     𝐓𝐎𝐎 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 knock against the inside of his skull, demanding to be heard. names come and go like they are meant to mean nothing.   if they did truly mean nothing, he wouldn’t be stuck on them, and his own name wouldn’t be part of the indistinguishable mess.   faces are even harder to place.   IF THEY ARE IN HIS HEAD, THEY HAVE TO MEAN SOMETHING.   but what’s most present is the knife in his belt — it’s currently clean, but he can practically taste the iron of past kills’ blood. and the look on alina starkov’s face when he’d had it against her neck, both terror and naivety. SHE’S JUST A KID.   (with horror:   I AM TOO).   he can’t report back to the fjerdans yet, not when the mission isn’t finished, not when someone else could come to finish what he should have.

     𝐈𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃𝐍’𝐓 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄 him that he’s getting sloppy — he’s been watching over the sun saint   (not that he could call himself a guardian of any sort),  and she spots him, eyes wide with recognition. immediately his arms are held in surrender.   he considers kneeling and begging for forgiveness.   /   HE’LL NEVER KNEEL AGAIN.   what comes next confuses him even more.   “i’m sorry.”   ravkan feels foreign on his tongue. isn’t it supposed to be his native language? he blinks, shaking his head.   “i’m not here to hurt you. i — i need answers. and i can’t go back, not while you’re alive.”
