Chapters 6 and part of 7 of The Passed Out Princess

Pairing: My CMC (Uyu, Dan Byeol) x Suit Saeran See all chapters

Description: On days 7-9 of Ray’s route, the player is denied food as “Saeran” makes his presence first known. But, what if MC fell very ill under this method of torture due to a medical condition? Sadly, my custom MC, Uyu (full name Dan Byeol), would deal with exactly this dilemma.

Notes and warnings found in chapter 1

With the silverware wrapped neatly in a cloth napkin sitting in his pocket alongside the candies, the plate of food in both hands and the water bottle tucked between his chest and arm; he snuck his way back over to Dan. As he knew she would be, she remained in the same position, lying in wait for his return in the fairytale bedroom. He set the fresh food down as well as the silverware on the small tea table at the room’s center before walking back over to her, sitting at the side of the bed directly next to her. Twisting his back, Saeran turned to watch her with a worn out expression of sadness, tracing his fingertips along the side of her face before pulling away rather sharply. He was the one who had hurt her, so he had no right to touch her the way he just did, as if he suddenly cared.

His skin was so chilly in contrast to hers, as if she were alive and he was just a walking corpse. Her heat...he’ll admit...felt interesting against him. But, now he suddenly felt self conscious over the times he had let her feel the glacier that he is. Maybe Ray wasn’t so wrong to wear those gloves.

For once, he felt too tired to be angry. He could get back to his usual self the second she was ok, right? She had no power over him...it’s natural for him to be worried for her like you’d worry for an ill pet. When would she wake...that he didn’t know. But, he’d be there to feed her the second she did. He could be a better owner...a better...whatever he was. His beautiful cyan eyes welled up with salt water once more, glossy tears bouncing off his long lashes as he observed her again. Here, in this room, it was just him and her, with Dan deep in slumber. He could let his mask crumble down like old clay, revealing behind it the sad and scared human being desperate for love and approval he truly was. It’s normal to yearn for such things, something Dan wanted to inform him about.

Would she hate him after she awoke? Why did it matter to him if she did? Would she still be kind to him? Would she view him as the beast he pushed himself to be? Would she be better off without him?

He sniffled, overwhelmed with an odd urge to just hold her, something he knew he didn't deserve to do and tried to reason he didn’t actually want to do. Those were Ray’s thoughts...not his own, as the savior told him. Ray had the weak thoughts and wishes, Saeran none at all. He altered his position so he could press his face into the blanket by her waist, allowing it to absorb his sobs and occasional heart wrenching animal noises he wasn’t used to making in the company of someone. If anything, his usual tears were quiet, long mastering the art of silent sobbing. He was frustrated with her...no, himself, and she’d probably be disgusted by him upon waking. She’d for sure push him away now that he had really fucked up. He made his best effort to hush himself.

He lifted his head, wiping his eyes on his sleeve, ignoring the built up snot in his nose and overall appearance as he reached out to her again, in an attempt to wake her from her “beauty rest”. He started with a gentle poke on the side of her arm.

“Princess..?”, a hesitant rub, “princess..”

He moved in closer, unsure of how to wake her without giving her a small jostle, his voice extra nasally.

“Please wake up...you need food...I brought you food…”

Saeran sighed, turning around to face the wall in front of him as he cried again, feeling suffocated by his own loss and uncertainty.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dan’s eyelids fluttered open slowly, realizing she somehow made it back into her bed, neatly tucked underneath the warm covers. Turning her head to the side groggily, she saw a hunched over black figure sitting beside her, making it out to be Saeran. His weight sank the mattress with a little dent, his back towards her with his face in his hands, shoulders shaking ever so slightly. He seemed distraught. Even without facing her, she could tell he was crying, a weeping so rather silent one would think he was used to keeping his tears hidden away; stuffed inside a closet deep within. She was too enveloped in slumber to pick up his earlier sounds.

Seeing how close he was to her, she placed a hand down onto the blanket to help her shift away backwards instinctively, stopping as her fingertips felt a dampness in the fabric. There were (what she hoped and figured were) tear stains on the duvet cover, and not her own. As she regained a slightly steadier consciousness, her temple pulsed again with a sharp sort of stinging. She sucked in air as her pain returned to her, the smell of food wafting through the room certainly not helping the situation. The smell of food?

Saeran knew she was awake now, with her little movements shifting the mattress and hearing a gentle wince. He picked his face up and rubbed his eyes, sniffling deeply before clearing his throat. A part of him didn’t want to turn and look at her, scared of what her face might say to him; that she was repulsed by him and his monstrous behavior. But, he turned around anyways, knowing it was his responsibility to make sure this didn’t happen again. He felt a loss of face and dignity, but he also didn’t care to try and fix her perception of him as “her master” at said moment. He dug his pretty hand into his right pocket, pulling out one of the mint candies he fetched for Dan before holding it in front of her, unfurling his fingers to reveal it in his palm.

