12th Cast [Audio//Common]

[pimp_hat]

[Believe it or not Kevas has a strong sense of personal justice and even a moral code of sorts. It may be twisted in places but it's there. Taking an innocent life deserves punishment and he deserves to be punished. As far he's concerned all of this is his fault.]Alright, joo might be wonduhin' who be da one dat smashed dem statues and killed dem

[Audio for now]

[The posts have been coming in quickly now, various Called reacting in different ways. Zhaneel had expected something from Kevas along the way, although she had not known when, nor had she expected that he would lay himself bare for what could turn into something horribly violent.

This particular Called also knows for a fact that you weren't along, Kevas; and even if you were, she would not see you take 'payback' for this mistake. A terrible one, it could not be denied, but a mistake just the same.

Her voice is still timid, a mere fraction of the confidence and security she might have voiced a week ago. A week trapped in stone might have a similar effect on others, though.]

Kevasss ..

[So much weight in but the use of his name: chastisement, concern, understanding .. all of that and so much more.]

Do not take the full weight of a guilt that isssss not yourrrssss alone.

[And she feels such, even after the conversation they shared over what to make of the statues. Even that he had destroyed the statue without the knowledge they

[pimp_hat]

[His mind is already made up. If Kevas had seen someone kill innocent people on nothing more than paranoid suspicion you can bet he would have killed them for it. While Kevas isn't willing to die over this, he's more than willing to let villagers kick some teeth in if it'll make them feel better.]

Ain't be no uddah mons who be needin' to take it.

[That liddle mon has no part in this. Kevas could have stopped him but he didn't, and he outright told Ironhide to smash them. This is his fault, and no one else.]

[bondedgryphon]

[Ahh, pity parties. Zhaneel knows all about these and has celebrated quite a few on her own. Hell, you can bet she's about ready to throw a big ole one right about now for herself and several others.

However, Kevas is a comrade and (more important still in her eyes) a friend. She will not stand idly by while he throws himself to the wolves for whatever punishment they see fit.

Zhaneel is grateful for the friends she has made here and she is not willing to let something like this pass.]

Norrrr ssssshould you be. Tissss a missstake and nothing morrrrre .. you did thissss not out of malice, but forrrrr concerrrrn forrrrr thossse herrrre.

[She is trembling, knowing that she cannot run to his aide without risking him health in the time it would take her. She has not flown since recovering from the cockatrice's stare, but it's the only option to get her to Ardel in a timely manner.

She is antsy, shifting from foot to foot as she gazes at the sky.]

Therrrre musssst be anotherrrrr way, Kevassss ..

[pimp_hat]

Dere were innocent mons Zhaneel. I killed dem just cuz I be paranoid. Dat be goin' way beyond mistake.

[The troll isn't doing this because he feels guilty. He already did his mourning and got it out of his system. He's doing it because he deserves to be punished.

Besides, he's being careful. Kevas has his armor on underneath his clothing.]

Oh I know dere be but I ain't willin' to die just yet.

[There's a promise back home he has to keep and family he needs to protect.]

[thepuppyhero]

[Zack doesn't really want to talk to anyone right now. He knows he isn't going to be pleasant company at the moment, but when he hears Kevas's message he has to responded.]

You're crazy.

[He knows you feel bad, everyone's in a bad place right now, but you can't be serious.]

[pimp_hat]

Yeah probably a liddle bit.

[thepuppyhero]

[He never took you for the masochist type.]

It's not gonna solve anything. You're being stupid.

[pimp_hat]

[Sigh.]

So dey don't be havin' some kinda laws where joo be from? Joo can just kill mons willy nilly?

[oneperfecthit]

Kev, this ain't th' way.

[pimp_hat]

Neiddah be an apology.

[oneperfecthit]

Gotta be somethin' else.

[pimp_hat]

Says joo and every uddah mon.

[misguides]

You're kidding, right?

[pimp_hat]

Oh yup. Dis all be one big joke. Gotcha.

[misguides]

It's gotta be, the way you're acting.

You honestly believe this is gonna accomplish anything?

[pimp_hat]

Seein' how I just murduh'd mons, I t'ink I be actually pretty rationally.

[missmimmi]

Kevas...

What-

Why-

Mein Gott.

[Mimmi's thought process is a mix of "KEVAS HOW COULD YOU" and "kevas what the hell do you think you're doing".

She's horrified either way]

[pimp_hat]

[Now see, this is the response Kevas is dreading. He's only been here a month and he already made Mimmi hate him.]

Sorry Mimmi.

[What else can he say?]

[missmimmi]

[Mimmi doesn't hate you, Kevas!

She's just disturbed, mostly]

Do not be stupid!

[pimp_hat]

T'ink it be a liddle late fuh dat.
