[ sylvain waits patiently for his verdict, and he looks visibly relieved to hear it. because if there's anyone's forgiveness he really needs, or at the very least acceptance—it's dimitri's. he's the closest tie he has here. he is his home.
he agrees without hesitation. ]
Of course. I'll die if I have to. But before then, I'll use whatever time I have to fix what I can.
[ He isn't going to reject him. It isn't his place to grant forgiveness—that's on Kaeya and the others—but he is Sylvain's king and friend both. He will accept him until the bitter end.
But even then, shade or not, they have to do something about this. He reaches out to grip Sylvain's arms, squeezing tightly, making no effort to train back his strength this time. ]
No. You will not resign yourself to death. I will allow you to live with guilt and suffer atonement, but you will not seek death as your recourse.
[ It's not allowed. ]
...If possible, I believe we need to warn people that some may not remember the course of Thursday nights.
[ dimitri's grip is bruising, but sylvain doesn't try to break free. ]
I know. I'm not trying to take the easy way out, believe me.
[ just that he isn't going to let any fear of retribution keep him from moving forward. (he doesn't fear it, is the thing.) and he hopes dimitri will remember those words as well. ]
I agree. We can try leaving another anonymous note in the lobby.
