finally getting back on my "actually doing the CR2 rewatch instead of just writing fic all the time" on account of my face hurting too much for me to write.
so as I've been writing fic I'd been just being like "yeah I'll just give Essek Sending because I need it even though I know it's not technically canonical, after all he has Uraya contact the Mighty Nein on his behalf that one time"
and then I actually went back to watching c2e90 and lo and behold, two hours in we have Essek:
so then I went to check because I was like "huh am I misremembering the thing about Uraya" and 28 episodes later:
so like. why. why are you not directly Sending to them, my guy. seems like you could do that. could be an option.
unless, you know, you're scared to actually address these people directly for the first time (by your initiation) since they uncovered your retroactive betrayal.
and decide to phone a friend to do it for you. buddy.
the only saving grace here for Essek is that it does seem that she was actually on Eiselcross at some point, at least based on the fact that he says she went "back" to Rosohna, because otherwise (and this was my first thought), he used Sending to contact a friend to tell his friend to contact Jester via Sending.
which would be really, really funny.
