ache first, but then let the cuts close
spit out the blood

Decisions had been made – and despite the grimmest hope that he and Evie might be wearing their anointed crowns of avoidance – Wardenship lay along their shoulders again. Putting it off had only done bought some semblance of time, until the test of strength, of mettle, of determination, reared its head once more. Striving amidst pretenses of not feeling the insurmountable weight beginning to tangle and knot its way down the breadth of his spine, along the roll of muscle upon his shoulders, or intertwine amongst the many maneuvers and plots manifesting in his mind, once stones were cast, he settled immediately for the Council Hall.
Cordelia and Noah certainly hadn’t left it in shambles, but there was always something to do. Nodding towards those milling about, he figured he’d wait in the lobby for Evie and any others willing to assist, beginning to jot down notions and necessities, piercing eyes flickering back and forth along baseboards and wooden proportions, long strides sweeping in and out of various offices (pretending his wasn’t laden with dust…pondering if he could still mingle along the barracks as a personal threshold).
By the time the Sword returned to the entrance, the paper was relatively full, depending on how things went. And with a haphazard breath, he let the sentiments settle, cast off and away.

watch your body pull itself back together
then let your soul do the same
