I said the same thing, but you wouldn't listen, either. [ She reminds the other woman, heaving a fond, mostly exasperated sigh. ] I've been in worse danger, I guarantee. Sharon, I won't leave you. What I can do, I'll do. I promise.
[ Whether she wants that aid or not. In fact, at the moment, Cecily is packing up to run out and find her. ]
We can be unstable together. [ Cecily mutters. ] Better together.
[ How is it she lucked upon someone like Cecily? The other woman has been far too good to her, far too kind—more of a friend than she's ever had before in her whole life. She wouldn't know what to do with herself if something happened to her, let alone because of her.
It's clear Cecily has made up her mind, however, far too stubborn for her own good (a trait they seem to share). There's nothing she could say that could possibly dissuade her, and Sharon knows that. ]
You're being dumb. [ But her tone seems to indicate that she's not going to further try and dissuade her friend. ] ...But I appreciate it.
[ Because Sharon, too, is being a complete and absolute reckless idiot and driving the mini-van that's Hadriel right off a cliff. ] I can't promise there will be anything for you to do, except... maybe protect people. This power tends to take on a life of it's own, so... [ It will be dangerous, and not just for her, or Cecily, but perhaps for everyone. ]
I usually am. Ask anyone. [ Or, just Cullen, right now, with the others gone. There's a tired smile to her voice, though, despite... everything. ] And you're welcome. You know I would help no matter what you said.
[ Sharon has to know that by now, right? ]
I can protect people, then. [ She stresses. ] I've got some experience with that. With the powers... well, we can take it one day at a time. No matter what, we'll come out the other side of this. Maybe your action will be the one that saves all our lives.
[ She laughs. The sound is surprisingly bitter. It would be nice to be the one to get everyone out, to find a way to take out the gods and take their fates into their own hands once again, but she has her doubts. Her power may very well make everything worse. ]
Or the one that ends them all. [ but, at this point, risks must be taken. ]
[ With everything that's happened, with what she's seen and experienced thus far in Hadriel, Cecily doubts this will be the moment that saves or kills them. Still, Sharon seems sure that this will be some kind of dire, so the Inquisitor merely listens, frowning, then admitting a sigh. ]
I'll do what I can. [ She reconfirms. ] Please be safe. As much as you can.
Don't worry, I will be. [ It's a promise, but given what she's about to do, her safety will be relying upon abilities she's barely tested. ]
And you, too. [ and, like that, she ends the feed. Cecily is prepared—or, as prepared as she can be given her lack of knowledge. Honestly, that's one of the only things that matters. ]
