my heart is a furnace

Who: Fox and Caedra (edit: plus whoever's here for the fallout!)
What: For all Caedra's done to make the residents of Hadriel suffer, Fox takes revenge.
Where: The north island
When: Post-monster event, nighttime
Warnings: Violence, body horror, mentions of character death, allusions to childhood abuse.


It's a dangerous plan. Fox knows it is, but he knows he's all out of other options. So with the ring given to him by Rage hanging around his neck, and his katana in hand, the masked teenager has to face the confrontation that's been eating away at him for months. He hasn't even sent a calling card-- he's not stealing a heart this time, and while this may be about justice, he's acting alone, not on the behest of the Phantom Thieves.

It takes time to track down Caedra: her movements are unpredictable, and it's made all the more difficult by the city being split into islands, and by his preference to move under the cover of darkness. After a few nights of unsuccessful searching, he manages to track her down to one of the rocky beaches where they're surrounded by sea -- where there's nowhere for her to run except to the water, or through him.

He steels himself, and emerges from the shadows, eyes bright with anger behind his kitsune mask.

"Caedra! Your cruelty ends here."

We're friends. Who sleep together sometimes. [a pause] My first time with another woman, actually, so it's kind of, y'know. Complicated.

[maybe she threw herself into things too quickly, still too sore from having lost Dan, but she can't turn back time, can she?]

...I'm not in love with her or anything. But, she's my best friend here. I don't make friends easy.

Then in many ways you and I are in a similar position.

[Though of course there are, well, variations in their circumstances. Also he is not certain that 'best friend' is how he would have phrased it in regards to his own relationship to Caedra, but for the moment the point is not worth making.]

I believe you will find it most helpful when dealing with Caedra to not allow yourself to have...well... high expectations for what you will get in return for your friendship.
