[So hey. There's this girl. She's been in this place for a while, helped out with a lot of things, and today she got to help do something awesome! Cores are important to the Bastion after all, so that's a good thing.

Except she kind of... lit herself on fire and a lot of people saw it.

Anyone want to talk to her about that?

In all seriousness, Rin can be found after all that hubbub taking a break near the apartments, outside because she really doesn't want to be in her room right now. She's nursing a bit of a wound on her thigh from sliding on her legs under the bird earlier, but whatever road rash she got from doing so is starting to fade finally. Her sword is lying next to her in the grass, and she's just on her back, watching the odd sky above the Bastion quietly.

Mostly because her ears are still kind of ringing from what Crona did.

Ringing ears won't stop her from holding a conversation, though, if anyone cares to bother her, and she's in a decent mood given their accomplishments.]

[Now that catches his attention.]

...Satan himself killed your father? I had thought neither he nor God could directly affect the world...

[Admittedly, he had considered that perhaps neither truly existed, or had perhaps lost interest in the affairs of the world.]

[hellpyre]

Satan is my real father. Fujimoto raised me and kept me and my twin protected from him as long as he could, but Satan finally possessed the old man the night my powers broke through the seal on the sword, and it killed him in the end.

Demons possess humans and other livin' objects in Assiah. They can't truly cross over from Gehenna, no, unless they're half like me and were already born in Assiah. But anythin' Satan possesses just burns up and dies.

And I thought that having Dracula as a father was unfortunate... My sincerest apologies.

actual tag

[He can't help the slight wince at the mention of burning to death; the memory of his mother's screams would likely haunt him for the rest of eternity.]

...My deepest sympathies.

[hellpyre]

... it happened. And it doesn't matter here anyway.

[Which is her way of ignoring that she's still grieving.]

Herp derp, thought I replied to this already

[superdrowningskills]

[This said to a man who slept for 300 years instead of dealing with grief over helping kill his father since neither dealt with grieving for his mother in particularly healthy manners. And now that not even the final resting places of either exist? It's not... something he really knows how to deal with. Going through with his plan to sleep for eternity is out of the question; at least for now, the survivors need as many helping hands as possible. He would be selfish to rob them of that. Nevertheless, he feels... lost.]

..........Perhaps not.

It's ok

[hellpyre]

[... right. Well.]

... I'm... gonna go to my room for a while, actually. But... thank you for talking to me.

[superdrowningskills]

[He nods.]

I have enjoyed your company. Good day.

[There's no smile, but he is quite sincere about it.]
