Shards of Memory- Prologue: Fractured Union Part II

[Keia]

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil[sblock]*Yuriko headed to her temporary room with Rin in tow. Once there, she gathered her things together stowing them as appropriate, maintaining a light conversation with Rin as she did so. When she was finished, she looked to Rin and smiled compassionately.*

"We should talk with the monks now . . . I believe the time is close for Shinoa," Yuriko mentioned. "Have you come to a decision? Is there anything you want to discussion further, on the way?"[/sblock]

Gaius

Gaius spends the week training and keeping in shape, going on deck for hidaily exercises, and looking at the landscap. He's bored.

"I...For Yu's sake, I wish for them to try to save Shinoa if they can. Do you feel that I am being foolish, Yuriko-sama?"

Gaius:

*Finally, Gaius reaches Eldiz, where he goes aboard the Hesychia, ready to meet up with his new crewmates.*

"I...For Yu's sake, I wish for them to try to save Shinoa if they can. Do you feel that I am being foolish, Yuriko-sama?"

"No, Rin-san, I do not," Yuriko replied as they walked. "If you feel you want Shinoa saved then you must attempt to do so. Ultimately, you must do what is best for your family, yourself, then Shinoa."[/SBLOCK]

"Arigatou, Yuriko-sama. It makes me feel a bit better to hear that," Rin replies as they continue to walk, "I think...I don't want to see her tonight, while she is not herself...It would be too saddening."

"Arigatou, Yuriko-sama. It makes me feel a bit better to hear that," Rin replies as they continue to walk, "I think...I don't want to see her tonight, while she is not herself...It would be too saddening."

"I understand, Rin," Yuriko replied. "Perhaps we should speak with the Elders to let them know of your decision and let them handle it as they see fit?"[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
"Hai, Yuriko-sama. I think that would be best."

*The two head to see the Elders, where Rin quietly announces her decision, which is met with a small nod, as an Elder replies:*

"Then it will be as you say. But know that you shall be responsible for your decision."

"I understand," Rin replies.

Rystil: [SBLOCK]

"I understand," Rin replies.

'Do you think that she truly understands, Tao-sama,' Yuriko inquired. 'It is a great responsibility . . . .'[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
'Probably not fully...It is both a great responsibility and a grim one, and even with all the darkness she has seen, she is still just a child...The monks offered to kill Shinoa for her, and by refusing that offer, though they will try to help Shinoa suppress her inner demons, they are now bound from performing the final blow should she need to be killed...That is only part of the responsibility that now falls to young Rin, though perhaps it is the most grim...'
