who: Taako & various what: What it says on the tin! Assorted threads for April that don't fit anywhere else when: Aprilllll where: Your mom's bedroom warnings: drugs, booze, probably some slightly nsfw content notes: hmu if you want something
That's life though, isn't it? I could've... I had a chance, to change what happened, when those people died at my show.
[He still doesn't know what the cup showed Merle and Magnus, but he knows that he'd been tempted despite his casual dismissal of the offer when he told them what he'd seen. It wasn't all that selfless, though. He could've saved forty people, but what's more tempting was to have his life back, the one he loved.
Clark's a better person than he is.]
Or to stop what happened in Phandalin. That would've saved hundreds of fucking people, but who knows what else would've changed, what the trade off was. [If they'd stopped the first relic, what other ones would have wrecked havoc.] You spend the rest of your life wondering what could've been and you're not gonna appreciate what's in front of you.
I know. For what it's worth, I think you did the right thing moving on.
[ Taako pretends it doesn't bother him that much but Clark thinks he'd work harder in future. Things don't slide off him as quickly as he wants others to think. ]
If we keep changing everything, it might not stop.
The cup is gone now, destroyed by the Bureau, but it was a tangible temptation that reached out to all of them in different ways. Sometimes he still can't believe that Magnus didn't take it to bring Julia back.]
It seems to me like you've got some pretty good shit to look forward to. I know that doesn't fix the shit you've lost, but it's something.

[ He looks back at the smouldering fire. ]
You're probably starving, I'm sorry. I'll make us something to eat.

Nah, I remember what starving feels like, you're fine.
