Nott : Do it at Traveler Con. You'll have the Traveler there to guide you.

Fjord : Kill both your parents, it's cool.

ASHLEY: Yeah.

LIAM: I'm sorry.

ASHLEY: Why are you sorry?

LIAM: I see hesitation and regret in you, and it is like a mirror. I know regret, and I regret. I regret. And unless my intuition is very off, you know regret.

ASHLEY: So it never goes away?

LIAM: No. But... it's easier with people around you, to make you feel more like you.

ASHLEY: I feel a little bit like the forgiveness is almost harder to deal with. I feel like anger is an emotion that I know how to deal with because that's where I live. But I feel like with everyone being so nice and accepting, I don't know how to handle it. I know I'm not handling it well, but I'm trying.

LIAM: Caleb is spinning a diamond over and over and over and over and over and over in his hand. I don't think we can. But... while we are never going to wash our hands, we can use them to leave something better in the world. And maybe the curtain never rises from our eyes, but what else do we do? You either lose yourself to it and forget, or you do your part. They're pretty– and he looks around at them all– they're pretty great. I don't deserve them.

ASHLEY: Do you love her?

LIAM: Who?

ASHLEY: I don't need to tell you who. (Long pause) I'm sorry, I– As someone who has lost someone that they love very much, I know how important it is to say things before it is too late.

LIAM: (whispering) It's too late, Yasha. It's too late.

ASHLEY: Maybe not. I don't know.

There's a storm brewing.

Inktober day eight! Prompt: watch

"You want to just have a drink and watch from the hill?"

"Sure."

"All right."

[ID: three images of an Indian ink and watercolour drawing of Beau and Yasha from Critical Role, with the rest of The Mighty Nein in the background. The second and third images are close ups of the first. It shows a scene from episode 92. Beau and Yasha are sitting and talking casually on the op of a grassy hill at night. They look at each other with fond smiles. In front of them Fjord and Caduceus are strolling down the hill. Caduceus is lighting his way with his staff. At the bottom of the hill stand Jester and Nott - they only just notice that Jester has been shot by an arrow. Off to the side Capeleb is rummaging through a pile of animal skins that lay abandoned by a campfire. Off in the distance three men run away from the Mighty Nein, as fast as their feet can take them. /End ID]

"I agree."