He cleared his throat again before speaking faintly. “Eat this first to raise your blood sugars and then there’s food. It might be cold by now but...eat it all. I want every last bite gone.”

Uyu stared at him dumbfounded for a moment, gently looking over his glorious puffy features and reddened nose as she blinked away some last signs of sleep. She didn’t have the heart to tell him with her condition, sugar made her blood sugars drop more after the high.

Saeran’s stare shifted downwards, avoiding what he feared she might turn into. She’d probably curse him and yell, taking out her rage on him, wanting revenge. And he felt he rightfully deserved it to a degree. The odd silence was killing him as his ears prepared themselves for a fit of shrieking, picturing her voice to sound like a violin bow being slammed into the instrument’s strings too harshly; the beautiful melody lost in the improper way of playing. He strangely felt her voice didn’t fit violent screams. He flinched as her soft skin met him, fingertips grazing his palm with such a brief contact, taking the mint from his hand. She noticed this, beginning to worry more for him than herself.

“Thank you…”, she weakly unwrapped the plastic which surrounded the sweet, popping the white and red candy into her mouth. It was the more melty kind...almost buttery, feeling so good as it gave her body something to perk up with. She could audibly “mmm” with just how nice it felt to taste something right now.

Saeran reached out to her slowly, taking the empty wrapper back into his pocket before standing.

“You shouldn’t be thanking me when you were just sick because of me.”

He walked his way around to grab the plate of food, silverware and water bottle, before returning to sit with her on her little comfy resting place again.

“But you could’ve left me sick-”

“Hush now and finish that mint so you can move onto real food. I don’t need your sappiness right now, and you don’t need to chat with me either.”

“Are you ok though?” She gave him an expression of gentle concern.

“None of your business. Focus on your health.”

“But-”

“Quiet.”

Dan stayed silent with that as he was right to a degree, she could barely speak to him with how frail she felt. She could fuss over him in a second. She chewed up the sweet before swallowing it, her stomach now feeling revived enough to let out a low rumble. She pressed her lips together out of embarrassment, but Saeran paid it no mind as he removed the tin foil which covered the plate resting in his lap. Picking up a potato with the fork, he held it out to her with one hand underneath it to stop any food from falling.

“Eat.”

And for the first time, Uyu completely obeyed a command of his, feeling saliva pooling in her mouth as she went out for the bite. It was gone in a split second as her need to devour anything and everything grew stronger, spreading like wildfire with that first garlicky taste which lit up her tongue. To hell with composure. Pushing past the lingering nausea and dizziness, she crawled in real close to him, antsy for the next bite he was preparing; a bit of steak.

Saeran seemed shocked for a moment after looking away to see her practically snuggling up to him, almost dropping and dirtying the fork. A rosy pink similar to the ends of his hair dusted across his cheeks as he turned to feed her again with furrowed brows; a color hard to hide with a face so paper white.

Bite after bite seemed to give her more and more life, and...a bit of happiness too? Well...anyone would feel happy being fed after passing out from lack of food. Saeran’s heart did a different kind of squeeze seeing a few awkward smiles from her, the opposite of what he was expecting her to show him; little twinkles instead of grimaces. He felt safer now, hoping she wouldn’t change to resentment upon feeling fuller bellied.

He brushed the napkin underneath her bottom lip, wiping away a small spot of sauce which went unnoticed by her in her gluttony, picking up some of her faded cherry chapstick onto the piece of cloth with it. His sight locked onto the stain, a swipe of coral against the thick white fabric which touched her, face again flushing in fuchsia color as did Dan’s.

“Try to keep your face clean, I’m only ignoring it because you’re so hungry. Does the food taste fine at least?”

She nodded in response to his question before letting out a quiet “yes”. In the stillness of the moment, hushed enough to hear each other’s breathing and swallowing, she monitored him closely. Saeran’s eyelids were not only swollen but droopy and heavy with the need for relaxation, a bit crimson from sobbing, those dark circles even more sunken than usual. He observed her eating, looking as if he wished to black out himself, but also with a strong impression of fret and trouble, locked onto her as if she’d collapse again. Funny enough, he looked like a sleep deprived mother with a hungry toddler who’d leap from the high chair at any moment while being fed, shattering like glass or porcelain as she fell. Despite the uncomfortable atmosphere, Dan piped up.

“I feel ok enough to feed myself now...maybe you should-”

“If you’re asking me to leave, I won’t. Not until that plate is finished entirely.”

Uyu almost wanted to chuckle a little at his new found anxiety, looking like he’d actually panic if made to leave the room.

“Ok then. I was going to say lay down while I eat...not ask you to go.”

