I have something to tell you all, and some of you might not believe me.

[Valdis' voice is hesitant, halting and uncertain]

There are very few of us left, it seems, who remember Malicant's reign or the atrocities committed by his followers. The death, the taint, the drugs and the suffering inflicted upon foreigner and Kedan alike is unknown to all of our newcomers. But this isn't just about that.

[A long pause, followed by an audible breath]

I have recently discovered that Milyn, the Cherrywood Healer, was involved with the Cultists. She reported directly to Daseng and created the drug known as Dust, as well as the base for Lucid.

[Another pause and then a low growl.]

She was our only ally among the Kedan when we first returned from the Dreaming, she aided us in defeating Malicant...but she also helped him wreak his havoc in the first place.

[Another growl]

I don't know about all of you, but I can't trust her anymore.

Do you know what manner her examinations of Dardul have been taking?

[Read: Have the Hotel rules been broken?]
gistful: (it's not enough)

I see.

I believe I will have Raine examine him to ensure he hasn't been put in any danger. As to any future visits on Milyn's part ...

[He sighs.]

I suppose I can have Raine oversee the next, as well.

[Milyn knows the rules, and this is no proof that she would hurt Dardul in the Hotel ... but there's also things she hadn't deemed important, yet are.]

I see. Do you still trust her enough to think she was truthful?

[Leaving aside the fact that Milyn had never been in charge of souls, as far as Anton was aware. Still, maybe she'd learned something from Eva.]

Her belief does not mean accuracy.

[A pause.]

You think Daseng is responsible for Dardul?
gistful: (it never is)

[personal profile] gistful 2016-03-22 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
I am not convinced that the soul inside of Dardul is different at all. Couldn't he simply be so shattered as to be missing pieces?

[The simplest explanation, after all.]

[It isn't that he disagrees, precisely. It's that it seems like she's jumping to a conclusion.]

Why is he not? We know that there are serums which can force a shapeshifted change--such is how Malcil hid, before he was arrested. Could someone not have done something similar to change Enon's appearance?

[His tone is slow, tentative; he isn't a detective, and he hasn't been involved in much of this process. All he really knows is what happened with Malcil, and what Valdis is telling him now.]

Though I suppose it matters little either way, if the cultists are behind his state--regardless of how it was done. You intend to pursue this Daseng, I take it?

[It's the planning that worries him. Valdis is an active person, but she doesn't always think things through.]

What are you planning, a leanbh?
gistful: (why give up?)

[He isn't sure if it's the truth or just an unwillingness to give him details. It isn't his nature to push, either, though where Valdis is concerned that has been necessary--and sometimes not.]

Once you become sure, will you tell someone before you implement it?
gistful: (why give in?)

[personal profile] gistful 2016-04-04 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
Someone helpful.

[He would like to think that Valdis would know what he meant and abide by it ... but he can't be completely sure.]
gistful: (it never is)

[personal profile] gistful 2016-04-06 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[He has work to do anyway.]

Thank you.

[Unless she has more to say, he's going to disconnect, but he's still disquieted--for more than the obvious, and more to do with what Valdis might do with what she's learned.]
