[ thankfully this story is a specific part of his lore so i was prepared LOL
as he finishes the story, taair leans back, hands folding in his lap. he knows the details of this story so, so intimately - recited not from his written book, but from his memories. it is the core of so, so many things, and in the horrors of this place, it resonates. the feeling of pushing back against something powerless, over and over, and finally - finally succeeding.
he turns to look at fidelio and matches his smile. soft and warm, exhausted from the proceedings, but genuine. ]
It was my pleasure. [ truly. ] ...I have studied the histories of my nation for years, now, but this story has stayed with me the longest. With the pressure of the Papal States' propaganda, every time I tell it, it is another little link in the chain that keeps their memory alive.
There is much to be said, I believe, for struggle. Even when it feels futile.
