So spend your hours on What you think I've done wrong I know I'm in your mind I've been here way too long I want to spend my life With those who've done me right Your heart is frozen over I'm a four-leaf clover
The creature doesn't turn its head, but its teeth part as it begins to inhale deeply as if tasting the air. It begins to shift, its leather-covered fingertips dragging across the ground. "What is this?" comes its deep, gravely voice, echoing loudly in the oversized helm. It brings the sandwich up to the opening in the helmet, tasting its scent. "Dear me... I haven't smelled good sourdough in decades. The King has provided for me again, through the hands of strangers." He smells it again. "But of what sort? I smell... wood. Silver. A blight? No, no earthiness. Wait..."
He sniffs the air again, slowly turning his head toward the doll. "I see thee. A... radiance. Are you an angel? Sent by the Kind One?"
She turns, tilting her head. "Oh dear no honey, I ain't one of the winged creatures!" She laughed lightly, the sound of rustling twigs can be heard "No no, I ain't from heaven or the above, but I hear its right lovely up there."
She points to the sandwich "and you got a good nose on you honey, I try and make my bread fresh rather than buy it two days old from a store!" She then points to the bottle "That's peach tea, ain't nothing special but I think it tastes right good."
The creature shifts, moving his helmet so that he can see the bottle at his feet. "Brilliant. I used to be a baker myself. They do terrible things in those little workshops. They brick you in next to the ovens, mix things in with the flour so it burns to the touch, then give you nothing but rotgut to sustain you... but I have been Saved from that life." He seems proud of this last statement, despite still clearly being imprisoned and tortured in one way or another. "Your kindness alone sustains me more than any food can." He breaks the sandwich in half and offers one half to her. "My purpose now is to Save others, so they may go to Carcassonne when they die, made perfect as the gilded cobblestones they walk on."
(I have spent a good half a day trying to solve technical issues)
*Evening Luna :)*
(how are you doing?)
*eh, got done a long shift and my feet hurt.*
(sorry to hear that)
*Ain't your fault hon*

"Carcassonne.. the name feels familiar but it's is foggy, behind the mists of my mind. Wasn't what it once was after all!" She chuckled and sits down, taking the half that was given to her "We ain't much in this world without a little kindness honey. Being cruel and mean comes easy, dying is easy, killing is easy, but being kind and caring to others is a challenge and one I will readily keep working at."

The figure goes silent, enjoying the moment for a while. "You really must be an angel, as I am. Rare as we are, made still rarer by our poor memories. Few remember Carcassonne anymore. As angels ourselves, I doubt we'll ever see it. But we can still learn, as any child of the King can. And isn't that a beautiful thing? Our souls can grow and adapt. But yes, a curse it is as well. Some souls grow twisted, and must be pruned and cared for, as mine has been." He sighs and plucks a sausage off of his sword and places it in his half of the sandwich before carefully maneuvering the upgraded edible into the hole in his helmet.
"I think that people should be cared for when they stumble into sin, helped up instead of beaten down. That's what I think would have helped me most. I turned out fine, mostly, but my prisonmates were all miserable and tormented. I had to Save them after the guards executed them." He takes a sip of peach tea. "Such a sad... sad day."

She listens and tilts her head, he gets a sense that she is smiling despite having no features under that mask "Honey, I feel a lot of people share your values. While I cannot say that my values align with yours, it doesn't mean I am going to hunt you down or call you names or say you are wrong. Personally.. and I know this will sound rough, I feel as though the people who end up engulfed by flames shouldn't be helped.. they made their choice and while I do feel sympathy for them, I just feel like once you get twisted in the briars, it's hard to get out." She sighs, her shoulders slumping.

The blind monster thinks on that for a moment. "Everyone can be redeemed. Sometimes, it's just not while they're alive. Carcassonne makes everything perfect. I can Save the dead. I can Save anybody!" He abruptly stands up, pointing his sword into the air. "Salvation is a right, my dear girl! The King has made this clear to me when he divested me of my mortality! The idea that anyone should be damned is such a sad one, and an arbitrary one at that! All transgression is sin, even if we don't see it as such! All sin leads to death, so says the Kind One! Death eternal, in the flames of the underworld! But if you could purify every one of those rotting, worthless people, if it were as easy as pie, wouldn't you? Purge them of all their sins! Oh, yes! Purge them all!"
He cackles into the air. She suddenly gets a feeling from him. He is filled with evil. Enough evil to spawn a demon. Many, even. Thousands of clashing evils, sins that contradict each other, a gargantuan potluck of foulness. Whatever this thing is, it certainly isn't an angel.

So spend your hours on

I know I'm in your mind
I've been here way too long
I want to spend my life
With those who've done me right
