VARUS
tell me father, which to ask forgiveness for?
what i am, or what i'm not?
what i am, or what i'm not?
The Explanation is a hard pill to swallow, but Varus manages to stay silent throughout it, watching her face, studying her for any lies. And he doesn’t find any. He isn’t sure if he’s glad or if he’s upset about it. All in all, it would take a long time before he understands what it means, comes to terms with the fact that likely everyone he knew was gone now and had been, so long in fact there’s likely no remains of his things or his previous life. Wiped away from memory, another body in the ground.
“Thanks.” He manages a weak attempt at a smile to her joke, though it could also be a thank you for the sudden explanation, some sort of realization that sinks deep within him that’s almost enough to ward away the incessant warning chimes that continue to vibrate in the back of his mind.
He sits up a bit straighter, stares at the ruined arm as she moves it into position, before his sea blue gaze lifts to Isla’s face. “No… I think I’m alright. Please just cut it off.” He pauses, looking for something else to talk about. “You said you aren’t new… Are you from the Grounds since I... Went out?” Trying to grasp at straws, trying to understand the missing pieces inch by inch.
