that was the night i died.
The Drifter was aware how sensitive the SIVA crisis was for her. She barely spoke of it when they found each other after the situation, he never asked for details. It was not his time to demand explanations over something that had ruined her, and her people, far worse than anything the iron lords had ever faced. As a terrible person as he could be, he had never been forced by her to speak on what had happened in the frozen hell.Truth being told, he would rather keep things as they were. Frozen back in time, never to be revisited, no matter how tempting it could be to dwell in memories of pain and great chaos to claim victory over one’s destiny and whatever trick the darkness wanted to toss at him.
So he had never asked, and waited patiently for the time she would open the gates and discuss what she had been hiding for this long. Granted, the alcohol he readily had available had played an important part on the revelation, and yet something told him she...wanted to reveal all that had happened. Efrideet wanted him to be aware of the level of pain she had endured, on the tragedy that marked and shaped the very core of her existence into the woman she was now: one not afraid of tossing her javelin at whatever shadow dared peak their ugly face and win every fight against them.
Iron Lady Efrideet was amazing.
“You’ve sure seen some shit, lady”, and a chuckle. So had he. Another story for another time. “But! you’re makin’ messes out of my games. It’s taking me more time to clean than to transmat anyone in! This ain’t the place to be a martyr, you know. Gambit’s a system to take care of certain problems”.
