[ she is coming to find laudna and make sure she has been swamped. where you at. ]

[undread]

[she has been swamped but i don't know the effect yet. anyway, she's just recovering somewhere. her emotional state is messy, a mix of sadness and fear and resentment, but she cheers up a little to see ashlyn.]

...You came.

[killies]

Yeah? I wanted to check on you and see what happened.

[undread]

That makes me so happy.

[the emotion is like, desperately happy that ashlyn was worried about her.]

[killies]

[ she is just ??? and worry, here. ]

O...kay...? So what happened?

[undread]

It was a pageant. I really wanted to win, and I did win.

[so she feels good about that!]

...Even if Astarion is pretending he won.

[killies]

How do you get that hurt at a pageant...?

[undread]

Because Astarion shot me.

[for no reason. so resentful.]

[killies]

... Over a pageant?!

[undread]

He was jealous because I was winning.

[the emotion of it's so important to her ashlyn agrees she should win.]

[killies]

[ unfortunately, even knowing that this is probably an effect of the cyoa does not give ashlyn more tact so: ]

That's stupid.

[undread]

...No it wasn't.

[defensive.]

[killies]

Yeah, it probably doesn't feel like it right now...

[undread]

It was just... it was important to win, and they had high expectations.

[killies]

Well. Congratulations on winning, then.