Fretting over him, she was sort of ok with Saeran staying, ignoring how unpleasant he’d acted around her previously for now. She just felt at ease knowing he wasn’t in that dismal work room or listening to that damn “saviour’s” awesome lessons about embracing darkness like some freaky weirdo. She held out her shaky hands so he could give her the plate of food, and after shooting her a small glare, he placed it in her hold, the fork resting on top of the vegetables.

The man sat up stiffly before crossing his arms.

“Don’t go making a mess and getting food on the blanket, I’m not in the mood to clean up after you even more-”

“Of course. Now as I said, kick back please.”

“Tch, I don't need to lay down. If anything, you do once you’re done. You still look ten shades too pale and I can see you shaking.”

“Then I guess we should both lay down at some point. Either way, make yourself comfortable for now.”

The tiny woman glanced at his posture before looking back at her plate, stabbing a potato with a timid smirk.

“You know...slouching isn’t illegal here. Or I at least hope it isn’t.”

“If you have the energy to make such a comment, I know that food is working at least. Don’t go testing the waters, princess. I’m still not your friend.”

She swallowed her bite before answering, a sad undertone appearing in her voice more than intended.

“So, should I consider myself lucky the shark took pity on the fish?”

Saeran laughed faintly, an exhausted breathy “ahaha” before finally allowing the tension to realise in his back, slouching forward, his chin resting in his palm.

“Yeah, that exactly. Consider yourself lucky that I can’t let my prey die just yet.”

He sounded less than convincing.

“But you seem so-”, she silenced herself, almost picking out his obvious distress and signs that he wept over her state of illness.

“Seem so what? What is it that I seem to you, hmm? Go on, finish that statement. Keep playing with hell fire!”

“I was going to say tired. You seem tired.”

She held back her true words, cutting the pill into a smaller one for him to let fall down his throat without choking.

“Tired? Of course I am, from dealing with you and your inability to go hungry for one fucking minuet.”

Uyu bit her tongue, trying her all not to start an argument as she felt some anger bubbling in her chest. She took in a deep breath to attempt to cool herself down, normally not allowing anyone to talk to her this way before lashing back to defend herself. It was his fault that this all happened, but she could tell he knew that already from taking one good look at the sorrow painted across his face he tried so hard to hide. She gave herself a second to collect her thoughts before speaking to him more rationally.

“I too wish I didn’t have this problem, but I do. I swallowed my pride to reach out to you for help, and I thank you for actually realizing help is what I needed.”

“Again with the ‘thank you’. I...I should have been feeding you, there’s nothing here to thank me for, weirdo. You also didn’t necessarily have any pride to swallow, you straight up passed out on top of me.”

“But, I called you to come over here, didn’t I? You even made fun of my pleading...”

“Hmph...sure sure, fine. You did beg and plead. I’ll be taking that to memory~”

“Oh really? So that’s what you’re into huh?”

“Are you trying to imply something perverted right now? Seriously? Shut up and eat your damn food before I clunk you out personally.”

“Just trying to lighten the mood.”

“You speak so bravely but I can see the fear I bring to you and your little shuddering shoulders, you impractical joker.”

Saeran was right, his behavior scared her, but she wouldn’t allow it to make her fall.

“Hence why the mood needs lightening. But in all seriousness...I’m already feeling much better. How about you?”

“Heh, that quickly? Funny. And why are you asking about me again? Do I not look fine to you? I’m fine, perfect in fact. Worry about yourself and your own recovery.”

“It was just a question. I hope you’re taking care of yourself is all, with the amount of work and stuff you have to do. You didn’t have time to even shoot me a text all day...”

“That’s because I don’t want to constantly talk to you. Again, worry about yourself! Stop acting so selfless trying to butter me up-”

“Asking about someone I care about is no task or mission as it’s something I just want to do. It's not goal oriented...”

Saeran groaned as he rolled his eyes, picking himself up to lean back against the mountain of poofy pillows aligning the bed’s headboard, kicking up his feet to lay down fully behind her. His right leg crossed over his left as he stretched back, putting both hands behind his head, making himself more relaxed. Dan turned around to give him a small smile and show she was still fully paying attention to him, receiving a scowl as he lifted the corner of his mouth to flash her his pearly teeth in response.

Secretly, Uyu was a bit giddy over the fact that he didn’t deny her last statement, trying to shove her away as he usually did. Instead, he adjusted his position into one of more relaxation. She took another bite before apprehensively commenting on the fact that his shoes were still on, which would dirty the white blanket.

“I’m happy you took my advice on laying down...but maybe...shoes off in the bed..”

“Want them off, take them off yourself, little miss OCD.”

He wiggled his right foot in her direction, grinning.

“Never mind then. I just thought if you’re going to lay down, you should get properly settled.”

“Why does it matter that I’m comfortable in your bed? You want to see my feet that desperately, princess?”

