#gavinor rp #maya‚ nightblood‚ and now oathbringer #adolin is going to have quite the sentient sword collection

*takes a deep shuddering breath and then summons Oathbringer, holding it out to Adolin* Will you take Oathbringer for a while? It's... too dangerous for me to have it.

...Den says there's a spren inside. Maybe you can help it like you helped Maya.

*practically falling out of the car* Den! Den, where are you?

(@story-cryptic Up to you where she is currently!)

I told them not to take you with them, because I feared you may not be ready. A soldier who ignores orders needs to see some form of punishment. I've already told them as much, and they took it with grace.

*he nods, and pauses* They must have scribes here somewhere, I assume. Even if everyone seems to be able to read and write. You should start taking lessons when we get home.

*stiffens uncomfortably* Don't punish them. They're my friend. I won't let you.

.....I guess I can........ if I have to.....

... I won't hurt them, Gav. It's just cleaning latrines. Even if they're your friend, they've also willingly put themself under my command, and there needs to be consequences for an order disobeyed. That's how you keep a disciplined army.

I'm not asking you to read Jasnah's history books beginning to end, but it's very useful to know at least enough to send and receive messages without needing a scribe.

O-oh.... j-just that? No tricks?

*muffled snort, almost too quiet to hear* Den'll probably read them to me anyway. She likes history.

*practically falling out of the car* Den! Den, where are you?

(@story-cryptic Up to you where she is currently!)

... no. You were never given orders not to leave the planet. I'd still like to ask you not to do it again. I may be able to sense if you're alright, but the others can't. And you were already taken from us once. They might draw false and terrifying conclusions.

....Won't. .....Is Kat in trouble? Don't be mad at them. They said they needed my help.

.......Will you write to Mother and tell her I'm alright? She gave me a spanreed... but I haven't been able to use it. There are no scribes here.

#gavinor rp #i wonder if gav has a messed up idea of what a “punishment” would entail because of taravangian....#gav with the wettest saddest eyes possible: why does grandpa want to send my friend to the torment nexus :(#also i'm giving gav some dyslexia #as a treat <3 #...for me not for him

*starts sniffling again* 'm sorry...

... you have nothing to apologize for.

....I can't even look at you.... I.... *dry sob* it's like I'm there again.....

*very softly* On my worst days, I can't look at myself, either. I understand. I don't blame you. It will pass, with new memories.

*gasps at the sensation, his fingers twisting in Dalinar's coat* I... I.... y-yes.... w-what is that? It feels... *trails off*

It's our Connection. I'm sending you some of my feelings towards you. It's the easiest way for me to make it... tangible, for other people.

That's only... some of it? I... it's so much. *his eyes are starting to water again* It's.... so soft... and warm....

Do you know how to focus on your Connection to your spren?

Gav... I don't think any of us could let you go. Our family is a stubborn lot. They're... very good at forcing people to accept help.

*he considers for a moment* What if you... let go of Oathbringer for a little while? Not forever, if you don't want to, but until you have better control of yourself?

*stiffens* I... I can't. What if someone attacks Mother? Or Adolin? Or Renarin? Or you? Or Den? I... I need to be able to protect people.

Most of us are very capable at protecting ourselves, or at the very least difficult to hurt. You could carry a regular sword, for the time being. And... hm. Perhaps I could find a way to teach you how to call me to you in an emergency. Then I could do the protecting for you.

*without emotion* Mother died. You left her alone and she died. Easily. *he tenses up further* Who's in Urithiru? Who's protecting her?

*he flinches, then takes a deep breath*

... the Sibling protects everyone. And there's all our Radiants. The Windrunners.

...And they'll look after her? Promise?

Of course.

#gavinor rp #if dalinar says she's fine gav trusts him!#he wasn't trying to be mean by bringing elhokar up. he didn't consider how that would make dalinar feel :(#i think he might try to give oathbringer to adolin #because he helped maya so maybe he can help oathbringer's spren too

You're hardly more dangerous than I am. You just... need time to learn. No one ever taught you how to be anything else. That can and will change.

*numbly* I almost killed some people who were helping. When Kat tried to stop me, I almost killed them too.

... almost distinguishes between possibility and reality. You had a friend with you to help. A friend capable enough to stand against you.

What if there hadn't been? What if Kat hadn't been fast enough and I'd killed them? ....I want to go... away... Where no can find me and I can't hurt anyone. I thought it would be safe if I was here.... I thought I could help....

*continues crying, having gone mostly limp in Dalinar's arms*

*he stays as he is, holding him protectively, breathing steady and calm*

*Cries for a while longer. Eventually the sobs fade and turn into occasional sniffles. Gav's voice is quiet.* Did you come here looking for me?

... no. I would have, but something else happened first. We moved out to help these people.

I heard. I was helping with it too but.... *his voice catches* I'm too dangerous to help anyone....
