WHO: Bastien (so far) + Various WHAT: Catch-all! A diplomacy mission, a Fitcherless card game, more TBD. WHEN: mumbles WHERE: Various NOTES: This might transform into an actual open post if I get my shit together fast enough.
"I think you were," Bastien says simply, while Whiskey comes over to investigate the huffing man. Her face is covered in wrinkles that slide back when she lifts her snout to sniff his hands.
Bastien smiles at that. Just a little. There's no anger in it, his I think you were.
Minimal judgment, too: "We are all wrong sometimes. Sometimes in ways that get people killed. It is the price of what we do here, non? But when someone is asking you not to kill anyone, that is a time I think you should err on the side of trusting them, I think."
This fully deflates Edgard who frowns and looks down at Whiskey. He sits down and takes the dog's face in his hands, petting her as he thinks. He knew Bastien would agree he was wrong, but the confirmation of it sinks in his stomach all the same.
"Just reacted. Trust isn't what I thought about or--not trusting. Just everyone dying and my watching it all."
He shakes his head.
"Maybe everyone makes mistakes, but I make a lot of them. Again and again. In different ways."
Whiskey sighs in contentment. At least someone is.
