Sleepover before the storm

Characters: [OU] Xion, Excalibur, and whoever comes
Setting: Floor 101
Format: Whatever floats your boat
Summary: It's the night before the infiltration. People are plotting, discussing, and Xion has brought a Dream Eater so those who want to try to get a good night's sleep have a marginally higher chance of doing so. So in short it's a Tower-flavored sleepover. Bring your own pillows.
Warnings: Nothing in the top level. Will try to edit if anything changes but if something comes up in one of your threads make sure to add a warning in the subject line

======================

[Standard mingle post procedure. Make your top levels. Tag around. Have fun. Or not, this is Animus after all.

Notes will have been passed out and quiet discussion gone around by word of mouth, just saying that several people were spending the night in the hidden floor. Anybody who spoke to Xion would have been told that she's trying to figure out a way everybody can get a good night's sleep. You'll need to supply your own blankets and pillows but... hey, at least if you have trouble sleeping, you'll have company?

Note that any characters who sleep on the Hidden Floor, if they normally suffer from nightmares will likely have notably lessened or absent nightmares (up to your discretion) owing to the Dream Eater that Xion has brought with.]

I... [Grainne trails off, unsure of what to say or do. It isn't like anything she has had to deal with in her lifetime. The land had been threatened many times by war and strife but never complete oblivion like this.

But... there is something that seems familiar about it.]

I do not know what to say, Lady Hilda. It sounds so similar to stories I have heard, of one land conquering another for resources and riches or just to sustain their own, killing the people... It... just sounds like a war of a different nature. And to save your land... surely they would understand the desire to save it, at least.

[She's getting confused though, and she shakes her head. A few words won't make anything right, not for something that important.]

But why would anyone create a land that relied on a golden treasure to sustain it? A world is not a bridge that requires a keystone... there must be some way to fix your world after you return.

This question would be best asked to our Gods. Many believe they cursed us with the Triforce, and sometimes...

[ She couldn't help but agree. This didn't really change anything either way. ]

None of this changes what I have done. I see you are perturbed by what I said-- And yet, you are foreign to the world of Hyrule. Imagine the reaction of someone who would know the meaning behind what I did.

[ She turned away then. She felt the weight of what she had done worsening with every words, speaking of this had been a mistake. Even if she knew it was justified... ]

I'll-- Be taking my leave. But... Thank you.

No, Hilda! [Grainne reaches out an hand to stop her.] Do not leave in sadness... I... you had good reason. If anything can be said about you... it is that you loved your people. That is never a bad thing for a ruler. There are so many who do not, that do worse for more selfish reasons.

Please don't...

[She looks upset now, worried for her friend and what damage she caused with her words.

Why does she keep making this mistake? After all the times her words had caused harm, she should have learned by now... if only she had been granted the wisdom of her father.]

[ They probably both lacked in wisdom, but Grainne's words had done no harm to her. She shook her head though. ]

This is never a bad thing, least it leads to madness and destruction. Your intentions are kind, but I do not wish to be excused for what I have done.

[ She paused for a second and thought. ]

If it had been you, would you forgive yourself so easilly?

Ah... I am one of those people that have done things for far more selfish reasons.

[Grainne deflates, already knowing the answer, not even stumbling over the words.]

Through my actions, I have gotten many innocent men and women killed who had no stake in the situation save the unfortunate fact of who they were allied with and it ended with all that had transpired in vain.

If I were in your place, I cannot honestly say if I would or not... I only know that I could not for what I have already done, and that is why I am in this form now.

Knowing myself, I can take a guess and say that yes, I would have forgiven, if it was for a reason like saving a kingdom. I... have done many "necessary" things since starting my war to receive the power to save the person I was trying to save. Those actions do not bother me so much.
