Best plans. Food plans. And sword plans.
Honestly, it's more incredible they're still alive. Somehow. They're aaaaaaancient.

He is special ancient. Magical ancient. The great aunts are just normal human ancient. Like a hundred. I swear.
[ It's probably not a hundred. Gideon doesn't care. She'll round up. ]

Wouldn't that be a relief. It'd be so nice if any of them kicked the bucket while I was gone. Or Crux. Especially Crux. You have no idea how many times I've taken him down here in trials. Fucker won't go.

Too depressed.
[Huh. He sits with that a while, turning it over in his head.]
The one I knew had his moments like that. Between picking fights with the Pthumerians and racking up his body count.
In murders not bed.

IDK about your murder happy one, that seems like he came from earlier maybe, but the one here's lost all his friends because he was better at murdering them than they were at murdering him. Pretty sure that left him all murdered out.
He'd already murdered them from what I gathered. They didn't stay murdered; showed up after him in Trench.
That seemed part of the problem.
How far beyond that is he here?
And does the name Kiriona mean anything to you yet?

Huh, well then. Guess it's a good thing (?) they aren't here.
I'm not sure how long it's been since then. It's not exactly something we discuss.
??? Who's that?

For his sake and the world's. I'll admit to missing Pyrrha and Augustine for my own part.
Understood. Nor should you have to. I'll get it out of him myself.
Someone from a future of your world. Willing to explain more but having already met someone here who learned his future and decided to die about it, I'd rather not cause you unnecessary grief.

Huh. Mercymorn was here a couple years ago briefly briefly briefly (before John), but she hasn't come back since.
Have fun with that.
Who the fuck decided to die about it? Dumb ass move. There's parts of our futures we might not be able to change, but the whole damn potential thing is that there are some we can. So trust me, I'm not going to die over my future. Even if I am stuck turning into a zombie. [ Gideon's already faced two trials related to that. One almost two years ago. One at the start of the year. She hasn't forgotten. ]

Did she have a miserable time? [Trench's version had been so good about engineering her own misery he would not be surprised. It would make him sad, could he feel that.]
Maybe. But he is very isolated here and not convinced yet the future is mutable. With hope he'll grow into your attitude & understanding.
Crown Prince Kiriona Gaia is your father's heir, raised from your mortal remains. I was never clear on where your soul ended up. [So. Yes. A zombie.]

Pretty much. Her loss.
It's his own fault he's isolated here. There's so many people and so much to do. Wallowing doesn't help, but I can't boot his ass into revelations. Not my job.
... What's wrong with the name Gideon Nav? That's a good enough name for me, and I'm not looking to change it. Well, there's one more thing for me to change.

[Oh, Gideon. Illarion actually smiles at his Relic. She's familiar but she's also so much more her than the one he'd known.]
Give him your two years to work through his first assumptions.
Ask your father. If I had to speculate I'd say it's something to do with his inability to let go of what he sees as his. Or let it have its own identity.
But that's the him I knew.

[ Gideon's face screws up at "what he sees as his" and the use of it to refer to her. Hello, friend, she's a whole ass person in her own right. Fully grown and independent. Harumph. ]
I'll add it to the queue. Plenty of questions for the guy, and in none of the answers am I going to be an it. Even if he has to learn that the hard way.
So you two were close? Before?

[It wasn't a kind way to put it but dealing with that version of John had ... been unkind.]
Good. You're not an it and deserve better than that.
Close is
not the word I would use.
He was dangerous to people I cared about and. Pitiful in a way. And I was interesting to him so I chose to stay nearby and be distracting.
See if he could be reformed from what he was becoming before he broke everything.
[He is more than a little traumatized by it but ha ha! What's trauma!]
Though we ended up with more. Distance between us after I dueled him over bringing you back as Kiriona.

[ Gideon's not entirely sure how to take everything this person is saying. An interesting distraction? That sounds like, well, Gideon doesn't want to think too hard about what that sounds like. Thankfully, she doesn't know what they look like, so she can't really get a mental image she doesn't want in her head. Mostly. ]
That does not sound... close. Not exactly.
You dueled him? He dueled you? He dueled? Why didn't he just poof you into a fine pink mist of smithereens? That's more like him when he's angry.
[ This person dueled on her behalf? Over her being a zombie? Could her dad bring her back healthy and whole as a real person? Gideon knows he hasn't resurrected anyone since the beginning, but his own kid. Surely that could be an exception. Something.
It's a strange feeling coming over her right now. ]

It wasn't.
[It's worse than it sounds, but not in the way Gideon's imagining.]
That's what I expected out of it. That he'd simply kill me. I was fortunate or blessed and provoked him into fighting me
as fairly as he could.
[It still hadn't gone well but he had scored first blood, so technical win.]

As fairly as he could. [ Gideon's not sure what that is. What's fair from someone who's god? Sure sure, Thirteen and these Pthumerians are even more powerful, but still.
More importantly, or it feels more important at least, this stranger did it for her? ]
I take it we were close-ish before. [ It's much harder than normal to do a vibe check here, a vibe check on someone who knows her better than she knows them. ] Unless you were just offended in general.

He is a not particularly fit specimen of older humanity. If we'd gone just sword and talon he'd have fallen in the first exchange.
[That's half a joke.]
Both in the end. You
the you there needed someone who saw her as more than an object. More than what she could give. I had to try.
You were closer to others there and he ripped you away from them with what he'd done.
He had also lied to me. He'd said making
constructs like Kiriona was an abhorrent practice in his Empire. Not done.
Being such a construct myself I'd taken it for reassurance that he wasn't as bad as our necromancers back home.

That's a fancy way of calling him physically weak *laughter*
Where the fuck was everyone else not seeing this other me as an object? You say he ripped me away from them, but I know that'd never stop *me* from seeing and saving my friends. [ Even if it sounds like something she'd dealt with most her life. Most her time in the Ninth House no one ever helped her. No one stepped in. No one stopped any of the punishments. Gideon knows and trusts her friends here in Folkmore however. They would. They wouldn't let anyone get away with that. She's sure of it. She's sure. ]
Also, hold it, I was going somewhere else, but you're a zombie?
