[Lulu:] We're sorry for running off the other night. Jasper especially. We hope it wasn't too much trouble for you...

	It was fine. How are you? I'm sorry for putting you in that situation. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-02 11:51 am UTC (link)
	I'm fine. Robin's always fine. I... really am sorry, for... Look, there are things I suppose they deserve to know that I can't talk about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-02 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad you're both okay. And Jasper, it's fine. Don't worry about it. Could you tell me? I can tell them for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 12:28 am UTC (link)
	With all respect, my lady... no. I can't. Even if I wanted to. Robin could, but I think... I don't know. I'll ask Robin. He can decide what's right to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 12:29 am UTC (link)
	Don't let anyone decide your fate. I knew someone who did that and it almost killed her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 12:33 am UTC (link)
	It may be difficult to understand, because I can't explain everything, but he is my fate right now, Lulu. We've got no one and nowhere else, and haven't for a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 12:35 am UTC (link)
	It sounds very much like something your sire told me once. I'm sorry, Jasper. I'm sorry you feel that way and I'm sorry that it's your fate. But you two can count me as your friend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 12:41 am UTC (link)
	If Robin's my fate, I'm not sorry. I love him. I might have chosen other things, if it'd been up to me to choose, but not without him. Never without him. And we are grateful for your friendship. It's a rare thing, where we come from. What did Carrick tell you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 12:44 am UTC (link)
	I think I know how that feels, to a certain extent. You're welcome. It's freely given, even though friendship is very much the same way where I'm from. ... that the fate of your world is dependent upon you two. As it was upon him and Pinion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 12:48 am UTC (link)
	What? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 12:50 am UTC (link)
	I didn't get many specifics, but you're very important, you and Robin both. It's very important in good and bad ways you found him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 12:55 am UTC (link)
	My lady? With all due respect... That's a pile of dogshit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 01:32 am UTC (link)
	I only repeat what I was told. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 01:39 am UTC (link)
	And it sounds JUST like the kind of line an estranged relative would try to spoonfeed a supposedly naive member of the younger generation in order to gain their trust and challenge their curiousity and courage. Sorry, my lady. You can tell him Robin and I graduated from those kinds of bedtime-stories a decade ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 01:41 am UTC (link)
	I would agree with you if they wanted anything from you. They don't want coin, or even affection. I suppose I'm biased because I consider them friends. I'll tell them to seek out some sort of proof, because you're skeptical. Will that be fair? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 01:44 am UTC (link)
	It's your time, not ours. Though even if he does manage to drum up some kind of proof, I'd love to know what he expects us to do about it. We're not exactly in a position to change our world at the moment. Not that we necessarily WOULD. The world hasn't shown us much to demonstrate itself to be worth saving. Or damning.

