Noah
the truth is what remains
the truth is what you save from the fire
There was an authority that Noah did have, when it came concerning the Grounds. He would stand on it, Danta be damned. If he held the same charge against Torchline, he's stand before Flora and Hadama with the same matter of fact opinions. If it was King's End, then to Sunjata. So on and so forth. Vi was above all of them, above all of their customs and traditions and what Noah did was on that authority. the truth is what you save from the fire
"I did not threaten Danta, or the Hollowed Grounds. If that was told to you, then that is a bold face lie." Noah said, and then detailed the precise words he did say to Danta, with no semblance of a threat in any of the words--
”The letters on your desk, I am sure, report the immense dangers that we don’t know the scale of.”
”It would be prudent to at least get a bearing of what the others do know, so you may protect your people from it.”
"Prudence may not be your forte, but the safety of the Hollowed Grounds should be, and if that requires some semblance of seriousness from you, so be it."
”I have no desire to sit on your council, but I also don’t want to see your region go to ruin.”
”If you don’t care about the betterment of this place, or for the greater good of your people, then I won’t seek out your assistance for future projects. I’ll send you a letter when they’re done.”
”The meteors that fell on Caido bring danger — and that is what I care about. Protection.”
”My involvement in helping the Hollowed Grounds has history before you, and will continue despite you.”
”I came here concerned about the threat that loomed now before us, Danta, that you seem to want to ignore.”
Noah scowled, hurt bursting anew across his chest. "I have learned, and I have grown. What I am expressing to you now is that you, as my friend, hurt me. Yet it seems that you don't give two shits." And Noah couldn't help but feel as if this was always Deimos -- believing himself to be right, always, no matter what. Right about everything, not caring how his actions hurt others because he could do no wrong.
you fight for what you love, don't matter if it hurts
you find out what it's worth and you let the rest burn
