“Are you afraid of death, Gillian Bo?”Question Ranking: 3 (not his ideal conversation, but he’ll talk about it)

Eyes of the lightest violet peer upwards from his hands, in which a small wooden figured rests amongst calloused fingers of one hand as the other holds a blade to it. For such a small, rough carving, the tiny moogle that the Viera was crafting was exceptionally round; it was almost as though Gillian had taken extra care to capture its form as accurately as possible.

“... Not in... Those exact words, no,” He began slowly, his gaze returning to his whittling, “Pain doesn’t scare me. Darkness don’t scare me neither. Shit’s all a part of life, y’anno? Ain’t like I can avoid it. So no, death doesn’t scare me.” There’s a distinct sound to his words, like a sudden dropoff.

The only sound is the soft scratching of his carving for a couple moments before the man sighs, his broad shoulders dropping slightly. “... But...” His voice wavers momentarily.

“... Leaving Moghrá does.”

“What keeps you up at night, Iro Kazanagi?”Question Ranking: 9 (there’s like two other things you could ask him that would make him this upset Fen what the fuck)

Iro’s mouth is agape as he’s asked such a question, and though the man tries desperately -- desperately, as in with obvious physical effort in the form of a twitching face -- to draw a smile back to his lips, he cannot. The color in his face had drained, bringing forward a contrast to the orange paint that made him almost seem ghastly. 

“ begging -- > “The blood seems to be draining from Iro’s face by the second. Iro, tall and beaming like a lighthouse at any other time, seems small, terrified -- like a child hiding from the monsters in his closet. Had he been able to draw his knees to his chest, he would have.

“ ”

The man’s words break off. A distant look appears in gold eyes now glassy, and not another word can be had from him.
