arsgoetia | [Game 20] Epilogue

Maon leads the way back towards civilization—somehow making his way easily back out through the woods, and you know, there's some things you just don't ask about.

It's a little longer walk back than it was getting there—you'd ended up popping out in a slightly different location. The sun isn't quite up enough to be causing any adverse side effects, and somehow as you walk, you find any fatigue or pain or chill drifting away, leaving you feeling rejuvinated rather than exhausted. The really happy archangel might be partially to blame for that.

The cottage soon comes into sight. Siùsaidh is sitting on the porch waiting, and Tristan's car is once again parked outside.

"Tis about time ye got back," she says firmly. "Tis been three days, and I can only mind an incubus in my home fer so long. Step inside for breakfast, now, won't ye?"

[we will continue to pick at threads in the Endgame but feel free to hit up anybody anywhere in the Epilogue! thanks for the game, see you again ~~in three years~~ soon ♥]

I don't technically have a father, but I can relate with the disappointment and subsequent identity crisis.

A'm not having an identity crisis because of tha deadbeat.

You've been upset since we set out, and it's only gotten worse.

Aye, which means, it's not because of him.

I'm pretty sure a lot of it is my fault, but it's been adding up.

[. . . sighs]

Don't blame yerself. Tis as much me as it is you.

We just need to talk to each other. I keep messing that up.

. . . mm. Me too.

You're amazing, Maon. You deserve to be happy.

??????????????
??????????????
??????????????

What?

You're amazing, you deserve to be happy.

Nay, I heard ye, A'm just having trouble reconciling tha wi' how ye usually treat me.

[grows quieter]

... yeah. I— I'm sorry. I've been an asshole since this whole thing started. I got stressed, I thought there was a real risk you'd end up captive or gone and I handled it poorly.

I am very sorry, I'll do better.

Is tha . . . good enough.

Is it?

I dinnae. I feel as though I charmed ye without ye really knowing who I am or what ye like about me.

You're half right. You did charm me, and we're still getting to know each other— I've tried not to push.

Push?

I want to get closer to you, but I didn't want you to feel like you had to? And ah, I know you're still working things out and I don't want to make things harder, I just don't always know how.

Ye'r makin it real hard to stay mad.

... ah... you should be mad. Feelings are healthy.

I think.

[heaves a sigh. and reaches one hand out to him]

Haah . . .

[takes it]

I'll do better, I promise.

. . . I was goin' ta break up wi' ye, but I guess . . . I like ye a lil too much, still.

[scrubs at his eyes with his free hand]

I'll try to keep that up.
