[dirthsal]

WHO: Talin Shira'nehn, Bene, Stephen, Gwenaëlle, Clarisse
WHAT: Talin (finally) completes his onboarding
WHEN: Hella backdated to his arrival at the end of September
WHERE: Various area of the Gallows
NOTES: Individual starters in comments!

After helping get the fennec family relocated, Talin is finally free to actually go about signing up for Riftwatch. It's mostly a boring affair, giving his name for records, making his mark on this paper and that. Who would have known saving the world involved this much paper?

It takes a long while, but the end result is this: he's an official member of the Riftwatch now, with all the protections and responsibilities that provides. His first mission: meet with the various leaders and answer any questions they have for him.

Talin might demur her gratitude in another moment, awkwardly as it was offered. Wave it away, play that there's nothing out of the ordinary in what he's said.

He meets her eyes and nods, just once. Thanks accepted. He understands what his words mean, what they signify. It's not about what he said.

His throat burns with an answering grief. I'll never know the names of the men who killed my bondmate. The charred-flesh smell of my people will never leave me. The ones who fell to their swords were the lucky ones, and I the unluckiest of them all, standing here. Your sisters would not have been better off alive, just dead in a different way.

A board creaks outside the room, and Talin looks to the door.

"Is there a roster I need to make my mark on? I think I hear your man coming back."
