I would recommend keeping it, for what it's worth.

[she's silent for a moment, thinking.]

Better to know, or not to know? I could describe it, but I doubt that would matter much.

[spiritbalm]

[ moving a few of the things around, frowning a little bit. ]

I don't suppose it matters. It ended the same way.

[ and he does remember that part. ]

[darkholder]

Fair enough.

[she's never been too good at comfort, but she does at least sound sympathetic when she continues, losing some of the calm neutrality she coats most of her words in.]

You have my condolences. It was clear he was important to you.

[spiritbalm]

[ he's never quite sure what to do with comfort and sympathy either, awkwardly toying with the bandages on his hands, but. ]

He was-- everything. For at least a few years. My whole life was defined by following the Champion of Kirkwall.

[ so what he is now ... is a question he doesn't know how to answer. ]

[darkholder]

[a small pause.]

What do you want it to be defined by now?

[spiritbalm]

... I don't know.

[ tugging at the bandages some more. ]

Me, I guess.

[darkholder]

Then see to it that it is.

[said as if it's uncomplicated]

[spiritbalm]

One of those things easier said than done, I think.

[darkholder]

Why is that?

[honestly curious.]
