[vesperian]

I'm only going to say this once-- but please. Get this thing off me.

[He holds up his hand to show a rune on the back of it.]

I don't care what I have to do. Memories, money, my sight- I can't keep this.

[He doesn't look desperate, expression carefully schooled so as not to be completely taken advantage of. It's all in his tone, his voice - his eyes.]

action;

[blackshadow]

[ Tyr pulls off one of his gloves and hands it - or shoves it - to Yuri. ]

Just forget it. There's nothing to do about it right now...

action;

[negativegate]

[Rita just watches, arms crossed.]

We can start figuring something out when things get back to normal. Deal with it until then.

action;

[vesperian]

[He looks at Rita.]

Tell me what this thing does. Everything.

action;

[blackshadow]

[ Tyr takes a few steps back and just watches Rita. ]

action;

[negativegate]

Why're you asking me?

[She glances between them with a frown. Tyr knows more about what it does than she could tell him, but she shrugs.]

As far as I can tell, it absorbs the soul--or life force--of any target when you use one of its spells. So don't cast. Simple?

[Tyr might think there's more to it, but she still isn't so certain.]

action;

[vesperian]

Simple.

[A soft but tired smile at Rita.]

I'll be-- somewhere.

[He turns to leave.]

action;

[blackshadow]

Take care...

[He gives Rita a questioning look. Was she sparing Yuri, or...?]

action;

[negativegate]

Hey--don't get into any trouble or anything, okay?

[She calls it out to him impulsively. There's been enough that's happened already.

And seeing Tyr's look, she matches it right back at him. What else was she supposed to say?]

action;

[vesperian]

[His only response is a wave as he enters another room and disappears from sight.]

action;

[blackshadow]

[ Which is exactly what Tyr would expect from Yuri. After he's gone, Tyr still lowers his voice to speak to Rita. ]

He'll be fine...

[ Yuri isn't dumb enough to let himself die... ]