She nervously laughed a bit at his snide comment, Saeran scratching his head and looking away for a second as her tiny giggle met his ears. He turned to lay on his side facing her, one hand on his hip as his head rested in the other, his elbow propping himself up. Her laughter lasted a bit longer than intended seeing him spread out like a sassy underwear model before her.

“Didn’t realize that was so funny to you, trying to hide your thing for feet under all that laughter?”, he teased.

“Oh heck no. I just find your implication funny.”

“Uh huh,” he shifted to finally kick off his shoes, revealing his bare feet before returning back to his old position.

“Wait? You’re not wearing socks? Pfft-”

“So you want to see my feet and then you don’t.”

“No, I’m not desperate to see your feet at all, it’s just...oh never mind hehe.”

“Socks just suck.”

“But wouldn’t your feet get sweaty in your shoes without them?”

“Again with the fussing over my feet, princess? Come on~ now I know what you’re into.”

“Hey, you’re the one who took it wrong. It’s normal to have a no shoes in the bed rule.”

“And a second ago, you took what I said wrong.”

“Ok so, we’ve established that I think you're a sadist and you think I have a foot fetish then.”

They chuckled together, their genuine laughter mingling sweetly in a sing-song as it filled the earlier emptiness, a weight leaving both of their chests as well as some tension. He couldn’t remember the last time he actually laughed and joked with someone.

As they both came down from their little high, Saeran cleared his throat before speaking more seriously again.

“How’s your eating coming along? Finish that plate so I can go.”

Uyu’s expression changed to a more somber one, finally starting to enjoy his company. When he wasn’t shrieking trying to prove himself to stand superior, she could focus on that side of her that wished to grasp at his hand and tell him not to return so soon to the places where she could not be there to see what he was dealing with. Away from her, he was encased in the lies this place spoon fed him, the shadows threatening to devour him. She could not fight for him the way she wanted to locked away, but sadly, she was still too shy and afraid to keep him near.

“I’m almost done…”

“Why the long face? I thought you’d be happy to be rid of me now that you’ve eaten...”

His tone was hushed, voice deep as he trailed off slightly uttering the last word.

“I never, not once said I’d want ‘to be rid of you’. I actually said, or welcomed you to make yourself comfortable...which implies the opposite…”

“Ha... I just don’t understand, but fine then. Let those words come out of your mouth nice and clearly, and ask me for exactly what you want.”

“...I”, she gulped, thinking of a way to properly respond. He seemed to desire some sort of corroboration.

“I want you to be certain. If you’re not, I’ll go.”

“...I am.”

“Ok, but that’s not the sentence I asked for.”

He started shifting as if to get down from the bed before she finally reached out to him, lightly tugging the cuff of his jacket’s sleeve, stopping him from getting off fully.

“You said you wouldn’t leave until my plate was finished, and it’s not.”

“Are you calling me a liar? I hate liars. Naturally, I want you to beg for me to stay longer than that since you’re oh so lonely in here, paranoid that me just moving was me leaving. So, do you want me to stay longer than that? Hmm?”

And there he went again, trying to appear as if this was all a part of his vicious game of power play. Even as he took on a cheeky mien, he still could not hide the fatigue which mingled itself with his sharp words. Saeran, now sitting up straight directly next to her, leaned in till their faces were barely an inch or two away from touching, not respecting personal boundaries. She almost went cross-eyed trying to focus on him as her cheeks warmed in temperature, and she hoped whatever color they showed wouldn’t give her flustered nature away, having him so close.

“You’re lucky I felt ok enough to brush my teeth earlier,” she whispered meekly. “And it seems to me you want confirmation that you can stay..”

He tiredly cackled, his candy scented breath tickling her as he kept the distance between them so slim.

“Still not enough to get rid of your-”, he stopped himself. “Ug, sickly doll. You can’t go a second without making such idiotic accusations-”

“My what? My smell?”

His eyes darted away from her before returning to stare into the large green pools which were her’s, recalling his secret appreciation for it earlier as he held her. His reflection in her pupils frustrated him, looking as if the pressure he felt earlier had indeed crushed him like a ton of bricks.

“Yeah that..”

She raised a brow, “Ok, and what is my smell to you?”

He swallowed thickly, “Gross. It’s just gross. And annoying to recall …”

“I guess you don’t like roses then, because almost everything I use is rose scented. And you seem to like to be in my space a lot for someone who doesn’t like my smell.”

His face twisted in discomfort as if he’d start sweating soon. “Roses are Ray’s thing, not mine. And again with reading too much into what I’m doing.”

“Then what is your thing? And what are you trying to do?”

Saeran paused, finally pulling back away from her, Dan feeling like she could finally respire again.

“You’re trying to get me to turn around from our earlier conversation. Maybe I should take off before you finish your food after all, since you can’t play nice.”

“Hmph.”

Session Nineteen B

Malkas: "God, this hand."

