cw: mention of drugging someone

[eyeknowyou]

Hm, I see. Thank you.

[It was as he expected, but he wasn’t unphased by it. He wouldn’t use it ever – he didn’t need it – but having a sleep aid in his possession would come in handy if he needed it for someone else. Not necessarily a knowing party.

He listened about the gods, about feeling their hands, and he could still feel that curiosity. Brother Earth still balanced precariously between Buried and End, but they had often walked closely together. And curing a large group of people was hardly a Fear aspect, although-]

And the ones that lived, survived – were they always afraid it would come back? Find their village again? I imagined it would scar anyway left after something so traumatic.

Mm... [Mercy thinks about that for a long moment.] I'd say there was more hope than fear, sir. Knowing they could best something like that after it got so far along? That's the wonder of the Blessed Break of Waves, though. There's no sickness it can't cleanse.

[That last comments are spoken in a certain cadence, like they're something memorized and repeated many times.]

Hardship comes and goes. There's a weak harvest and your belly's empty for the winter one year, the next it's disease, the next it's war drums beating in the distance. I think those all bleed together for most folk after a time and it's the hope around it you remember.
