@neokiponi 1000 years of suffering, and his will is still unbroken. Just deeply battered and bruised. I love characters who refuse to accept defeat, even when they're on the brink of breaking. Makes me want to root for them, despite the impossible odds.
@Livertubu 🩸: (silently holds out his hand to take the Regent's bag.)
🔶️, about to pass out: Oh? No need! I am absolutely sure that I can continue like this just fine!
🩸: ...
🔶️: Oh well, if you insist!!
And then the Ironclad ends up as the pack mule for the rest of the hike XD
"I'm looking respectfully" well can you look at me like you're dying of a fever. like you're delirious and it hurts. like you're fighting desperately for your life.
@Livertubu if it's an early morning hike, they can reach the top and the Regent can collapse exhausted against the Ironclad and they can watch the sun rise together...
