[ Koltira's back to his usual self once again--his hair pale as ice, his eyes burning with lichfire. His skin sallow, tinted with hypothermia, and shot through with spiderweb cracks. He wears the black ALASTAIR uniform as he sits on the edge of his bed, twisting a new ring around one gloved finger.

Beside him, his lynx cub rolls around sleepily.

His voice is still deceptively lilting, but the ethereal echo, the underscore of a guttural scratch, haunts him. ]


I must ask for a favor, should you have the capacity to grant it.

[ He glances back at the lynx cub. ]

The dead are not meant to care for the living. If one of you would take responsibility for this creature, I'd consider myself in your debt.

[ A pause. He frowns slightly as he goes on. ]

Recently, some of you met me as I once was. Understand something now. That man is gone. He died nearly twenty years ago, and nothing--nothing--of him remains in me. His house is ash, and cannot be recovered.

[ Not entirely true, though Koltira maintains otherwise.

Another beat, longer this time, as if he's unsure whether to keep talking. But, eventually: ]


Many of you recognized me, yet you did not ruin the past with visions of the future. For this ... I thank you.

[ And that's all. ]

... I'll take care of her, if you need someone to do it.

[ He knows that kind of look Koltira has. ]

If you think... that's going to work...

[ do you think papyrus likes being the voice of reason because he doesn't ]

Koltira... That's not how it's going to be every time! Maybe you've just never learned how to be a good dad, but I'm not going to accept that you'll never be a good dad!!

What's different between now and when you got her??

[ A pause. A thought. ]

I think so!! You won't even know I'm there!

Well, how can you usually tell when I'm around?

And that's how I was going to follow you! I didn't know you could tell it was me by my magic...

[personal profile] boneafide 2016-09-25 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
But it doesn't matter!! There's got to be a way for me to help you besides running away! Last time, you fought people and got tired, right?? We can do that!
