if he could live out the rest of his life without encountering a single devil again, he'd be more than pleased. the desire to smite is brushed aside, given the taunt. the only knights he could imagine were his companions. surely this devil didn't know of his life before the parasite, it couldn't be those knights.

" we have spilled blood, but not in my name alone ━━━━ what do you want ? why are you here ? "

[sunsseer]

┊ ➶ ｡˚ @oathbrokes whatever you do , do not stray from the path .

Ears twitch curiously at the word of warning. Zahav always did have a knack for wandering off to places where he did not belong. Especially when told not too. The elf doesn't quip back with any sly remarks or taunts ( not yet, anyhow ) . He turned pools of gold onto the other. Studying them closely as he peered long and hard into his own eyes. The need to challenge too strong to simply listen.

"Do you think me unable to handle what lies off the path?" He quizzed, standing upright then. Stepping towards the other. "Think I would be unable to find my way back onto the path?"

He could traverse the seas with dark storm clouds obscuring his map in the skies. Make his way around unexplored jungles. Fighting off whatever threat may come his way. Men and beast alike. His skin was carved of such feats and lessons. There was very little that could scare him straight. Lips pursed, head canted to the side, "Or perhaps you're hiding something? So... Which is it? I would love to know."

[oathbrokes]

he found it uncommon that his word was called into question, giving a small shock to him. taken aback, bright blues meet an ocean of gold as gazes connect. a certain distaste fills his mouth. it's one thing to question his authority, yet another to accuse him. they both know everyone is hiding something, this is a pointless claim.

" you will be happy to know that my thoughts, my actions ━━━━ my orders, have little to do with what i think you can handle. we are stronger as a duo than we are on our own. i know it's not easy to trust it, but use your brain before pointing the finger over your misplaced distrust again. " flared nostrils, a distinct frustration coats his expression, further examination would identify it closer to disappointment. a cruel tongue has never come easy.

[liinthar]

@oathbrokes asked : ❝ The empire survives in part because we believe its survival to be inevitable. But it isn’t. ❞ ↳ [ meme ]

"Naubol zhah mal'rak." Nothing is forever. The words mumbled, gaze on the setting sun. With how long elves - both surface and drow - live, it was easy to think their kingdoms would live forever. Would go on until the end of time itself. It had been beaten into her head that Lolth was forever but was unlearning so much.

But here, on the surface, she was learning how kingdoms had come and gone. How easily it could be torn down by the will of it's people.

"Do you-" Tatithra blinked, eyes stinging from staring at the sunset too long. "Do you think. . ." She paused, sighing and unable to finish. The heels of her palm dug into her eyes and she breathed deeply.

No, she decided, the dark city of her childhood would always be. Nothing could tear it down.

No matter how she wished.

[oathbrokes]

jacerys racks his brain, an attempt to translate falls short, gaze looking on quizzically. anyone might call upon their ilithid parasite to understand, but the thought never crosses his mind. instead he watches, no insight needed to understand the hopeless fight against one's self.

" i'd like to think i do. " cracking a simple joke, a grin toying at the corners of his lips. inappropriate timing, this is obviously not a field of expertise for him. " do i think ... what ? " he presses, finding himself getting comfortable beside her, sunset warming his skin, surrounding lit merely from the shine of his armor.

[liinthar]

@oathbrokes asked : there's nothing you can say to convince me otherwise. ↳ [ meme ]

A frustated hiss left her, hands digging at the roots of her hair. His mind made up, her words falling on deaf ears - what else would she do?

"There must be something!" She got out, moving to stand infront of Jacerys. Tatithra could think of nothing else but to block his path. Even if she couldn't physically hold him back, it was something.

"There is no need. Let us walk away. Please."

[oathbrokes]

blade sturdy within his grasp, eyes fall to meet tathira's. a burden behind them, an internal turmoil that couldn't be solved, definitely not here or now. the unfortunate truth of the matter is that jacerys has a soft spot for his companions, a weak spot that's driven him far in this journey.

a brief glance down to his armor, following the glove down to the end of his blade, then to the creature she's pleading for. nothing changes within him, there's no abundance of mercy coursing through him. his blade yet falters, more convincing is required.

" i can't just walk from this. you don't understand. " a harsh dismissal, one uncommon for jacerys, yet a powerful notion toward his pain.

[bhaal1st]

→ @oathbrokes said: ❛  my first instinct is to protect you, no matter the cost.  ❜

His words almost made her laugh. To protect her? He might as well be shepherding the wolf among his own sheep. Had he any idea what storms were brewing deep inside her? There was blood on her hands the likes he could not imagine — she herself could only guess at how far her sins reached. Few would be LESS in need of protection and yet the truth was that even she could benefit from devoted allies so why should she spurn his assistance when she had to give nothing to gain much more? That was, unless he expected a price for the protection he offered. After all, how could one offer something so costly for free? ' No matter the cost ' was a heavy declaration and spoken so boldly! But she was not inclined to trust simple chatter.

" Our path may yet make your protection necessary — but pray tell what have I done to be WORTHY of such an offer? If I may be so bold as to interpret your word alone as anything so substantial as a real proposal. " But it was paladins who loved the sanctity of their word, was it not? No other group of people seemed so observant of the power a few simple words could hold. And yet it was she who questioned his choice rather than to accept it, to take it at surface level and be satisfied with that. CAUTION, it seemed, was as much part of her as the unspeakable bloodlust in her heart.

[oathbrokes]

there were core beliefs that transcended mere word, at least to jacerys. one, anyone is capable of change, he has to believe this, especially when bringing himself into perspective. two, protect all that you can, life is too short. naturally, he's faltered before, but for him, faith is defined by the endurance of one's desire to try for the better. which means protecting at no cost. if he's been blessed with this magic in his god's name, he should use it for the greater good.

" does everyone need to be worthy of protection to receive it ? " now the words come far before any oath he may have made, all things considered it doesn't hold much weight anymore. this is where he's typically strayed from his devotion, the justice part. not to say he doesn't believe in justice, or choose it at every turn necessary, but to get there, to really deliver justice, you have to be proven guilty. wren has not yet given jacerys a reason to but her at the business end of his blade, so until then he offers her a warm fire and soft bed rolls. " as i said, first instinct ━━━━ there is time yet to disappoint. "

[STRENGTH] - What are they determined to accomplish the most? jacerys' current determination lies in getting home, he knows most likely he won't be accepted as he's broken his oath and the one he was meant to protect died, but further towards the end of the game i believe he would take a long time to ponder whether he wants to take up his oath again. his excuse and / or reasoning for breaking it was to fight the oncoming illithid invasion, and he truly felt he couldn't accomplish that under the confines of his promises. ultimately he'll decide that he wants to do good, but the confines of his oath cannot guide him to the justice he believes is deserved by baldur's gate, it's inhabitants, and his people.

[THE CHARIOT] - Are they confident? If so, what makes them the most confident in themselves/their abilities? he tends to be very confident and dauntless, he doesn't find fear in most situations, which is the main source of his confidence. he always finds himself as the strongest or toughest person in the room ( until he meets karlach and lae'zel ). prior to his abduction, most people had a lot of respect for him, which fed into his confidence, and almost cockiness. he's since found a healthy balance. he's very much fitting of "do no harm but take no shit", he tends not to be the instigator and prefers to talk intimidate his way out of fights.