Edith Runekill: "Maybe cards was a mistake."

Malkas: "Do I need to eat the card now?"

"Like a hyena?"

Edith Runekill: "I... I don't think so." She makes a show of pretending to read the rules.

"Doesn't say anything about eating a card."

Malkas: "Okay, so that was a house rule back home."

Grim: "Only if you cheat."

---

Pepper: "You should be glad I can't fit a piano in my lap."

Grim: "Better you than Sydney."

Pepper: "I hope they sent that beautiful instrument off with full honors."

Pepper holds a non-existent hat over her heart.

Grim: "Only fittin' for a casualty of war."

Pepper chuckles. "Hope it didn't leave behind any unfinished symphonies."

Grim doesn't get it, but that's fine.

In this session we've got a lot to talk about.

The set-up: A bunch of side RP got done because of our surprisingly eventful fight.

The Game: We've set up camp for the night and are settling in for a well-deserved meal.

Syd takes a moment while the dinner's cooking to have a chat with Pepper who's been moping in the car like someone died or something. Though it doesn't seem like that's what's bothering her.

Pepper reluctantly tells Syd the healing at the end of the fight was from her, but it's not something she can reliably do. Syd doesn't understand and asks if maybe it's painful for Pepper to do, to which Pepper angsts that it was just random luck. It's not anything she can control.

Syd tries to reassure her that it's nothing to be ashamed of and that what happened must be perfectly natural. Good, kind Syd is trying, but Pepper's not hearing it.

Sydney Gaydos: "So you can't control it?" Sydney smiles. "That's nothing to be ashamed of Pepper! It's perfectly natural!" That was a lie. She has no idea.

Pepper: "Natural does not mean good. It doesn't mean invited, it doesn't mean pleasant, it doesn't mean anything except when a bolt of electricity goes off in someone's face, there's a name for what happened."

"If you don't get it, don't try and say you do, okay?" she says and rolls away from Syd.

Sydney Gaydos hecks up so bad. She lets Pepper finish her rant first before saying anything. "You are correct. Gayd--I, don't know anything about it." Ohhh Serious Tone now. "But I want to. It seems to be troubling you and you are my friend and I want to help with that." Pause. "Even if that means electricity to my face."

Pepper turns her head slightly, then turns back. "I thought that accent sounded phony." She groans. "This wasn't supposed to happen. It HADN'T happened for so long." She buries her face in her elbow.

Sydney Gaydos: "It's not phony!" she huffs, but lets it go. Slowly she reaches out a hand to put on Pepper reassuringly. "You were under a lot of stress. It was a fight after all!"

Pepper doesn't flinch away, she doesn't react at all. "Yeah? You wouldn't be saying that if it'd been anything other than a heal. It's just gonna get worse, and someone's gonna get hurt."

Pepper still has her head buried. "When Grim shot Cap she did it on purpose and everyone still jumped on her for it. Wait until I accidentally. Teleport someone out of the car or something."

Sydney Gaydos is going to HUG this out gosh dang-it.

Syd tells Pepper anything that happens would be an accident and the group would stand by her. Even if they didn't she would, for sure. But she's optimistic, we're all friends after all!

Still, Pepper makes it sound like it might be better if she just left but Syd won't hear it. Syd tells her she's just as important to the group as anyone else—Pepper helps to keep the mood light and spirits high.

Pepper mopes a bit more about how ill-suited she thinks she is to adventuring, but she seems to be feeling better. She thanks Syd for taking the time to talk to her the camper and promises she'll see her in the morning.

Syd's so good, y'all.

It's Mal, Edith, and Grim on first watch and they're all on high alert.

Edith Runekill leans on Leomund's Tiny Hut. She's wearing her Goggles of Night and has has wrapped herself in the blink cloak. What a maverick fashion icon!

Grim sits nearby, smoking under a tree and idly working on her rifle carving while she listens to the Wilderness Night Sounds

Edith Runekill peers out into the woods, not entirely convinced some more bullettes won't come bounding out.

Malkas is scooping the remaining stew into a tupperware.

Well, Edith is on high alert.

The trio talk about the monster attack earlier in the day with Mal and Edith agreeing they'd almost rather be back fighting mummies than more bullettes. They understood mummies, at least. The discussion turns to life and (un)death in general and how a lot of mummies are probably more of a security system to chase off grave robbers. Edith would rather respect a being's remains, rather than turn it into some kind of guard for a bunch of relics, but it's a moot point for her—everyone in Plaguewrought is cremated after death.

Edith Runekill shrugs. "We cremate our dead, anyway. If I die somewhere where I can get the proper rites done, it's back into the air and the earth and the sky and water. If not... well, that still happens, just slower."

Grim nods and works away on her carving.

Malkas: "... You know, I don't know what the tiefling burial rights are. Not like we're religious. And also the only tiefling funeral I've been to was my Great Great Aunt Pazuzu and we didn't have a body for her on account of her getting eaten by a hydra."

