[he's marginally less panicky today!! yay! good job.
that probably has at least Something to do with the knife he's strapping in place on one thigh, securing it before he moves on to tying a choker around his neck. much better.
-then he realizes he's not alone, straightening up.]
[actually, she comes to find him specifically at some point, because she had decided this dude is in need of a big, scary friend to watch his back for him. though knowing you i'm sure he's got a competent killer switch somewhere in his brain
anyway, she finds him, and puts herself on his level, whether it's by sitting or crouching or whatever.]
mathis is in the church, sitting at the far edge of a pew with a blanket wrapped around him to try to cover himself up. with his skin covered, though, the words are just showing up on the blanket, so if she gets close enough-- they'll still be readable.
he's not paying attention to his surroundings, a little spaced out.]
she's wandering, looking around - and when she finds him all curled up, she does a little hop-skip and moves faster towards him. she's doing her best to not read the words, but this is rp and i want to interact with the effect so she probably does it on accident.]
she is probably curled up by the pyre, trying to like, figure out what the fuck to do now. when she hears mathis, she startles, looking up at him, but - she cannot manage a smile today, so she just. looks at him like a kicked puppy. hey buddy.]
[giving her a little wave! he's out here on the island, exploring, seeing what's out here... currently we are closest to the animals i love animals time.]
[he can find her easily enough! she's sitting on the porch or whatever of the mortuary with a piece of wood and a chisel, frowning down at the both of them. when she sees mathis, she glances up.]
anyway, you can find karlach on the beach. she's slamming something into a tree over and over and over again. it looks like a piece of furniture or something. it doesn't matter what it is she's just beating the shit out of a tree.]
[god, it's... heartbreaking, to hear all of that. to hear her voice as she yells those words out, to know exactly how it feels to be aware that--
this is going to be it. that's going to be all. that you once hoped for a happy future you're never going to get to have, but that there's... at least still one more thing you can do for others.
it's not fair. especially to her. she should-- she really should--
there's only one thing he can do, after that, and it's just...
he throws his arms around her in a reflexive hug, holding tight, trying not to cry.]
[he's in the church for a little while, probably. he has also been healed-- where he was burned is now scarred black, with a red pulse beneath. like there's still something there, eating at him. that's fun!
by the time he finds her she has gotten it mostly out of her system - she's clearly been crying, and she looks like she wants to lay face first down in the mud, but she's surviving. just... somewhere. curled up on the steps of something, rubbing at her chest.]
[hi. he's settling down next to her, kind of like, reaching down as he sits to place a hand there first as if spotting himself. he is still adjusting to his altered depth perception.
once there, though, he's just picking up one of her hands gently, inspecting the reddened bandages.]
[after everything has calmed down, she's still here! she's sitting somewhere in the vineyard, staring up at the sky. slightly transparent, and if you touch her she's cold and your hand goes through, but. better than nothing, right?]
