[Elena doesn't know what she's doing, but her feet seem to be moving of their own accord.

This is her problem, and she can't help but feel as if she's the root cause for it all. Too many people's happiness, people that she loves, is at stake. She needs to fix this, however she can, and there are only a couple of ways to do it.

But first, she has questions. And she might only be able to get them from one person unless the tries scouring the minds of the other knights of the order.

And she's not sure she's ready to go that far. Or maybe, she just doesn't want to hear. What they say out loud is bad enough, sometimes.

So pretty soon, she's outside the door to Wynn's office, knocking lightly on the door. Wynn has always been an intimidating presence for her, and today is certainly going to be no exception.

Why don't you define 'our' for me?

[Because if it involves Dimitris, fuck no. If it's, say, Nadia?

Maybe.]

[narcosynthesis]

Myself, and Malaak'a, of course.

Who else do you think has that power?

[notaroundme]

Of course.

[No sarcasm there, nope. :|]

Oh, I'm sure there's someone who's strong enough. There's always another way. Going with the evil nightmare god and the guy who's tried to kill us option isn't exactly very tempting.

[narcosynthesis]

As I recall, you were the ones who came to kill me. Did you expect me to sit back and allow you to?

[notaroundme]

Oh don't try and play the innocent card on me. I saw what you did to Myri in the recording studio, the kind of people you work for and seemingly enjoy it.

We came to get Isabella, who you'd strung up as your puppet, and once we got her we left.

[narcosynthesis]

Isabella came there with a very singular intention. She was looking to prove something, and she thought cutting me down was the way to do it.

[notaroundme]

You'll have to excuse me if I don't feel sorry for you.

[narcosynthesis]

I certainly don't desire your pity. But you have to understand that your accusations are misplaced.

[notaroundme]

Considering you've given me all this information as vaguely as possible, I'm pretty sure they aren't.

[It would be like making a deal with the devil, tbh.]

You still haven't even told me what you seem to think my situation is. Or what you seem to think will happen if we follow the path we're on now.

[narcosynthesis]

Do I need to make it much clearer?

Someone will die.

[notaroundme]

[Alright, that's unsettling. But...]

And if we don't do anything, someone else will die. Are you telling me you can see the future, too?

[She thinks you're really full of shit tbh.]

[narcosynthesis]

No one has to die. Violet takes our offer and Malaak'a can relieve her nightmares instantly. Something to think about. [ shrug ] I've said my piece.

[notaroundme]

And then some.

[Considering he claims that he's doing this for Jade's sake and that's what he's getting out of it doesn't exactly reassure her, no matter how sincere he may have seemed.]

[narcosynthesis]

I'll leave to your [ he glances at the mirror with a smirk ] you time.

[ and just like that she wakes up, and the room looks normal... and he is gone ]

[notaroundme]

[She'll...just have a look at the mirror again. Which I assume is no longer broken. And she's...not going back to bed tonight, nope.]