Edith Runekill: "Hey. Um."

"If... if I die out here, on this trip. And in a way where you know I can't be brought back... since I know that's a possibility, depending on how things unfold. But... but if I'm really gone for good..."

"You--”

"You'll... you'll burn my body, right?"

Malkas: "... Yeah."

Grim says nothing and keeps carving like she didn't hear

Edith Runekill: "Sorry. Not anybody's idea of a fun conversation. But... well. This is dangerous stuff we're doing."

Malkas: "Mhm."

Edith Runekill: "And I... I just wanted to make sure."

"You know?"

Malkas: "I know."

"Will you promise to embalm me and hang me up like a halloween decoration in your home to scare off all other potential suitors?"

Malkas has a pathological need to lighten a mood.

Edith Runekill lights a cigarette, but she's smiling a bit now.

Malkas: "Get a good taxidermist. Not Eddie at the museum."

"That dire wolf is a fuckin' hatchet job."

Edith Runekill opens her mouth for a follow-up joke, but it dies on her tongue; she can't really find this funny.

Malkas lights a cigarette.

Malkas: "We're gonna be fine."

Grim is tuned out. She's not into this conversation.

Cheerful!

Mal finally turns the conversation to less troubling talk and pulls out a deck of cards to help pass the time. Edith would love to play and Grim joins in with Mal winning the first two rounds. They play a few more rounds with Edith pulling out ahead and Grim quickly losing interest in the game.

It was a fine distraction, but Edith's mind turns back to the fight and how close she came to dying. She'd never had such a close shave before.

Malkas: "Trust me, being dead and then coming back is ... really hard to get your head around the first time it happens."

"I prefer almost dying."

Grim: "It's s'posed to be that way."

"You get comfy with all that magical shit, that's how you end up like Tam."

"We all got limits for a good reason."

Malkas: "Well that was the issue with Thay... No limits on anything. Total mageocracy."

Grim: "Limits don't just come from the outside, though. You got to know in yourself when it gets to be wrong."

"I don't believe it's a bad thing to be shook up over comin' back like that."

Edith Runekill looks troubled; that isn't QUITE what she meant.

Edith Runekill: "No, it's more like... like a sort of whiplash. Less about the magic in particular and more just... the gut feeling of having your body all bent and broken and twisted up and torn how its not supposed and then just--" She snaps a finger. "Suddenly you're whole again. And it's like none of that trauma's real? Except it happened. But..."

"And I didn't get it half so bad as poor Syd..."

Grim listens quietly, but doesn't seem to know what to make of it

Grim: "For the most part, I ain't accustomed to travel with a cleric. Spent most've my life way out where the best healin's a needle 'n thread and a bullet to bite on. Time you get on back to somewhere with a temple, or a clinic, it ain't a problem to recall what's been done."

"Don't know that takin' the knocks is easy to swallow either way."

Malkas: "Neither are we, really."

Edith Runekill: "I'm glad we are, obviously. Otherwise we'd be... y'know, dead. But it's still new."

Malkas: "Dad's a cleric but he didn't usually have to do much day to day healing. A couple of ... Big Fergus-related mishaps sure."

Malkas eyes drift to the car where Pepper is sleeping.

Grim flicks the end of her cigarette into the embers of the fire and folds her arms across her knees.

Mal flips through a guidebook for the Sword Coast, looking for some interesting sights or events we might be passing by. Grim mentions that she's known on the fighting circuit further east if we need to earn some money, and Thay's the closest thing to home turf for her. Mal roughly plots out having Grim help with the navigation around Thay, but before then we'll be passing through Edith's home country.

On the topic of Edith's home, Grim asks her what her folks are like. She hesitates at first before speaking.

Edith Runekill: "They're decent enough sorts? But... but the life I led isn't really what they pictured for their little girl. The job I got, how far away I live... the people I associate with... how much danger I'm putting myself in."

Edith Runekill puts a hand on Mal's shoulder.

Edith Runekill: "They came to visit me in Neverwinter. They made it clear-- in that icy polite understated calm Plaguewrought Land way-- that they didn't really approve of what I was up to. And... and especially not Mal." Edith looks miserable about this.

Grim lights another cigarette, studying Edith as she sits back

Malkas puts his hand over Edith's.

Grim: "So what makes 'em decent?"

Edith Runekill: "I... I guess they want the best for me?" She looks unsure about this. "And... and it's just that I got a different idea about what's really best?" She casts her eyes down, looking uncomfortable.

"I don't wanna sound ungrateful? They gave me a roof over my head and food in my belly and an education."

Edith Runekill lapses into an uncomfortable silence

Grim just smokes thoughtfully

Grim: "How long d'you reckon on paying the debt?"

Edith Runekill: "I... hm."

