Who: DelPavo
Where:
When: Day 259, morning
What:

[there is a dirty, exhausted one-armed blank making his way to Pavo.

For the observant he's wearing the old uniform, and through the dirt and whatnot it's not hard to tell he's wearing Pavo's color. And then there's the hair - dirty, but still very big.

. . .

It appears that he's following a black cat]

	[eyes the mark curiously, then gently covers it with his hand] I see . . . and it is okay? To be . . . ah, contracted to a Judge? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It feels just like ordinary skin, and doesn't seem to hurt her.

Her free hand tugs the bucket over, pulling out a damp cloth.]

There's disadvantages, too. There's enough of Pavo with Foreman now to be a whole second team, even if some . . . they're with him because he found them wandering away. And for some judges . . . Surgeon was Lepus's patron, and Mirror is Monoceros's, now . . . even if they're good to their own, the reputation is hard.

	I see . . . mm, it seems as though it would be hard, especially for Lepus and Monoceros. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	. . . it isn't hard for Lepus any more. Surgeon is gone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gone? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	King killed him. Weaver, too . . . the faded judge who was only half there. He destroyed them both. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Trickster, too . . . even if we only saw his statue crumble, and not his symbol. King tried to say he was still alive, but no one has seen him since. [Squeezes the water from the cloth, and turns her hand over in his as she wipes the dirt from his fingers.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[his hand twitches in surprise - almost away from hers, before relaxing] Three Judges, then . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Rubs her thumb over his wrist, soothing, and continues washing.] After Game Master, there's been a few other new ones, too. At least . . . new to us. Of those, Horn and Haunted haven't been so good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I cannot say I'm surprised by that. That there are more dangerous ones that have shown themselves, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's how they live. [Rinses the cloth, and sits back a bit, resting on her legs and wrapping her fingers behind his ankle.] The games we play, the times people get hurt . . . the times they die. They're sacrifices. And it's because of those that the gods . . . that the Judges can survive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is that why . . . [runs his hand through his hair tiredly] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-08-08 02:48 am UTC (link)
	That's why. [Slips off his sandal, gentle with the blisters and abrasions left from days of walking, and starts to clean his foot.] Why the wishes, why we're here. Our lives keep them alive, and when the earth becomes too strong, we become a sacrifice for him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wanderingsword 2011-08-08 03:13 am UTC (link)
	[winces nonetheless, though whether it's at the blisters or the mention of being a sacrifice is hard to tell, and gently pulls his foot away from her] Feathers, you needn't trouble yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Have you forgotten who you are to me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[a soft sigh, and just a bit of the polite wanderer act drops] No, but you don't have to do this. I can handle it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-08-08 04:06 am UTC (link)
	If you can handle doing it yourself, then you can endure having help, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wanderingsword 2011-08-08 04:09 am UTC (link)
	[tiny bit of tsun . . . ] Don't be silly, you do not need to help. (Reply to this) (Parent)
