I am the master of my fate

[What is this? Looks like someone is having a little event. Saul is sitting by the banks of the river a short distance from his house, feet in the water, roasting freshly caught and cleaned fish over an open fire. The smile he gives the camera is a full and honest - no edge of menace there. Just a sunny smile, accompanied by a cheerful voice.

Which is its own sort of distressing, really.]

I cannot enjoy these, but I suppose some of you might. Hurry up, they won't stay fresh forever.

[He pulls the crisped fish from the fire, arranges the next round, then lies back on the grass, hands crossed under his head, eyes closed as the sun strokes his face.]

Something got in the water, I think... well. I don't dislike it.


[OOC: Yellow potion of sunshine makes Saul a big fluffy puppy~]

[The feed is switched on by a random crackling of electricity, the origin of which is soon revealed. The place is Unohana's clinic, one of the rooms; the video shows Saul sitting next to a bed, tattered and wounded, his head in his hands. He doesn't look percisely sad or broken, more tired - and focusd. There's a very faint buzz in the air around him, like static electricity, giving the air in the room a soft eerie low.

In the bed lies Carmen's body - if only she'd been breathing, she'd have looked asleep. But of course, she isn't.

Saul speaks very quietly.]

Spirits of this land, powers of this world... I've kept true. I have stayed my blade when you wished me to, I have always spoken in your favor. My fortune is yours to decide.

We've only just begun to understand each other. Don't take her... not yet.

[The prayer spoken, he lets his hands drop to his sides, and leans back in the chair, eyes closed, calm now.]
