“Can you calm the riots?”
Kaori continues their work without looking at you.
[blue]Riot is the language of the unheard. People are simple, Captain, if their needs aren’t met one way, they will seek another. I tend the flowers, but I can not make it rain.[/blue]
“How do I meet these needs? How do I earn their support?”
[blue] The people here work hard and harshly. Away from home and surrounded by those who look down on them. [/blue]
“I’m running for Axeholder. I’m going to arrest the overseer and end the labor tribute for the Ponni. The Muli are going to be assigned to their own lands. I can give these people what they need.”
Kaori stands up, looking you in the eye for the first time as sawdust falls from their lap.
[blue]I’ve met people like you before. I left the only home I knew because of them. You believe you can keep the world spinning as long as it stays in your hands.[/blue]
“This isn’t about me! This is about saving this city! These people! This Island. We went through so much out there. I can’t come back and see it tear itself apart. Ebbi can’t have died for nothing!”
Your outburst scares even you. You’ve been so focused on the campaign, trying to distract yourself from the fact your head is still at sea. You sit on a bench in the shop and ask Kaori without looking at them.
“What are you going to do now?”
[blue]The same thing I hope everyone does. Provide the help I can to the people who want and need it. The only thing I can control are these two hands.[/blue]
You look at them and see Kaori has assembled a small stool.
[blue]If you’ll excuse me, [i:lit]Huci[/i:lit] Anchikar needs her seat.[/blue]
“They’re looking for you out there! It’s not safe.”
[blue]As I said, I can only control these hands. What others do with thiers is up to them.[/blue]
With that, you stand alone.