Edith Runekill takes another long drag on her cigarette

Edith Runekill: "My brothers have done so much more for the family than I ever have. But... but they wanted all that. The farm. Putting down roots of their own out there. A farmhouse and a big family all their own. You know."

"While I was chasing the sunset and dreaming of adventures out west."

They sound nice.

At any rate, Grim tells Edith it's best to live life for yourself and not for family, gods, priests, or whoever else. Though she freely admits she doesn't have much experience with families. Edith never second-guessed her own family before she met Mal's—the Steeles are a very caring, welcoming bunch. Grim reassures Edith that whatever happens in the future, she has people in the group looking out for her.

Of course, no talk about Plaguewrought Land is complete without mention of corn.

Malkas: "You know what we should get at the next stop?"

"Popcorn."

Edith Runekill snorts.

Edith Runekill: "I think we should just appreciate non-corn foods all we can 'til we get past the Cloven Mountains and enter the Corn Kingdom."

Malkas: "True..."

Grim: "What's wrong with corn?"

Edith Runekill: "Nothing inherently. it's just... well, I grew up on a corn farm. It gets a little... monotonous."

Grim: "Cornfield's a real huntin' ground. You got field mice, snakes 'n snake eggs, all kinds of birds, even besides deer around the right time've day."

Malkas: "And Corncob head."

Grim: "What now?"

Edith Runekill: "Corncob Head..."

Malkas: "The mysterious being with a cob of corn for a head that haunts you if you should ever leave and then return to the Plaguewrought Land."

"It's not real, I'm just teasing Edith."

Edith Runekill: "Yeah, it's just a story we tell. But you can tell a lot about a people from the stories they tell..."

Malkas: "In this case, it's a guy with corn for a face."

Grim: "My experience, always worth keepin' them kind of tales in mind. Often they come out of something not so far from truth."

Edith Runekill: "It's less about a guy with corn for a face and more about coming home after you been gone."

"Which. Well. You know."

Malkas: "Or, like... some kinda spell at some point. With corn."

Edith Runekill: "If Corncob Head turns out to be real, I quit the adventure."

"I'm not sure I can deal with my mixed feelings of fear and dread about going back there being embodied so literally."

Grim: "I don't know, fixin' it up into something to shoot sounds as good a way to face up as any."

Edith Runekill grins. "Good point."

Malkas: "I think if it's real enough to shoot, some other adventurer has gone home to plaguewrought and to shoot it."

Grim: "Perhaps each local that leaves creates one anew."

Edith Runekill: "There's a whole colony of 'em."

"You're driving by endless rolling fields of corn. And then you see a couple cobs bigger than the others. And then they stand up."

Malkas: "More metaphors should be edible."

Edith Runekill: "Corncob Heads."

Malkas: "We can make a melted butter golem."

Grim takes a swig from her flask, eyeing the treeline

Grim: "Don't go givin' Pepper ideas, now."

Edith Runekill actually laughs, for the first time in a while.

Edith then wonders if she shouldn't try talking to Pepper about the wild surge she had during the fight. Grim's not versed in magic so Mal and Edith explain it's a sorcerer thing—Mal's brother has them, too. Basically, a sorcerer's magic can go off in unpredictable ways, though in Grim's opinion magic is never very predictable.

And speaking of Pepper, it's time for her to take watch. Grim sends Mal and Edith off to bed, she'll wait up for her.

Grim finally glances up at Pepper, then back at her rifle. She nudges her flask out and nods towards one of the empty seats in invitation.

Grim: "Don't mind the company a while, do you? Ain't so much settled to sleep yet."

Pepper: "It's fine," she says, taking a seat but leaving the flask. "Probably shouldn't drink if I'm supposed to keep a look out, though."

Grim shrugs

Grim: "Keeps the cold out pretty good."

Pepper: "I usually just warm my clothes up or something," she says, faintly gesturing to Grim's shirt sleeve. It starts to feel warmer by a few degrees before she gestures again, causing the heat to dissipate in the cool night air.

Grim glances down at the sleeve and her brow furrows a little, but she nods and goes back to work.

Grim: "That'll do for cold on the outside, sure enough."

Pepper glances at her, chin propped in her hand. "Mm. If you want me to drink my cares away, I'm still gonna have to pass."

Grim snorts softly

Grim: "Fine by me."

Grim asks her where the name Pepper came from. She tells her it's just a translation of her nickname from when she was a kid. She would have gone by her full name—Adralei—but it turns out non-Elvish speakers are bad at pronouncing Elvish names.

Grim: "What's it mean in elfish?"

Pepper picks at a spot on the table. "It's hard to translate. It's like. Good fortune gained through hardship, I guess. But it's also like, an appeal? Asking for good fortune despite hardship in the future. It's a real old, traditional name."

