#unless the dlc coincidentally gives me exactly that skjgs which i doubt

[rivilu]

see i'm not even opposed to the concept of canon/trickster Ellu surviving but the thing is in order for it to happen there would need to be a second vulnerable conversation regarding his side of things. where he couldn't lie his way out of it either. So basically he's fucked

#unless the dlc coincidentally gives me exactly that skjgs which i doubt #it's only something that'd be achievable in a fic world where Daeran has his own sidequest he's doing in the sidelines kjdfg #he's the one that romances the kc after all might as well be paying attention #succeed any one in a series of really high dc (but decreasing through the course of the game) hidden perception checks to trigger a convo- #where he can corner the little fucker into admitting the council thing and all but say out loud he's going to throw himself into the wound #from that point on convincing him not to do it wouldn't be That hard. frankly the noticing itself is half the battle #from then on the more time they got left till threshold the easier the convincing would be but tbh again the bar isn't that high #even if he noticed at the very last moment in the room with areelu- if he said something he could sway him with little effort #cause again ellu doesn't WANT to die/get shyka'd he's just completely guilt ridden about the council- #the essences he got already and on top of that he's just convinced he'd never get a happy ending #which gets sadder the more you think on the fact that he has reality altering powers <3 and yet #anyway yes that fic exists in my head but it'll never be put to paper because writing canon characters scares me
