...I don't know yet. Stay? [Both here and on their team.] So much is dependent on if I can really do this. So many of you ask me if there are things you can do and I never really have a great answer.

[covenantal]

I'll stay, [ he murmurs. ] As long as we're here, I won't leave your side. You can count on that.

[ There's quiet fire in his words. ]

I'm yours, after all.

[divus]

[For now. They don't say that though, and eventually they pull away to look at him.]

...thank you. But seriously, are you okay? The trial got kinda heated.

[covenantal]

[ He means it. With every bone in his body. He'd have to be dragged from his god by force, at this point.

The look on his face is ... complicated, when they look at him, but he'll nod. ]

I'm fine. I don't expect they'll get any less heated, as we go forward.

[divus]

They won't. [Well that sucks.] It's going to get worse as people grow more nervous about what's going on, but we have to stay levelheaded. We're going to need people who can keep everybody on track.

[covenantal]

I know. I'm going to do my best, and I'm sure the others will, too. I'll fight for everyone, just like I'll fight for you.

[ ... ]

Please lean on me if you need to, Love. You have to be strong for so many people. Don't forget that you don't need to take all of this on alone.

[divus]

...are you going to remember the same thing if I agree? [Just saying.] I don't think it's fair if you don't get people to lean on, too.

[covenantal]

... I'm trying, [ he murmurs, which is the most honest he's been about it with anyone. ] But I won't forget. I already rely on your strength, Love.
