But it tests our bonds all the same.

[ "Our" bonds? Whose bonds?

After a moment of silence, watching the sunlight trickle through the leaves, Trahearne speaks quietly-- ]


I'm sorry.

Hm? [The steady movement and silence was almost putting him to sleep, despite his fight to stay awake.] Sorry for what?

[ Trahearne may as well be sleepwalking at this point. He's so dazed. His voice is still low, quiet, almost melding into the ambient hum of the background. ]

Every day aches knowing I was not there for you for seven years. And now that we have the chance to be together again, I'm squandering it.

[ He watches as the treeline breaks and the afternoon sun washes over them, another moment of quiet. ]

Ellis was right.

[Syrlya is too drunk to take anything under face value, but the reminder that Trahearne is dead always stings.]

It's my fault you were not there. [His head droops down.] And won't you return to being dead when this is over? I'm not ready for that...
pactmarshal: (worry)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2023-01-21 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He shakes his head. Never would be blame Syrlya for his death--it was a consequence brought about by a chain of events that Trahearne himself set off. And he would never hold it against him. ]

Truthfully...neither am I. [ Reflexively, Trahearne holds Syrlya tighter. ] But I should not have acted like I was preemptively removing myself from your life despite that. I...

[ He falls quiet, feeling the midsummer breeze on his skin. ]

[And yet, Syrlya will never release the responsibility. The guilt. He had not been fast enough, sure enough, and by the time he reached Trahearne it had already been too late.]

Were you doing that? [He lifts his head quizzically.] I thought you were just busy making friends. You need that, you know. Friends. I'm glad Kaspar is there.
pactmarshal: (ive done nothing to stop the devastation)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2023-01-21 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Trahearne's hand shifts to put Syrlya's head back down. ]

As am I. But I am fine on the friends front.

[ There's the pang of heartache again. He inhaled, nostrils filling with the humid summer air as it eases the hurt. ]

I would rather spend more time with you.

[ Especially if this time is limited. ]

[personal profile] chronosynthesis 2023-01-21 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Syrlya grunts and cranes to pull his head free. He can look around!!] You're allowed to spend time with me.
pactmarshal: (i told you so)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2023-01-21 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I know.

[ Trahearne lets him free this time, turning to look at him as he pauses.

He only talks again when he looks back up. ]


But there was a part of me that was certain you didn't need me anymore. And it was my own fault for assuming so without even asking.

[personal profile] chronosynthesis 2023-01-21 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Syrlya fixes Trahearne with his best attempt at focusing on him. His lips purse into a thin frown.]

I never saw our friendship as bound only be need.
pactmarshal: (emo but over the shoulder)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2023-01-22 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a few quiet moments before Trahearne finally corrects himself. ]

Want, then.

[ And he falls quiet again, letting Syrlya think about it, if he's capable. ]

[Wow, his brain isn't completely mush.

He sighs after a moment, shifting to try and get a better look at Trahearne's face.]
Trahearne, Trahearne, Trahearne... When are you going to see yourself for what you are? You are so quick to diminish yourself. You have done so much. You are so much.

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2023-01-22 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Trahearne's brain is mush, though. And completely without filter.

He meets Syrlya with a strained, lopsided smile. ]


You always give me hope I have a chance with you when you say that.

[ He looks away again, adjusting him in his arms. He'd probably be tired by now if Syrlya wasn't so light. ]

You are my sun, Syrlya. That you think I could be even a fraction of your brilliance makes my heart ache.

[personal profile] chronosynthesis 2023-01-22 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Trahearne said something about a chance with him, but before Syrlya can really think about it he's putting himself down? Again?? Hewwo????]

You are brilliant. [He huffs.] Honestly, Trahearne! You are wise, devout, compassionate, and an inspiration to many people even after your death. Do you know how many of our siblings are cleansing Orr because they believed in you? How the Pact could only come to fruition because everyone was willing to rally under you?
pactmarshal: (missed opportunities)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2023-01-22 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Trahearne doesn't respond at first; he almost comes to a stop in his pace.

But he doesn't respond. He simply stares intently at Syrlya, amber eyes piercing the other's. He searches, looking for even more beneath his insistence.

But all he can feel behind the incessant buzz of alcohol and the painful heartache in his chest is a question, suspended between the words Syrlya imparts to him. He's touched. And if he were sober enough, he'd feel more inclined to ask further. To feel sheepish on the effect he's had on the future generations of sylvari and the future of the Pact.

Not right now, though. ]


But I only want to be an inspiration to you.

[Syrlya's head droops against Trahearne as the silence stretches on, too drunk to keep it up for much longer.] You are. I never stopped thinking about you... sometimes I go just to see that statue of you in the Grove, and remember what we fought for.
pactmarshal: (what ???)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2023-01-22 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ In Trahearne's own drunken haze, he finds more confusion than anything.

He comes to a complete stop, looking at the other sylvari in his arms. ]


I have a statue?
chronosynthesis: (❖ Deja Vu)

[personal profile] chronosynthesis 2023-01-22 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmhmm... like thirty feet tall. Right at the entrance to the Grove.
pactmarshal: (no! not that one!!)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2023-01-22 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a very, very long pause as Trahearne takes this in.

... ]


I didn't ask for that.
chronosynthesis: (❖ Ether Barrage)

[personal profile] chronosynthesis 2023-01-22 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, obviously. You were dead.
pactmarshal: (teehee)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2023-01-22 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Trahearne immediately bursts out into laughter. This is so rare for him--but he's also very drunk.

Very, very drunk. ]


I love you so much, Syrlya.

[ And he resumes walking. Like it isn't a big deal. ]
chronosynthesis: (❖ Dazzling)

[personal profile] chronosynthesis 2023-01-22 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Syrlya smiles, not sure where the laughter comes from but happy to hear it.] I love you, too...

[It's such a struggle to stay awake by this point. Maybe he'll just... rest his eyes for a moment...]
pactmarshal: (i l*ve u commander)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2023-01-22 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ As Syrlya's eyes fall close, Trahearne's hold on him tightens as he makes his way towards the farm. He never wants to let him go.

He'll fight the goddess and creation itself to stay with him.

As they walk, Trahearne's lack of filter keeps him from staying quiet. He speaks of the things he spoke about with Ellis and Mishka--about how putting himself down is only an insult to Syrlya and all of the things they have both accomplished in their lifetimes. How their limited time should be an inspiration, not a roadblock to all the things they want to do together. How even if Trahearne is somehow unable to go back, that Syrlya deserves the joy of the short moments they get to share in peace. Not the regret of yet another missed opportunity.

He speaks of all of his favorite moments of Syrlya. Of when they defended For Trinity. Of when they cleansed Orr. Of how he watched Syrlya bloom into a hero of his own right. Of how much he treasures the scar across his chest.

He rambles on, and on. Long enough to last them the journey to the rural part of the island, where the open farms dot the landscape.

Trahearne moves his arm a bit to wake Syrlya from his slumber; he gazes down with unbridled affection. ]


Syrlya.

[Syrlya completely knocks about and misses... all of Trahearne's rambling, as he's unable to cling to consciousness long enough to parse any of his words.

Even as Trahearne tries to stir him, he lets out a disagreeable mumble.]
Not now...
pactmarshal: (i **** u commander)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2023-01-22 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He chuckles, fond. He's definitely drunk way too much. It will be a challenge for Trahearne to get home, but he'll manage. ]

We're home. [ He speaks of Syrlya's house, but the wording comes naturally to him. ]

Is the door unlocked? [ He presses his back against the door, ready to push it open if given the word. ]
