...um.

[eyeing the sign and debating asking]

[blue_on_deck]

[ask away, woodranger.]

[woodfortono]

...forever? Seems kind of defeatist.

[pushing his hands into his pockets and watching your face]

[blue_on_deck]

Camps words, not mine.

[woodfortono]

Huh. [okay then] ...who's Sid Bamick?

[blue_on_deck]

I told you a little bit about him before. The man who watched out for me in the Zangyack.

[woodfortono]

...ah.

[watches your face for a long moment, chewing his lower lip]

Where is he now?

[blue_on_deck]

. . .

[swallows hard]

He was changed into the cyborg who stays at the prince's side at all times.

[woodfortono]

[well, he doesn't know what prince you're talking about, but 'changed into a cyborg' sounds pretty bad to him]

Oh. [he struggles for a long moment before he looks back up at you] I'm sorry.

[blue_on_deck]

I found this out when Kaoru showed up to test us over the Shinkenger power.

[woodfortono]

He was your mentor, right?

[looking down and trying to think about how he'd feel if something like that happened to jii, his stomach churning sickly]

Can anything be done?

[blue_on_deck]

The only thing that can be done is killing him.

I caused this to happen and now I also have to be the one to kill him.

[woodfortono]

[looks slapped, his eyes jerking back up to yours]

Joe...

[blue_on_deck]

There is no other way to 'save his soul'. I can't do anything.

[woodfortono]

[bites his lower lip hard and sways slightly, debating, but he's made out with you twice, it seems stupid not to offer you a hug. he reaches up and wraps his arms around you, tightening them slowly]

You'll do what you have to. [quietly] And what you think is right. ...and if he cared about you, I can't think he'd blame you for what happened, no matter what.

[blue_on_deck]

[It would be best for the both of us if you ignored that sound against your shoulder. There might or might not be a bit of tears here]
