[ This is probably a normal adult conversation.

But it's hard to argue the logic, especially when Dokja finds that he doesn't have the same level of energy or vigor these days to put up a fight. Instead, he's quiet as he rolls this newly sorted plan around in his head, recognizing (for once) the severity of what it is Eustace is offering to do for him.

They've grown into a strange closeness over this past year and then some, Dokja realizes. The fact that he can be open and honest about this stupid idea of his and then have it met back with aid feels foreign, almost wrong in how neatly things fall into place. Of course, there's so much that can still go wrong, but it's. Weird. Communicating is Weird. ]


Okay, [ he finally relents with a slow nod. ] If you're sure.

[ And through their Exalt connection, a small bloom of relief dances across. As much as Dokja is used to dying alone, it's always struck a deep loneliness within him, a reminder that one day, it'll be an actual end and at that time, too, it'll just be him.

But this time, at least, it'll be different. ]
