Everyone believed the Score was absolute... that it was impossible to go against it, and wrong to even try.
But Ion believed the Score was only one possible future of many, and that it was never meant to be a shackle to bind us... and that's what I want to believe, too.
[he halfway starts to reach out, but-- remembers the rust, before he can complete the gesture. last thing he wants is to put her through anything right after that, so he just... lets his hand drop.]
... He was a really gentle person. Sometimes he seemed kind of spaced-out? But he had so many expectations placed on him as the Fon Master that I think he was kind of afraid to express himself...
But when we did get to talk, just the two of us, I could hear how much he really cared about everyone, and everything, and how frustrated he was with the Order, the way things were...
He really wanted a world where people could live more freely.

Were you working for him for a while, already?

[not strange, by city standards, but... still. if she was raised in the religion too, doesn't sound like she probably got a lot of time to be a kid.]
...what was he like? If you wanna talk about him.