Grim considers this, glancing at Pepper thoughtfully

Grim: "...Ilmater teaches hardship's a part of life. There's always gotta be some certain amount of it in the world. So there's virtue in goin' through it, takin' it off the backs of folks around you. Enduring the worst to make for better fortunes all around."

Pepper just gives Grim the most rotten look.

Pepper doesn't seem very comforted by this line of thought—her parents went through a lot just to end up with her. Grim asks what's so bad about ending up with her to which Pepper responds that even she should have a few ideas why. Grim thinks, she concedes that Pepper runs her mouth and she's a smartass but she's been around worse. But Pepper also healed Syd and helped out big during the fight.

Pepper tells her, too, that the heal wasn't any of her doing—it was just some kind of luck or fate.

Grim: "Fate don't just happen by itself. Takes you showin' up."

Pepper: "Yeah? Well, after awhile fate's the only thing that even wants me showing up anywhere anymore. It sucks and I don't have any control over it."

Grim: "You got control over bein' here, ain't you? Don't know a soul among us that don't appreciate every body we got on the tail of that lich."

Pepper: "I meant control like something else takes over and--ugh," she starts, her face in her hands again. Then, quieter, muffled by her palms. "I thought maybe you felt the same. Like when you got mad today."

Pepper looks away. "Never mind, I'm probably just overthinking things again. What was it, 'cooked up in my own head'?" She has a sour smile on her face.

Grim studies Pepper for a minute, then tosses the end of her cigarette into the fire and looks back over at the owl.

Grim: "I know what you're talkin' about," she says, more quietly. "You ain't wrong."

Pepper noticed when Grim raged out during the fight—though it would have been hard to miss her repeatedly stabbing a bullette seeing as they were in the same car. Pepper asks if it happens a lot, Grim says it's been more frequent lately and that right fighting used to help keep it under control.

Pepper says she's not sure if anyone else would have noticed, there was a lot going on. She's pretty sure Edith was too excited about her fireball to see anything out of the ordinary. A fireball Pepper's still a little peeved about.

Pepper: "And I'm not sure she gets that knowing what evocation can do is a little different experience than being stuck in the middle of it. But what am I telling you for, you were there--" She glances up and catches the look on Grim's face.

Pepper lowers her voice into an almost conspiratorial tone, but looks at the carving instead. "Didn't you say something once about a fire?"

Grim hasn't moved much, but every muscle in her body is tense suddenly. She runs her fingers absently over the carving, brow furrowed.

Grim: "...my hometown burned. I don't remember it."

"Only sometimes, somethin' in me does."

Grim doesn't know why she's telling Pepper this. She lets go of her rifle and takes a slug from her flask instead.

Pepper nods. "My surges were worse when I was younger. I didn't know what I'd done unless someone told me. I think there's still stuff my mom hasn't told me about, she doesn't want me to worry."

Pepper: "But then it's like. You just end up with different stuff to worry about." She lapses into silence, studying the carving instead.

Grim: "There's things that live in your bones, once you been through 'em. Even if you don't recall."

Grim follows Pepper's gaze to the rifle. She's been painstakingly carving out a coyote against a desert plain

Grim: "There's worse places to be, when you're dangerous, than standing in between regular folks and evil."

"Least, that's how I tell it to myself."

Pepper: "Mm. I'll take your word for it, this is a little new to me." She points at the carving. "Is that like. For good luck or something?"

Grim eyes the carving and then smiles a little

Grim: "Naw. Just reckon it looks nice."

Pepper: "Yeah. 's neat."

Grim tells Pepper she heard her talking with Edith the other night at the hotel, after Candlekeep—the walls really were that thin. She's glad Pepper's treating her better to which Pepper admits she had a lot of things wrong about both Edith and Grim. Well, it's almost an apology. Pepper laughs at how backwards she had the situation and double-checks that Grim had no idea about Edith's crush. She didn't—she's used to more direct talk from people.

Grim spots an owl up in a tree, it's actually been watching the two of them for most of their conversation. She IDs it as a celestial owl, a kind of spirit and a good omen.

Grim leans down and rummages around for one of Mal's tupperwares, cigarette clamped in her mouth while she fishes out a chunk of leftover rabbit and tosses it across the way towards the owl.

Grim: "S'a kinda spirit. Good kind."

The owl swoops down and picks up the hunk of rabbit. It does one of those real gross owl moves to swallow it.

Pepper: "Oh. Maybe things are looking up, then. Or. They're going to get so bad it showed up so it'll only be mostly bad."

Grim: "You sure got an eye for a downside."

"And that's comin' from a gal named Grim."

Pepper: "We can trade names, if it bugs you that much," she grins, a bit.

Grim smirks and exhales smoke, watching the owl

Grim: "Suits you better bein' Pep."

With that, Grim goes off to sleep, closing out the scene and the night.

Everyone’s such good friends!
