#cerrit exu

[sparring-spirals]

Laerryn and Zerxus and Patia, full of guilt and sadness: we all played a part in this-

Cerrit, who was busy getting his kids out when everything went fully sideways, full of salt: okay, not all of us, no-

everytime cerrit speaks my mental image of the campaign goes monochrome

[sparring-spirals]

unfair, unfair, absolutely cruel and unusual to have this clusterfuck of a fight over this soul sucking tree and then cut to Cerrit pleading with his son to go home, go home, bring his sister and he'll see them at home-

[sparring-spirals]

Brennan bringing proper physics into the magic of invisibility and blending that into Cerrit's crazy good perception and his extensive training.... big brain hours, I'm such a fan.

"-Dad, did I do something wrong?"

"No.

I'll always have my eye on you."

and I squeeze their hands.

"Dad, wait-"

patia, mind full of all the knowledge in the world, all of the important things kept in order, realizing it means nothing if it dies with her

cerrit, in an empty home, thousands of solved mysteries under his belt and the keenest eyes in the land, only now, beginning to see what is important.

taken out by Aabria/Laerryn just waiting and ready to be like "HMM YOUR MARRIAGE IS PRETTY FUCKED UP" if/when Cerrit turned on her. Go big or go home.

so many thoughts about Cerrit, and his share of the blame here as explained by Brennan and Travis. As a representation of someone with enough distance to recognize so many of the flaws in the other PC's and specifically holding culpability in not questioning further, not pressing deeper or looking inwards. A crime of inaction, a crime of- to a point- upholding the status quo.
