Day 16, Month 6
The Cog and Sprocket
Ashen brings back a cart full of undead and shows them to Peach when he runs into her, and explains that he works as a bounty hunter on occasion, killing undead for coin. Peach explains jokes and social conventions to him, until she’s overcome by the discomfort and flees, stopping to have a panic attack around the corner.
Ashen goes to knock on Sav’s door and says, “Astarael Belree. You knew her.” Sav slams the door on him and has a panic attack behind the door.
After a few seconds and a second knock, they open the door and admit that yep, they did know her on their world, and they’re going to need a drink to talk about this with him. Ashen follows them to the common room and says it makes it easier that this Astarael was from another world, and Sav says so that, what, he didn’t have to kill them? and he seems puzzled and says he doesn’t kill people just for knowing necromancers, which Sav has no reply to.
They speak on the differences, with Sav defending Astarael; Ashen says their Astarael seemed like a troubled woman but not without light, and Sav says yes, perhaps his Astarael had also been like that, but something must have been different in her conditions. They also admit that the other people they’d known from before also knew Astarael, that they’d all traveled together, but that Talith probably knew her the longest of those here; Ashen says he’ll talk to him about it, and Sav recommends leading with “I’m not going to kill you over this” because he’s quite scary.
