8th Con [Video]

[verydistinct]

[The video starts with Eliot outside in one of the more heavily forested areas of the city, shirtless and training with a few self-made heavy bags that are hanging from the sturdier limbs. During this, if you knew Arabic you'd understand thathe was muttering different things in reference to people that weren't there. Things about how the 'camp'

-=Sounding very, very haunted.=-

I was killed.

[Well, that pretty much sucks. Eliot's tone has a more serious take to it, as opposed to being casual before.]

From trying to escape?

[golden_hawke]

No.

-=He takes an unsteady breath.=-

I was... they felt I was a danger to Faunlyn. This was the best way to protect the people. -=He doesn't agree with it, but he understands why. He will always understand why.=-

Most of everyone else's versions have them being held captive and kept that way.

[Though the way Eliot says that, he knows some cultures/groups wouldn't continue doing that.]

It turned out how you expected it to, given the circumstances presented?

[coraltaijiya]

Might be nice if there was anywhere to break out to.

[Too tired to give any fucks about what she's revealing.]

I take it you're having fun?

[video]

[verydistinct]

That does present a problem.

[Rolls a shoulder. It can't be seen, but he's pushing the heavy bag back by the tree with his foot.]

It's not about fun. It's about keeping in a certain physical state. Sort of like following up on physical therapy.

[video]

[coraltaijiya]

Mm.

[She doesn't go into detail, but nods at the second part.]

I can understand that.

It'd have taken longer to reach this point, if at all, without Unohana's help. Injuries with the wrist and the bones around it can have the risk of limited use.

One cannot "break out" of a bricked up cell, Eliot. Would that I could. They have even put a wooden board over the little window at the top of my cell, as a punishment for not praying hard enough to stop my fantastical dreams. There is no light, even in the daytime now, and it has been two days since the reverend mother put anything save half a cup of water through the tiny door at my feet.

[She shakes her head and looks ready to cry.]

I kicked it over this morning before I could find it in the dark.

Not everyone is put into situations that they can get out of. You're a good kid, Juliet. You shouldn't expect something like that to happen to you, even if this was all a product of madness.

[Now for an attempt to comfort...]

I've got tea and white truffle risotto served with ossobuco. I can bring some over.

[capuletnomore]

[She is silent for a moment regarding that.]

It is what would happen to a woman in my time, Eliot. If she were truly mad, as the reverend mother tells me I am, and unable to be helped by bedrest or prayer at home, she would be sent away to be cloistered, so that her family could explain her disappearance and not be thought less of for having a madwoman about. I have "discovered my true calling," they will say. And my family will go on as they have done. Father will choose a new heir from among the cousins, and in private, everyone will mourn for my loss, but to think that anything would happen differently - that would be madness.

[She manages a smile at the promise of food from home.]

How ever did you find the ingredients for such a feast?

[Video]

[verydistinct]

That's when you tell them you're not mad at all, though perhaps a bit miffed at being stuck in the cell. What happens to you isn't completely up to your family. Would your husband allow it?

[Smirks a little, nodding to the side.]

They're not all traditional ingredients, but you find things with the right enough texture and flavor after a while. While not saffron, I did manage to find rice and there are white truffles around when you know the area to look.