	You are so very much unlike anyone I've ever known, including myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 01:49 am UTC (link)
	Is that so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 01:52 am UTC (link)
	I spent my life protecting people as they attempted to complete a pilgrimage that would prepare them to sacrifice their lives that would ensure my home a decade of peace. Sometimes less. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 01:55 am UTC (link)
	How nice. Well, the next time we spot any Heroes, we'll send them your way. Unless they get eaten by trolls first, or disembowelled by bandits, or hung by Dunmer missionaries, or drown themselves. All that self-sacrifice doesn't usually do much to improve overall life expectancy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 01:56 am UTC (link)
	Jasper. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 01:57 am UTC (link)
	Yes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 01:59 am UTC (link)
	The fact that you don't understand or appreciate Heroes or Heroism is not the issue at hand. I'll speak with your Sires and let you know if they find proof of what they say is your birthright. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 02:00 am UTC (link)
	As you will, my lady. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 02:02 am UTC (link)
	Do you and Robin have enough food and such? If you need help in navigating the markets, I'd be happy to assist you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 02:04 am UTC (link)
	HI LULU! We're okay! We're really good at finding food. We don't even have to steal it right now! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 02:09 am UTC (link)
	Hello, darling! Oh, good. ... I'm sorry to Jasper, if he's reading over your shoulder as I supsect he is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 02:11 am UTC (link)
	He is, in the way that I mean I'm reading aloud to him and he's trying to ignore me because he's a big sourpuss. What are you sorry for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 02:12 am UTC (link)
	Upsetting him. We have divergent ideas of what's worth living for, but that's none of my business. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 02:16 am UTC (link)
	Oh, no, don't worry about that. He's almost always sort of upset about something. And he's actually quite heroic, in his own way. He just thinks his sire is full of troll droppings. Honestly, I agree. I do like Carrick. I really do. But if he said that to you? It just smells like so much moon sugar to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 02:20 am UTC (link)
	I actually trust him. I don't know why, but I do. And I absolutely trust Pinion. If Pinion didn't refute it, I know it to be true. I don't think lying is something he'd engage in without something gained. I worry about him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 02:22 am UTC (link)
	Why? Is he sick or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 02:24 am UTC (link)
	No. Gone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 02:25 am UTC (link)
	HUH?? What do you mean, gone?? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 02:26 am UTC (link)
	Nobody can find him. Not his girlfriend, nor any of his other associates know where he is. Carrick doesn't know. It's... I worry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 02:33 am UTC (link)
	Oh dear. That's bad, right? Why did he go away? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 02:34 am UTC (link)
	He found out the women he loved died. I don't think he took it very well, to say the least. And yes, when Carrick doesn't know where Pinion is, it's like you not knowing where Jasper is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

...I would be scared he was off trying to kill himself or someone else in really disturbing and creative ways. Or just that he was lost and couldn't find his way. He's really bad at directions, which is a little funny because his dad was a Scout.

I wish I could help, but I really don't know him at all. I couldn't start to guess where to look. I don't really get Bosmer, they're all pretty inexplicable to me.

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 02:39 am UTC (link)
	It's fine. I expect he'll be found when he wishes to be. How do you like living above the shop? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 02:45 am UTC (link)
	It's wonderful! Thank you so much, lady Lulu. It's so much nicer than anywhere we've lived since we lost our parents. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 02:48 am UTC (link)
	I'd never lived in someplace with walls before. I like it too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 02:49 am UTC (link)
	What? Never?? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 02:51 am UTC (link)
	I grew up living in a tent, and as I grew older I journeyed around my homeland with others on a pilgrimage. Permanent houses weren't something I ever used. It was practical, considering how frequently we had to rebuild things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 02:54 am UTC (link)
	Hey neat! Me too! I didn't live in a house until Jasper's mom and dad adopted me when I was 8. Before that my real mom and I lived in the forest and stuff. Cities outside Elsweyr aren't made to welcome about half the subspecies of Khajiit there are. Living in cities or towns would just have freaked people out, and been uncomfortable for her.

	Sometimes I miss the sound of the sea while I sleep, but I'm close enough where Skwisgaar and I can go visit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 03:05 am UTC (link)
	I've never been to the sea. I don't really miss anywhere. I kind of like everywhere as long as it isn't cold and wet. I guess I miss living with Jasper's parents, they were really nice. Stuff's changed a lot since then, though. I don't think we'd still be with them now even if they hadn't gone away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 11:49 am UTC (link)
	I love the sea. I lived in the tropics, so it was warm and wet. I'm sorry you didn't have much of a family. I was five or six when my parents died. I remember them a little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonsofthetower 2008-12-03 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	I had plenty of family! Just not for as long as some other people do. That's okay, though. I've got my little brother to look after. ...well, not literally little. But you know. I'd rather us two stand on our own than be treated as a child. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ultimafury 2008-12-03 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose I had my family as well, even though none of it was by blood. I had Yuna, Wakka, and Kimarhi (though telling a Ronso, even the smallest of the tribe that I'm his sister might have ended in something amusing). Eventually I had Rikku as well, and possibly even Sir Auron in his way. (Reply to this) (Parent)
