Well, not alone. Richard's there. How bad was Henry beating himself up about this, though? Did he think... did he think he killed his only niece? His old friend's only daughter? You feel a little sorry you looked so dead there, apparently. "Maybe for a little bit, but—"
"Come on, C.R. Let's give her space."
"Wait! Geez. You should come back, though. Maybe you can bring a chair, and you can... tell me about my father, or something. I don't remember him. But you remember him."
"...I do."
"And, Claudia, um..." If you can't placate her, she might sneak off and do something stupid. You recognize hysteria when you see it. "...maybe you can pick a less complicated ritual...? For me to do? Maybe one without knives?"
She sniffles.
"Um, you can think about it. Maybe next week, or something. I'll tell Richard to make room in my schedule."
"You're a good kid, kiddo. If anything changes—"
"I'll start screaming," you say. "Just kidding. I'll say so."
"Heh. Alright. Rest soundly."
They go. You are there with Richard, alone, unscathed. Yes! As you, naturally, always would have been. You are a heroine, and the Herald, and God, soon, and can't be stopped by some stupid imaginary cliff. It didn't even exist! Nothing to be concerned about. No impact left on you at all.
>[DEBUFF GAINED: Deep-Seated Fear. Your next rolled Enhanced Success is converted to a Failure.]
Positive thinking!
>When Henry comes back, what story will you hear about your father? (Pick one. If there's a demand for Martin lore, I'm willing to share non-winning options at a later point OOC, but for my sanity I can't write more than one of these.)
>[1] What *his* upbringing was like. (You know nothing about your grandparents. Your mother and father may as well have sprung fully-formed from the earth. But that can't possibly be true.)
>[2] How he and Henry met and became friends (/ partners-in-crime). What he thought of the Wyrm.
>[3] How he and your mother met. What he thought of your mother.
>[4] Not any story at all. Just facts about him. Details. You want to know every little thing you can.
>[5] Write-in.
