just your shadow on your floor

[Zenisse Szereban]

There's a sense of victory rushing through your veins. You're not one to fight for the sole purpose of fighting. You don't even fight to win. You fight to avenge those who were done wrong. There's always a pattern with the battles you choose and this one? This was an easy choice.
The tieflings need this.
They need the security.
They need the roads to be safe so they can seek refuge in Baldurs Gate.
So the smile on your lips? It's real. It's joy. It's stones falling from your chest and knowing that the tieflings got a chance out there. Seeing Karlach that happy? That's just the cherry on top. (What you'd give to embrace her arms.)

Zen

I am?

You chuckle while following her gaze. Fingertips reaching for your forehead expecting the wound to be there and - yes, there it is. Thick red blood.

Zen

Ah - it's just a cut.
