  1. Alas not. He was a human born on Ashyn prior to the exodus of human to Roshar. https://coppermind.net/wiki/Ishar
  2. My tears fall freely now as her emotions are set free. I swallow the razors that cut at me. Gingerly I pull Fox into my embrace."I forgive you with all of my soul. You did what you had to. I will heal in time. What matters most is that you are no longer alone in your pain." Nothing but love and care fill my voice as I speak. I seek to soothe the storm tossed seas and hold back the shattering of worlds. I hold her as tightly as I dare. The dulling of the pain compounds the longer that I shoulder a part of her burden. I let out an involuntary shudder as the exhaustion sets in. My every cell screams as a strange sort of fatigue takes hold. No words come to me. Every thought is lead sinking in the ocean. I sag and my eyes flutter closed. With a surge of will I wake and my blood becomes an ocean of solid ice. I feel different and I gasp as I realize why. She actually did it! She dared defy the council. When I get my hands on her... "Now I too know what you felt Fox. I am mortal." My waves of love do not cease, but beneath terror grips me in a vise. I look at Fox and hold her tighter still.
  3. What is why are you holding a terrier under your arm? Professor and Sierra.
  4. I take a calming breath coughing all of the while. I give her a wan smile the shows my pain. "What do you feel? The confusion. The memories. The emotions. They are yours to command. Reach into your mind. Block out all else. Immerse yourself in your depths. Let yourself be guided." Some of my pains fade, but I fear she may have cracked a rib. I let all that I am rush through her. I send as much calming warmth and love as I can manage. I begin to shiver as weakness begins to set in.
  5. "It leads you Fox not in contradictory directions, but toward the truth. There is so much more to all stories than simply what lies on the surface. Let it guide you. Look to what it tells you. Not just the words, but the deeper things. The truths that it tries to show you." Again I cough fire playing me like an instrument. I do not wince. The pains washes away as I force it down. I try to stand, but I cannot. "Fox yours is strength. You knew caution and let it guide you. Fear may have been your companion, but judgement was your power. I trusted you with the cursed knife because I knew that you would have the judgement to use it well. I never had a daughter Fox. Had I had one I imagine that she would have been very much like you. You are strong because you know how to survive. You know how to thrive. Tell me now. What deeper truth does your soul tell you?" I wince and cough again. "It is not the heart which is fallible only what we read in it. I conquered my demons can you conquer yours?"
  6. Winning like the the rest of you.
  7. I keep silent as Fox delivers a harsh blow to my ribs which knocks the air out of my body. I see the hate in her eyes and something else too. Curiosity comes alive in her eyes. The slightest hint of desire. She saw the world through my eyes and we wanted more. Despite my pain I sit up straight and keep my eyes on her. I slow my tears and take in a deep breath. The ache in my body forgotten. I reveal no pain at all. It fades as I project to her the truth. Love, Warmth, and concern flow to her. "Fox, you saw the truth. Those memories were mine. There are no words in all the world which could do justice to the truth. Even if there were words are cheap enough things. Promises made and promises broken exist in this world. Trust should be earned." I pause and let out a slightly pained cough. "My words should not be enough Fox. Only your heart can reveal the truth. You can see through lies and you keep the fellowship grounded. Yours is a perception that I speak to. Does any of this make sense? When we met you were running from your pain. Now you are running to inflict it. Be your own ruler Fox. Let no mere words dictate to you the truth. " I break the floodgates and open myself to her. I speak into her mind. "Where do the lies reside? Let not mere words be enough. I'm not asking for you to take me on my word. I'm asking you to trust yourself."
  8. What is the horror version of working for Carvel? Palermo, Oslo, Nairobi
  9. Pain races through my face as Fox's knee smashes into my jaw. My head snaps back as lightning arcs through me. More tears run out of my eyes, but I remain strong. I increase the flow of warm light flowing into Fox. I take a shaky breath and calm myself. "Ask yourself this Fox, If I'm lying why give you the knife. If I wanted to kill you why didn't I? I care about you more than you can imagine." My jaw burns and yet my voice stays soft. "Fadran and the others they are waiting for us to return to them. Your demons did not go away Fox. I suspect that I have become your demon." With a pained thought I transform the knife into a short-sword. "If you want to cause me pain perhaps that will serve you well." I reach out to the ingot of light that I gave to her is iunfolds filling her with true knowledge of my being. "I have never lied to you. If I have failed it was in not showing you that you are not alone. I bore your pain only a short time ago. Would that I could shoulder this burden with you again." My tears continue to fall and my control starts to slip. I keep a tight reign on the gates. "Fox if I could show you more than I have that you are not alone in your pain I would. The ingot which is filling you is all that I can offer. There exists no more knowledge of me in existence than what you now have. Blame me if you want to blame someone. Use the sword and take your revenge if you believe that I indeed deserving of it." I bare my neck. "The pain cannot control you if you do not let it. If killing me will help you get by do it."
