Aabria: Tula, it was duty that brought you back. Your responsibility to others. And maybe there's a part of you that knows and maybe resents that duty didn't bring Geoffrey back to. Do you cast cure wounds? Or do you give Lukas the rest you did not reserve for yourself?
Tula: when I was walking back, it was the day that Geoffrey - that I found him dead. It was the day my mother asked me where I had been and why hadn't I stopped it. And I was on my way to tell my children that Geoffrey was gone. And there was a feeling in my heart that each heartbeat was too much to bear. And so i started to wish that I'd have a little bit of rest before the next heartbeat. And they got farther and farther apart until I fell asleep. And when I came back it was a sense of obligation to my family that I think I have always assumed was duty or obligation. But I think that in this moment, watching my sister kill three humans and a Stoat Monster in mere seconds -
Rashawn: ✌️😉
Tula: - that maybe power's not all bad. Seeing my children embrace the curiosity and adventurousness of their father, and having them find the information that saved us. My mother telling me to embrace change, and my sister's husband being right about harnasing the blue. Obligation and duty is what I said kept me here. It's what I thought. Geoffrey died putting his head up above the snow. So the humans could see his eyes and his nose. Or at least, that's what I chose to blame on him. But really he was just unlucky, and something's you just get unlucky in this world. And I think that when I look at it and think about seeing, and looking for things, curiosity. It's not obligation. It's believing that you can't put your head up and look for a day when you won't feel so tired anymore. Lukas deserves to find that day. He deserves to adventure for it and be curious about where it might be. And I deserve to find that day too. And I'm going cast Cure Wounds.
