Round 3 Witch contact post
[The Witch of Misfortune can be easily found wandering around, mostly in the Master Bedroom. Though seems she'll easily stop whatever she's doing and chat with you, at least...]
I like talking to lots of people. You're interesting- and when you're not being scary I like talking to you.
[...there is a Witch Senate. Is this like a constantly operating thing, or do they just like. Periodically have meetings outside of time and space to discuss which things, or...? ...She's just going to give up on this line of thought. What's important is that for a witch to be able to hold a title, they need at least two other witches to vouch for them.]
Then, I think that's all the questions about witches for the time being from here on, I'm not going to pursue any further if you refuse to answer, since the few questions I have left are probably a bit more personal in nature.
Your hands flickered for a bit there. I think whatever you're using to keep the form you're showing us is starting to break down. This might seem strange from someone who's openly an enemy, but are you sure you'll be able to last to the end of the game?

W-whoa! You're NOT okay at all-!
[He starts to step forward, then hesitates, not wanting to make her lash out]
Can I see?

Can I see?
I am fine!!
[That comes out in a furious yell as she slams her hands down on her desk, displaying for a moment the charred hands of a fire-burnt corpse.
It blips right back into normal flesh, but she's glaring at Gebura.]
I will be fine!! I am the Witch of Misfortune, Nirrti! Of couuuuuuurse I can handle myself until the end of this game, you mere piece!!

[He startles, jumping back a little. It's hard not to bolt like a deer, but he forces his feet to stop]
You're right. You're a very cranky Witch!
You're right. You're a very cranky Witch!
You don't make it easy to forget, that's for sure!
[He digs into his bag and pulls out a... tube]
I know you're like, this all-powerful force of magic that doesn't have to worry about physical pain and all that. But Erhard-san gave me this for my burn so maybe it'll help?

That's right. I'm a mere piece on the opposite side of the board that doesn't even like you. Think about what it means that even I'm concerned about you.
[With that... Yeah, she's going to unlock the door.]
...I'll be back in a week. You might find what I have to say then interesting, or maybe other people will have told you by then. Personally, I don't think we should keep it a secret anyways. No matter which way it goes, it's something you'll have to face and decide for yourself on the matter.
[Face the fear, build the future. Nothing comes from the pieces keeping that information from her... Probably not even Nirrti can get past things until she faces her demons.]

So it's more than just "bringing down bad things one after the other."
[ She wants to protest that but she really, really can't. One of the last things she remembers before the Foundation snapped her up was stabbing her own sister. What does that say about her, even if she was Angra's vessel at the time? ]
...I can't argue with that. But, can I ask you something?

[THAT FOURTH TRIAL SURE WAS A THING, WASN'T IT. She was already going to check on her afterward because of how intense that whole argument got, but after the execution...
She hurries after her, following Nirrti back to her room.]
My lady! Are you hurt?

[He expects people to keep an eye on him all night, but he does manage to slip away for a bit. He also expects the Master Bedroom door to be locked. If it is he will just wander aimlessly back to the others.
But if not he'll just... crawl into the bed and cocoon there until Erhard gathers him for bed. He doesn't call for Nirrti particularly and is fine just laying her alone for a while.
He really is like a desperate beaten dog.]

[He wants to reach out and hug her, but he thinks that might be a bad idea right now. He also wants to hold her hand, but that might also be bad.
So instead, he holds his hand up in an invitation, letting her choose if she wants the contact or not.]
Walk with me for a bit?

[The door is unlocked, when she goes in - and Nirrti herself is in her bed, the blankets wrapped around her much like how anyone would do when they aren't feeling well.
She says nothing as Ann comes in, however - though her eyes make it clear she sees her.]

...
Nirrti, I was harsh today.
So I wanted to give you something, to apologize.

[There's a long pause, as she stares down at his hand - and then, quietly, places her hand in his.]
....Kimihiro.
[She says that, so very, very softly.]
You know what I am. And what I have, and do not have.
...Was that....you trying to break your promise to me...?
....Kimihiro.
