Day 151 | Open

[amnesiadragon]

Who: Ryu and anyone who will humor him with questions.
Open: Open
When: Day 151
Where: All around the Bastion.
What: Ryu has some difficult questions for people.
Format: Either
Warnings: Possible mention of death/war/other upsetting topics. His questions today are running on the existential side.

After all the excitement of the day, Ryu is still left with questions. He just doesn't understand why people hurt each other, or go to war. He doesn't understand why people have to fight. None of this makes sense. And his heart hurts at thinking about all of these things, so there's really only one thing to do.

In the evening, Ryu approaches people, gently clearing his throat or tugging their sleeve if it doesn't look like that will provoke violence. It doesn't really matter the age - he knows he's one of the youngest in the Bastion anyway, even if he doesn't look it. Still, the worry in his eyes is evident as he speaks softly.

"... Do you mind answering some questions?"

"Ah- he's the Cael with the white hair and the hammer. The one who brought that meeting together."

Also the one who fell off the Skyway and made Zulf go into a minor breakdown, but that's not a conversation we're having today.

[amnesiadragon]

"Oh, him. I'm not really good with names."

He shrugs a little bit.

[fuckthemancers]

A sigh. "Well, that's who I mentioned." There's a pause as he glances at Ryu from the corner of his eyes.

"Actually... would you do me a small favor?"

[amnesiadragon]

"Huh? Sure. What is it."

He perks up again. He's always happy to help!

[fuckthemancers]

"He's- on the Skyway right now. Could you keep an eye out for him whenever you go out for the next few days? I just... want to make sure he's alright."

[amnesiadragon]

"Of course. I'll let you know if I see him." He looks a little bit thoughtful. The other looks upset... huh.

[fuckthemancers]

"Thank you. I'm just... a little worried." More than a little, as a matter of fact, but the smoke weighing down in his lungs is helping to smother the full brunt of that worry.

[amnesiadragon]

"I understand." Or at least, he thinks he does. If Nina or Cray or any of them were out there, he'd worry about them too.

[fuckthemancers]

"Thank you." Zulf gives an appreciative nod of his head to Ryu. "Now, is that all you had to ask me?"

[amnesiadragon]

"Yeah. ... Thanks for letting me ask." He's aware he can be a little... too eager sometimes.

[fuckthemancers]

"It's no problem." Zulf gives a shake of his head, ignoring how his vision swims a little at the movement. "If there's any way I can be of help, then I try to be so."
