — hm? what's this? there's something new on the mirrors... content warning for severed limbs and disembowelment.
i was going to wait a bit more before yeeting this but actually, it's relevant now.]

anyway mizu gets to see this in the void. a conversation with a bird on the shackles of fate, identity, and what it means to be in a cage. ]
