Kyriakos: DAY 86

[Suddenly, the books on several of the shelves spring to life--they flutter around the room and open above those present. As they do a magic circle springs out of their pages, enveloping the players in a beam of light and making them vanish into their pages--two to a book. Inside is a featureless room with an indestructible paper-like substance lining floor, walls and ceiling, inlaid with an intricate pattern of metallic roses. My, what long thorns they have …

On the floor somewhere nearby is an incredibly sharp quill and a bottle of an inklike substance--which is clearly labelled as ‘Not intended for ingestion unless you wish to die painfully, you twit.’]

... [sucks in a sharp breath, but then catches herself.]

If it's for me alone, I would refuse any offering at all. You know why.

[ah, yes. . . that was a dumb question]

[drops her head back down.]

What have you decided ...?

[. . .]

You said you can't resent me for fightin' for my right to live. But I think you would if I allowed myself to die.

So I'll fight.

[silently, and without looking, holds out a hand to him]

[and without hesitation, he reaches for it]

[tugs him closer to her, though her grip is still loose.]

I'll fight with you.

[It sounds like it hurts for her to say that.]

[he steps closer to her]

[and after a moment's pause, she'll be able to feel his hand on her cheek]

[still pretty curled up on the ground here :( her cheeks are damp with tears]

[tilts her head very slightly into his hand …]

[brushes his thumb against those tears. . .]

I love you.

Dearly.

A-And I, you. I love you, no matter what.

[breathes out deeply, almost. . . relieved? when she says that]

[I guess they can stay like this until the game ends!1]
