Show of hands, how many of us have died already? These portraits can't threaten us with our own deaths if we've already experienced them.

[ and he raises his hand in demonstration ]

[mustbepurged]

Huh? Um...

[Estelle raises her hand, like, just a little. It would be easy to miss if not for the very nervous look on her face.]

[dms]

What?! No, I haven't died!

[ he's just? staring at estelle and bucky in alarm?! and then at sylvain like "are you hearing this??? it's not just me, right???" ]

[philandery]

Me neither! I don't wanna die!

[ he stands a little closer to kazu. kazu is sylvain's new brother. ]

[ YOU WOULD ABANDON YOUR BROTHER IN DEATH?? YOUR TWIN????? ]

Alright, well, I've done it three times now, I'm not scared of seeing a fourth. I can take the lead on looking at pictures, and you guys can watch for any...demon stuff happening elsewhere.

[mustbepurged]

[three times??? bucky? are you okay?]

W... wow, I don't think I could be that brave...

... It'll be okay so long as we dispatch the demon before any predicted deaths can become a reality, right?

[dms]

I feel like you should be a little scared?

[ like? hello? someday it's going to stick?? ]

...I can try having my demons take a look around, in case there's anything weird besides the paintings.

[ he is tired, though, and not sure how long he can hold a summon tonight. but he's doing his best not to show that, so he can still be helpful. ]

[philandery]

...Estelle's right. I'm sure it's another demon that's causing problems. We take down the demon, and nobody has to die, or sacrifice themselves.

[ bucky pls stop dying sir. and estelle is NOT allowed to die!! she isn't!!!

nodding at kazu, ] Good thinking. Maybe they can sniff out trouble and warn us in advance. But take it easy, yeah...?
