21st step: Seeing the sky [video]

[favorthebold]

[The feed clicks on to a view blurred by heavy rain. In the not-so-far background towers the wall of the Inner City. The figure that peers down at the PCD, shaking the device, is at first shadowed and difficult to make out. A few hard taps later, however, the view clears.

Saul grins at the camera. It's a bit of a shaky grin - he looks exhausted, underfed and somewhat battered, generally the worse for wear. But there's a scary sort of light in those eyes. He looks very pleased with himself.]

Ah - still working. Good, good.

[He chuckles very softly, glancing back at the wall, then again at the device.]

Well, then - doma Bao. I'll be seeing you, I believe.

[That said, Saul's hand drops to his side, affording a brief view of him standing, braced against a building wall, head tilted back and eyes and mouth open to the rain, before he starts moving - slow and stiff but purposeful - and the feed switches off.]



As my fortune holds... be here.

[Pauses] So you remember me? Either the spirits are giving people back their memories, or you were in hiding for quite a while.

Note: This is Saul being a lying liar

Time passe differently, in the Wastes.

<3 Makes more sense than being an honest liar

[A little suspicious, but decides not to question it; if people can disappear for weeks, why not longer?] So I've heard. You must be thankful to find your way back out, in that case.

Yes... but unsurprised. I've never tempted the spirits' disfavor.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Most don't. I doubt it makes much of a difference.

Oh, most do. Constantly. But a man who keeps good faith with the spirits of the world need never fear that world too much.
