[now that i'm not mobile im coming to get you while you do execution
because while he's quiet, for a few moments... well. there's always a lot that goes unsaid, isn't there? he's let a lot of people go, without telling them things that he maybe should have.]
Hey, Nahida.
[he doesn't pull away from her, close enough that he doesn't need to try to look at her when he says it. and if he meant this in a romantic sense, it would never make its way out of his mouth, but more than someone he trusts-- she's a friend of his, and he thinks maybe she should hear it.]
...love you, you know. You've- been a good friend to me, and to all of us, so... be safe wherever you are, alright?
...anyway. when he says this, nahida is stunned. in recent memory, nahida hasn't actually heard this. in ancient memory, nahida hasn't heard this. as a god, she is used to the faith of her believers, but it feels different coming from someone who has actually gotten to know her.
even the traveler and paimon had said things like, "you're doing a great job" and "you've learned a lot".
archons aren't exactly easy to love. even when they have managed to get to know people, there's always been a certain distance.]
Netzach... [her voice sounds a little watery, and that's because she's about to cry.] I love you, too. [when she says it, she knows it to be true. maybe they hadn't teamed up with each other right at the start, but he'd been a constant throughout this entire twisted game - and she'd relied on him without even realizing it all along. nahida has not had a family, at least not one that she can remember, but she does think that, if she did, it would be nice to have a brother like netzach.] Thank you for being my friend. I'll be as safe as I can be, so please... please keep yourself safe, too.
