Just be careful? [It's uncertain still, but she trusts him all the same.] You'll make the right decision. I know you will. And maybe it's a little dumb to worry but I don't want to see a repeat of what happened today. What happened to Fortune should have never happened. But...if we can protect everyone for another few weeks, the game will be over.
... six weeks, right? [ Said softly. ] At the end of six weeks, however many gods or participants are left ... whoever has the most followers wins. Is that right?
I can't say I'd want to see what that would look like. [ murmured softly, with a small shake of his head. ]
... I'll be careful, [ he'll add after a moment, returning to her earlier request. ] Right decision or not, I went back on my word to you by thinking about this plan at all.
[ I'm yours, he'd said.
And it was true-- ]
I have no right to say it now, but I'll keep trying my hardest to protect you.
...I know. You have so many people you want to protect and it's hard sometimes. I understand. [...sigh.] We'll be okay. I'll do my best to protect you no matter where you go, too.
