sometime after their big messy fight

[judgmentbolts]

How's the apology coming along?

[obscuris]

Looking to reprise your role as my Lord Commander?

[judgmentbolts]

If I wanted someone to use me I'd seek more fulfilling employment at a brothel.

Just wondering when we'll see each other in Nocwich again. It seems I've missed you — in the literal sense.

is this cid's version of a bootycall

Are the memories so distant now? How at ease you found yourself when your will was an extension of my own? It would be a simple matter to rekindle those days, Cidolfus.

what dunk dialing his ex at 2am? he's doing great don't worry about it

[judgmentbolts]

Rekindle them? They're ash, just like the dream we shared.

I let you manipulate me, and poor Bena, and everyone who was ever foolish enough to believe you, and all you have to say for yourself is that you'd gladly do it again given half the chance.

You told me once that you wanted to save the people of Waloed, and I come to find out that instead you've drowned the bloody continent in aether — and for what? What promise was so compelling? You've given all to him, haven't you? Where is your god now?

[obscuris]

I suppose whiling away the days in hiding until it is your time to lay down and die would have been your preference instead.

You know, Cidolfus, at some point you will have to reckon with the fact that none of this was about you at all.

[judgmentbolts]

At least I died on my own terms, fighting for something I believed in. I've no regrets. Can you say the same? Truly?

Small wonder you could still lift your sword without Ultima telling you which end was the pointy one.

don't mind him, he's just gonna ignore every comment about ultima

[obscuris]

"I've no regrets."

And yet here you are.

[judgmentbolts]

You think that I wanted to be here?

[obscuris]

That you were reborn into this world was not your choice, but every step thus taken has led you to this moment. Here. Me. You ran away, Cidolfus, so why are you here?

[judgmentbolts]

I did run, aye. But I know better now — I know it's not enough. Someone's got to keep you in check.

[obscuris]

Ah. Then I welcome your efforts.
