[in_death_sacrifice]

FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Kain
RECIPIENT: Everyone!
WHAT: Kain got himself injured and has been really out of it this month. Now he's come to! And he's taking the last step before he confess something to someone.
WHEN: Now-ish
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: No warnings.

[Kain sounds very weary, just a bit out of it somehow. Though at least he's finally up for using the crystal, for the first time in a good while. It worked well enough last time he had something nagging at his mind, so why not now? It's technically related, since he figured out what he has to do, but... it's not going to be easy.]

If there was something you had to tell someone, and you weren't sure how to approach it... where would you even start? I'm not sure if I... [He trails off, letting that whole train of thought go, not having any way to complete it. He's had too much time to think, lately.]

I'm getting far too restless here... if anyone can manage to help me sneak out of this place, I'll owe you.

[Skipping over that first part for a moment:]

I'm not certain it qualifies as 'sneaking' when you announce it, you know.

[in_death_sacrifice]

[Yeah, he's still really out of it, not at all thinking in his right mind. That's right, crystals are kind of... universal, aren't they? Ha... oh well...]

Even so, I may find someone more willing to actually help me with this. No one else will.

[circleprodigy]

Because you require rest. Don't make me bring Garahel over to sit on you.

[in_death_sacrifice]

But... you.... you wouldn't!

[Yes, she absolutely would, and now he's a little bit wary of that threat coming true. He moans a little, feeling feverish again. He hadn't realized that just doing this would take so much out of him.]

[gatheringstorm]

Start with 'hey, I have to tell you something'.

[You can tell she's probably never had difficulty saying what's on her mind. Sorry, Kain.]

[in_death_sacrifice]

[There you go, being all... straightforward, why do you have to go and do that, Korrin!?]

Great. Then what happens next?

[gatheringstorm]

Then you tell them what's on your mind. This isn't complicated, you know.

[in_death_sacrifice]

It's much more complicated than you might think. It's... it's not as if it's something that's easy to talk about.

[ EYES ROLL INTO SKULL

hypocritically

[aceso]

[ Yeeeah, maybe you should have locked this from the healers, Kain. ]

Sneak out of where exactly?

[ You may recognize that Orlesian accent as one of those holding you prisoner until you're healed. ]

[in_death_sacrifice]

[Hmmm... yep, wait that IS someone he recognizes, and it's someone who never wants to help him do unreasonable things.]

Well, when I say sneak... I mean... there are many ways to define it... [Not there are not, but he's stalling a bit.] I only want to go for a walk. From a place to... any other place.

[aceso]

And possibly strain your body enough to re-injure it, I am sure.

[in_death_sacrifice]

I'm not about to go into any intensive training just yet. I just wanted to find, ah... a change of scenery.

[ichaer]

You're off to a rough start with the sneaking, buddy.

[in_death_sacrifice]

...and this is why I never became a rogue.

[Sneaking has never actually been his strong suit... give him direct confrontation any day.]

Will you at least consider indulging my request?

[ichaer]

Sorry, I don't want Nessa making me sleep on the floor if I did help you. Which she will because she'll freeze my bed sheets.

[justice_is_blond]

We're not your captors, and we've discussed your premature departures from the healing rooms before. However, as you've clearly no intention of listening to people who have experience when it comes to healing, perhaps you should depart before you're ready.

This way, when you injure yourself further, perhaps you'll learn and I don't have to tell you yet again to stay put.

[Someone is Done.]

[in_death_sacrifice]

It was so much easier escaping the tents back in Skyhold. I miss that.

[It doesn't sound like a bad idea, to Kain in his current state. He'd get to escape, right? He's not thinking clearly at all... he definitely has yet to fully shake the infection that had set in. But, then, another thought strikes him suddenly.]

Inessa will... she'll probably scold me for that. I couldn't...

[justice_is_blond]

Perhaps consider what would be best for you rather than what the reactions of others would be. Impact, rather than expecting others to help you control yourself.

[crowncitizen]

Sneeeeeeak out of where, exactly? Although are you sure announcing that over these crystals is a good idea?

[in_death_sacrifice]

It seemed like a great idea a few moments ago... and I'm sneaking out of the infirmary. It's gotten much too dull being here, lately.

[crowncitizen]

Not so much now, huh? [He's thinking probably not.] Ouch. What happened that landed you there?

[byblow]

[ Sweetly, confidingly: ]

Aw, don't worry, Ventforth. You can tell me anything.

[ Obviously he knows he is not who Kain needs to talk to. But he's just so somber. It's impossible not to poke. ]

[in_death_sacrifice]

[Yes, he really does set it up all too well, doesn't he? Kain gives an exasperated sounding gasp, then a strained sounding one immediately after. Ow.]

I'll keep that in mind, the day that I ever have something worth telling you.

[byblow]

Mm, yes. That day. That day that is not today.

[ If they were having this talk in person, he would be adding in huge stage winks. ]

Take your time.
