December FamMeet
Who: The Grove
What: Town Hall
When: Mid-Late December
Where: Inn Lobby
Warnings: Child death mentions, torture, body horror all probably will be brought up.
[ In the morning, Irene will trek around the Grove to knock on doors and let everyone know she's setting up a information sharing meeting in the Inn's lobby. She figures there would be best, considering the new fireplace (thread pending on my behalf) set up and the fact it's about as safe as they're going to get.
Irene also lets everyone know that any fights and any blatant drama starters will be met with punishment. She doesn't elaborate on this further. Zahliya is invited. Irene tells Moder if she wants to sit by the door to listen, she can. She does not invite the merchant siblings, however - though she'll make no objections if someone else does.
She seems to be writing things down in their shared journals this meeting so people can reference this later. ]

[Vash holds both of his hands out to her. It's a peaceful, placating gesture.]
Humans have drained my kind dry for a century. They've been mutilated and tortured by us. Some... some of us even did horrible things back. [He is being purposefully vague.] And as a result, the humans became more reliant, and drained our kind even more. So we got angrier and -
[Vash's laugh is a sad one.]
It's a cycle, Irene. You see that, right? For me and for you.
[His piece having been said, Vash now wraps his arms around himself. He closes his eyes and draws in a deep breath.]
I want you to think about that, okay? Remember what every action brings next. As for me... I think I'm gonna head to bed.

[ There's no real response to this. Rather, she stares at the fire flaring up in the fireplace. Part of her wants to argue that this is a war they started, and were she the same Irene from a year ago, she would've thrown that back at Vash immediately.
Now, though? Vash has got a point.
... Maybe when things are less tense, she'll apologize for calling him stupid. ]

UM. [ A pause, she trembles slightly. A hand to her chest as she looks towards Vash hoping he would listen to her. ] W-What you said back there.... Thank you... P-Please... Keep... Saying those things... And... Helping others, overcome themselves... [ And because this was personally all too much for her, and unbeknownst to all. A very sensitive thing to her, old memories brought to mind eat away at her chest. A Fire Druid looking down at her, and saying he would raze the whole continent before he would care to save a single soul over the many. Caoimhe then, apologizes profusely and scurries away back into the room where the rest lingered within. ]

Of course. I'll never stop spreading the message of love and peace. [He twists his middle and forefinger across one another, forming a heart with them.] You just keep on keeping on, okay?
