[Here we have one exhausted little witch, sitting in an absolute mess of a workshop that is halfway through being sorted for their days-away world shift. Despite their "victory", she looks quite serious.]

Though I know many of you may be reveling or preparing for our departures, allow me a moment of your time for a few points.

Firstly, for those who are yet focusing their efforts on repairing this city and the relationships of its people, I have been conducting research in tandem with Doctor Wells that proves beyond doubt the inbreeding of this worlds' peoples goes beyond those who are first generation born of mixed parentage.

The evidence is in the blood- [A few drops on thin glass slides, which she helpfully shows in her small palm] even those who purport to be wholly human or goblin. If you can assist in disseminating this information to those in position to potentially use it after we are gone for the purpose of peace, it would be appreciated.

[She pauses, brow furrowing slightly.]

- I believe he may have been transferred, but also, if you encounter Sebastian Michaelis, do notify me.

[But she rushes through that one, into the last thing she has to say, gesturing to a large collection of vials, herbs, and salves on her desk.]

I can only carry so much, and there is no guarantee that the next place we travel to will be one that is home to the plants and herbs I am familiar with as this place is, so if you are in need of any medical aid or herbal remedies, do ask for them presently while I still have time to harvest and prepare things.

Consider this a gift from the Green Witch.

There area always details, aren't there? [ it's curious, though, but unsurprising. the gods, humans and giants intermingled for thousands of years. ] Hopefully no one pulls percentages into play.

Now that we've meddled enough, I'm quite curious what'll happen to this place.

[grunehexe]

Always something more to be discovered. [She absently flips one of the blood slides in her fingers, watching the light from the returned sun playing off the browning smear.] I thought perhaps there was a chance the first generation children could be sterile, but.

[They weren't, obviously.]

- the last place we went didn't have a "good" ending. I cannot begin to guess for Chantes.

[And she's not happy for that, either.]

[selfimage]

No ... [ he heaves a sigh and sounds a little bored. (disappointed, moreso.) ] But good is relative—there's push and pull, and sometimes good, I suppose.

I'm not very good at the good thing, but occasionally I do get it in myself to hope.

[ that he left doing something good. it's heavy right now, sitting in his belly as he waits to leave. ]

[grunehexe]

It is.

[Very relative. What was "Good" to one could be "Evil" to another as easily as some person could consider a color blue and another see it as purple.

But.]

... I have hope, though. We owe this place that much, I believe, despite it all.

[rin replies looking exhausted, but there's a trace of a healthier flush to her, now, like she's not quite so sick—like she just didn't get much sleep last night, but she's feeling fine. she is still in bed and still in her nightgown. she doesn't seem to care.]

What? The blood, Sieglinde? So everyone really is related to everyone else.

[grunehexe]

[Who needs proper attire and such when there's scientific or magical breakthroughs to be discussing anyway?]

Related enough to hopefully cease any ridiculous hatred based on race, at any rate. Even those goblins and humans who presented themselves as "pure"... many among them had at least traces of mixed blood.

Some stronger than others of course, but. One cannot hide what is in one's blood- and that includes parentage.

[defenceless]

[yeah, just ignore archer walking away through her bedroom door...]

Tell me about it. [she sighs, gently.] It's fortunate for the magi of my bloodline. Here, it will just aid the cause for peace. Or it should, anyway.

[wardance]

I wonder if it matters.

[ but holy shit Sebastian you were supposed to be his middleman u worthless...!!! ] ah, he's gone, then. That's too bad.

[grunehexe]

It may matter to some- the more logically minded among them. Hopefully those persons are in a position of power.

[Worthless demon, leaving her with that information then leaving-]

It is regrettable. He provided peerless service.

[wardance]

Why do you think this will change things? I'm curious. [ he is sincerely interested, but he also wants to her from someone who is not fighter and not engaged in the politics of wars. ]

[ a miserable sigh, before mumbling: ]

Hell yeah it is, I didn't even get to use his offer right when I need it. I need to stop making deals and not cashing in on them.

[sanicspeed]

Working with Harrison, huh? Hopefully he's not giving you a hard time?

[grunehexe]

I am fast becoming an expert at dealing with men, so you need not worry on that front.

[... Not quite what he meant, Sieglinde, but. She's from a village without men, really, so forgive her.]

[sanicspeed]

That's, uh...not what I meant. Nor would he really be a problem to you on that front.

Trust me.

[dishearten]

( graham avoids using video communications with most people, but Sieglinde he's familiar with enough (and likes enough) to actually offer something a little more personal than text. )

Is this Sebastian a friend of yours?

( a pace later: )

I don't know that mixed blood would stop anyone from being hateful if they wanted to be.

[grunehexe]

[She appreciates it- if only because she isn't quite socialized properly yet after her years of confinement, so just text can be... Confusing at times.]

A butler to a friend of mine, who was serving me in the same capacity.

[She fears he might have allied with the demons, but surely... It was just a transfer?]

If they were set upon it then yes, I doubt any amount of reason could get through... But for those more ignorant who simply believe that they ought hate what is different, perhaps this discovery will force them to reconsider.

[dishearten]

I don't think I've met him, but I'll keep an eye out.

( the same has happened to Emma, he's more or less sure. sooner or later he might ask around himself, just to know without a shadow of a doubt. )

I'll try and spread the word.

( he doesn't sound keen on it, but perhaps she's right. )

[servant]

So in the end, it's almost like they were fighting themselves.

[Merlin looks sad for a moment. But what's done is done, and hopefully her discovery will help the people moving forward.]

I can help you carry, or harvest. What do you need me to do?

[grunehexe]

Over superficial reasons that did not extend beyond skin or shape... But perhaps that is what people always do.

[To lepers, to the crippled, to witches...]

Harvesting is my priority... There is no guarantee the next world will have this same variety of plants, so it is best to take what we can now, just in case.

[servant]

Right.

[He nods firmly, but after a moment passes a little smile starts crossing his lips.]

When we have time, I have something to show you.

[hsalf]

There was no need to make mention of my name when much of the efforts were yours. I appreciate it nonetheless.

[grunehexe]

Nonsense- it would be false of me to suggest otherwise. Your assistance was invaluable.

[Though she definitely puffs up at the praise, you bet.]

[hsalf]

...I only hope they will take what you proposed into mind. These people are rather primitive in scientific advancement, so I can't help but wonder how much they will take into account the findings.

[ninmu]

Sieglinde. If you are unable to carry all of your belongings, I can help.

[ here for the important jobs. That's also as much of a greeting as he knows how to give, apparently. He may be misunderstanding her question somewhat... ]

[grunehexe]

[Welp, she'll take it anyway.]

If you aren't opposed to carrying some extra things, then I shall take you up on that offer.

[ninmu]

I don't mind. I'm not bringing anything. It would be more useful for me to assist others in bringing their own things.

[ he has no belongings other than the picture of himself that Max gave him. ]
