yoon's palace

I thought I told you to leave me alone.

[That's good to know.] Did you go a little overboard? [Kainé's laugh is more like a crass snort. If it worked, it worked.

Yoon's probably tired, so she keeps her distance...it isn't like she did anything to contribute, anyway.]

[Strangely, Richard just shakes his head in response to that.]

The exact opposite. Everyone was trying their hardest to avoid fighting him.

[It was kind of admirable, honestly.]

[moonshaded]

Right... got it.

[She blinks once, twice, then realizes she isn't exactly surprised by that outcome. If Yoon hurt anyone as a result of his own pain, even accidentally, the recoil from it would have to have a tenfold sting.

Would she be able to show the same restraint? Fuck. She rubs at the back of her head, which is starting to hurt.]

So you were still fighting - just for him.

[ledbythewind]

Yes. [...] He's lucky to have so many people who care so deeply for him.

[Is he envious? More than a bit. Oh, he knows that there are countless people who would lay down their lives for him, but that "him" would be the King of Windor, not Richard the person. He's not so much a fool to think they're the same thing.]

But all's well that ends well, I suppose.

[And he does mean that-- he didn't want to see any harm come to Yoon any more than the others did.]
