[ flat will be approaching rochalizo in the dead of the night, with a glass of water. ]

Hey, Rocha. Or Rocher? I don’t know what sounds better for you. Rochalizo’s too long.

[ a pause. ]

Rochy? Anyways, how are you feeling?

[allyship]

[...]

Does it matter?

[escardos]

Of course it does! Your health still matters, even if you’re on death row.

[ he’ll raise the glass of water. ]

I thought you would want some.

[allyship]

[honestly, the funny thing is that rochalizo has already had experience with tampered food/drink in the past few days, so he's learned to be wary.

but also he decides he doesn't really fucking care at this point.]

... Fine, whatever.

[escardos]

…?

[ really? he can just hand it over? ]

Okay, here you go.

[ he really. will just hand him the glass. ]

[allyship]

[do you know how bad rochalizo is at denying requests even on a good day

but he takes it and drinks it, even though he looks like he can't stomach much of anything.]

[escardos]

…

[ wow. that was so easy, it’s almost sad.

flat doesn’t regret his actions, but he might as well give rochalizo a warning, just in case. ]

That was poisoned.

[allyship]

[...

well. okay. he was drugged a few nights ago, so why not escalate?]

... I wasn't going to kill whoever's against me tomorrow, if that was your concern.

[escardos]

Well that makes this worthless.

[ he sits down in front of him, jack fluffing up its wings next to him.

he speaks in a calm tone, the look in his eyes distant. ]

Amatoxins are a type of slow-acting poison that attack your liver, digestive and respiratory systems. I don’t think I gave you enough to kill you, but it’s slow enough that, even with a lethal dose, you’d probably live for two more days.

[ … ]

But it will hurt you a lot in a couple hours, I guess. Did you know they come from mushrooms?

[allyship]

[having this conversation is surreal and he should probably be more alarmed but he has been completely emotionally checked out for a while, so.]

I'm not especially well-versed on poisons.

[escardos]

I am. I studied in the School of Herbology once.

[ …

he tilts his head, observing the other with an emotionless smile ]

If you’re desperate, you could try to throw it up, but it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

[allyship]

... That isn't necessary. I intend to face the consequences of my actions.

[escardos]

…

[ flat nods. ]

This isn’t justice, though. This is just me doing what I feel that I want to do.

[allyship]

... Well, I'm not exactly in a position to condemn anyone for acting justly or unjustly.

[escardos]

I don’t mind if you do.

[ he stands up, and jack flies up to his shoulder. ]

So what now?

[allyship]

What else? I will face my fate tomorrow, and if Susato will let me, I intend to help her continue to pursue the truth until we're all free from these angels or gods or what have you.

[escardos]

…I see.

[ he nods. ]

Then may your death be swift and efficient, Rochalizo. Say hello to Susato and Roxis for me.

[allyship]

We'll see what tomorrow holds.

[he's hoping it'll be quick? but while a part of him goes "people don't care about you so it'll be easy", he can't completely deny that some people have gotten attached to him, even if he can't always understand why.

maybe it'll be better if someone like alisaie is up there tomorrow.]
