Who: George, Darerca, Saint Columba (NPC), Evil!Padraig Where: Northern Ireland, at the house Padraig is being held at When: A few weeks after George and Darerca arrive at Dee's island home. What: Seeing Padraig again Warnings: Padraig being a big jerk, talk of torture, tba
The closer they came to the house, the less sure George was that this was a good idea.
It had seemed perfectly logical. George had been the one to propose it. He and Darerca had both been quietly worrying about Padraig's living conditions, despite Saint Columba's assurances that Padraig was just fine. Padraig being soulless didn't mean that neither of them worried. So after a few weeks, when George had begun regaining the weight he'd lost and felt more mentally stable, he'd suggested that they pay a visit to Padraig's makeshift prison. Just to be sure.
But as the car they rented pulled into the driveway, George felt his breath coming faster and his heartbeat picking up. Stop it, he told himself, offering Darerca a smile. You're braver than this.
