The death of a few was justified in the survival of many. That’s what Rhys had taught her - and that’s what she was telling herself in this very instant. It was all she could do to suppress the guilt she felt staring at the bloody mess where another human had once stood, now nothing but scattered pieces, and remnants of a life that she’d never know.

With a bitter laugh and a shake of the head, the Scribe turned to face Ramhart.

 “ Of course you haven’t. You’ve been nothing but trustworthy since I met you, ” her tone was laced with a thin layer of remorse, but her voice was confident nonetheless.

Paladin Dietrich was easily one of the Brotherhood of Steel’s more loyal soldiers. In her short time, Haylen had seen more than one Brotherhood affiliate - usually Initiates - who were faithless in the Brotherhood, even scornful. Yes, they did things wrong, but so did everyone else.

However, she had never once seen the Paladin scorn or berate Brotherhood ideals. He had to be one of the most devoted soldiers she’d seen thus far.

 “ Well... What’s done is done. Are you alright ? Even Power Armor isn’t indestructible. ”

           ❝ That’s real romantic, ❞    Valentine deadpans,  but he doesn’t test the Paladin by moving.  He stays still,  with the pulsing of his coolant pump almost tangible in his chest.  His hands are at his sides.  His eyes are gleaming.

            ❝ There,  now,  I ain’t tryin’ anything.  Is there really a call for all this,  Paladin ? ❞    He knows that nothing more is necessary than the mere fact of his being a synth,  but he asks anyway,  as though he were being arrested   (  although it’s not entirely different  ).   He supposes he’s gotten a little bit too close to things that the Brotherhood wouldn’t like gotten into ‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒   it’s been bound to happen sooner or later.

“Not if I can help it,” he muttered. Perhaps his pre-apocalypse sensibilities made him soft, but he wasn’t keen on the idea of wanton killings. Death was a constant and inescapable presence in the Commonwealth that Cas had no interest in making any stronger.

“We should be avoiding that outcome. I don’t want to have to kill anybody.”

          ❝ Yeah, an’ I’d hoped t’ stay out of it at least a while longer. Too bad we don’t always get what we want. ❞    Delivery’s dry as prewar wallpaper, but the tone doesn’t stick around for long. If he had his way, he'd stay out of dives like this, but what control does a detective have over where his cases take him ?   None at all, and people tend to take notice of the fact that where he goes tends to be trouble. Case in point.

         ❝ It’s a young guy, matter of fact ;    his brother’s lookin’ for ’im, ❞    he says, by way of both explanation and confirming that yes, there is somebody missing  (  and why the hell else would he be here ? ),     ❝ Apparently been seen meetin’ up with some shady characters ’round here. Dealers, th’ way I figure it. ❞    

             Figures it’s not too much to say ;    besides welcoming any tips Robert can give him, he’d say any of Hancock’s boys has gotta be on the up and up‒‒‒‒    and if he ain’t, well. Better Valentine finds out than the mayor himself.

Dead Woman Walking: What does your character believe that their death will be like? for Haylen & Return To Sender: What is your character willing to surrender to survive? for Desdemona -atcmbcmbs

Haylen -

Being around death a lot, Haylen has put a lot of thought into her own death. She believes that she’ll die on the battlefield, defending a location alongside her team mates. Some part of her hopes that she’ll die like that. It’s an honorable death, in her opinion.

-                        

Des -

Nothing. See, Desdemona has very, very little left. She has very few personal belongings, most of them being clothes, and her only friends exist within the Railroad, at least, at the moment. She’s effectively made the organization her entire life, so even if she was willing to give it and her friends up, she may as well have died anyways, you know ?
