I did hear that you won against them rather soundly! Though if I may... could I ask what made you suddenly retreat that far into the jungle? Were you feeling oddly, if only for a short while? Or was it a result of memory loss?
Is that so.... [he looks a bit saddened at the prospect, before nodding] Very well. Is there something I should look out for in case you might endanger others?
No... not particularly. It is true that I was taught by the gods when no other centaur was, but I assume only to see if my kind could ever be civilized.
Besides that, I am no different from any other centaur.
[and he doesn't even hesitate to say that much as he looks forward and faces chiron - his smile drops, and there's the briefest flash of sadness in his eyes but.
thank god he's blind, right?]
I will try to save you if possible, because your death will prove a hardship for those here, and I consider you a friend. I am not the type of person who will immediately abandon someone at the first sign of trouble.
However if I assess the situation and find that you are beyond help - I will remove you before you can cause harm to the whole.
I know. While I hope that it never comes to path - I will not let you down.
[and he seems thoughtful for a moment - ]
In exchange... It seems that the removed are able to send messages back to us. While I'm not particularly eager to send you to the other side, should it become necessary, I will be relying on your help for information.
I found it odd too - I'd been told that we shouldn't be expecting to hear from them, so it's a pleasant surprise.
[he hums thoughtfully]
If I may - could you tell me who else received messages? I'd heard from three people besides myself so far, and there was a portion in my own message that I haven't been able to decode. My hope is that if I can find the other messages to compare to, it'll be easier to read.

[ . . . . though.]
.... though that does remind me... Are you feeling better, Chiron? I'd heard that you had a run-in with a leopard on Wednesday....
no subject
[-- They were not actually secrets and he sounds vaguely amused, but still.]
no subject
I ran into Lup afterward and asked about her injuries. If it was meant to be a secret... you should have perhaps let her know...
no subject
[Another amused smile]
In any case, none of the names you offered are the ones I was referring to.
[And moving on from that--]
And I am feeling better, thank you for your concern... though I would spare more of your worry for the leopards.

[NOW HE'S MAKING IT A GUESSING GAME]
I did hear that you won against them rather soundly! Though if I may... could I ask what made you suddenly retreat that far into the jungle? Were you feeling oddly, if only for a short while? Or was it a result of memory loss?
no subject
I would never dare to assume he cares so.
[Anyway]
A memory loss, if you are so curious... no, it would be best for more to know; should a problem arise, then I can be taken care of swiftly.
no subject
[HE'S GOING TO KEEP GUESSING
but ah.]
Is that so.... [he looks a bit saddened at the prospect, before nodding] Very well. Is there something I should look out for in case you might endanger others?

[WON STOP HE'S DYING HERE]
no subject
Centaurs are known for their strength, cruelty, and inability to see reason; even I can only prolong that part of me for so long.
Should I ever lose sense of myself and lower myself to those base traits, it might be best to kill me.
no subject
.... you did mention that you're different among them.
Are you worried that that process of losing yourself began this week?
no subject
[Eyebrows raising for a moment. He will get to the next part eventually, but:]
... In what way am I different?
no subject
[he tilts his head]
At least, that's what you suggested to me before - that the others are very dangerous but you, for some reason, are not.
no subject
No... not particularly. It is true that I was taught by the gods when no other centaur was, but I assume only to see if my kind could ever be civilized.
Besides that, I am no different from any other centaur.
no subject
Did you forget what you told me...? Ah, maybe I should've asked in more detail....
no subject
[There's a pause as if Chiron is trying to grasp at something, and it's like watching two forces at work in his own body--
But the moment passes, dims, and Chiron stares at Won is confusion again]
In any case, I need your word that you will not hesitate should I prove to be a burden on the group.
no subject

[because that is always what soo-won does.]

[There is no complaint in Chiron's voice.
As long as he gets the end result he desires, the path to it is less important.]
I will be counting on you, Won.

[Exhaling]
So I have heard. I find it odd that the dead are still in play, but I suppose if I can remain useful even in my third death...
no subject
[he hums thoughtfully]
If I may - could you tell me who else received messages? I'd heard from three people besides myself so far, and there was a portion in my own message that I haven't been able to decode. My hope is that if I can find the other messages to compare to, it'll be easier to read.
I'm crying I did not read your last tag correctly
tucks marie into bed
Hmm... Then I'm still looking for Raven's other message, Sharon's other message - though I have my suspicions, Shima's messages, Laine's messages.....
I currently hypothesize that the dead can send two messages each week - so I wonder where all the information has gone.
no subject
[He doesn't answer the first question because he doesn't think he needs to]
no subject
In the case of the latter - it might be because some of the letters, perhaps Shima's, went to Shiro.
[so that'd
suck]
no subject
[Voice echoing that sentiment. It would indeed suck a lot.
Though after a pause, Chiron's head tilts up with thought, before:]
In regards to the letter we both know about, what are your thoughts on Hilda and Vezda?
