drops of jupiter.

[ so that was a lot, especially since it was keith’s first time coming face-to-face with a commander. he knows everyone must be tired and emotionally drained, but they have a lot of things they need to talk about. things that can’t wait to be sorted out. he has to collect his thoughts first, though--he’s not sure how to feel about this exactly, but he knows he’s feeling a lot of things. keith needs time to process everything, and he goes off to be alone for a little while.

eventually, michael, kayneth, ignis, camilla, and bucky bring over some food for the gang. it’s a much needed meal, and maybe some people want to eat in peace. unfortunately, keith is keith, and he thinks now is the best time to have a discussion. ]

Look, I know I’m not in the best position to say this, especially after how I acted back there. But unless anyone has any better ideas, we need to go to that lake and see the Guardian. We have to try. If that’s part of the solution to saving these people and going back home, then there’s really no other option.

[ he’s saying this with a calm head this time. he’s frustrated, clearly, but he’s speaking firmly and with nowhere near the same aggression he held earlier, back when he wanted to attack jupiter.

he doesn’t believe that he can be the leader anyone needs him to be. not here, not back at home. but it’s not going to stop him from trying to do what he feels is right. ]

And if we need someone to scope it out before we act, then I’ll do it.

[It gets him to laugh, anyway.]

Don't worry about it, it surprises people sometimes. I'm just gonna assume I seem experienced or something.

[hyruglyphics]

You do! I had-- I apologize, I really had thought you were closer in age to Urbosa than not...

[ IF HE'S ONLY TWENTY THAT'....s. Yikes. ]

[bloodspent]

Don't worry about it, it's okay - so who's Urbosa?

[hyruglyphics]

Urbosa is - ... was. She was my - a dear friend of my mother's, and the champion of the Gerudo. She always looked after me when I was young.

[ That came out so awkward. ]

[bloodspent]

Someone flattering to be compared to, anyway. Good to know.

[hyruglyphics]

Oh - yes! Certainly so! She was a near peerless warrior, wise and tempered, but as ferocious at the desert sands themselves! ... But kind. truly kind.

[bloodspent]

She sounds pretty great. I never really had anyone to look up to like that; it must've been nice.

[hyruglyphics]

[ Someone to look up to ... She wishes she could have spent more time with Urbosa. ... Especially now, honestly. She inclines her head though, smiling softly before she nods.

She hopes that soup is nice for him. Still, she softly agrees, ]

It was reassuring to spend time with her.
