( her first immediate thought is that dani will be furious with her. dani, the only living creature in this world who matches her, arrakis' two twin suns made of the same power. her second immediate thought is that she shouldn't care, despite it; even then, her eyes run hot, pressing back a sting. )
I understand. I'll wait for you.
( she blows out a breath, steadies herself. even now, she can't say it would be the same for her and her own. alia, who has little idea of what alina is planning just yet. paul, who would take matters into his own hands to extract the truth, were she to explain it. )
If I asked you to name the others of your kind, would you? Not those you trust, but those who haven't earned it.
( he's taken a minute to have his conversation with Dani. it's hard to convince Dani, but he does eventually.
that's when he checks back and sees the message. )
I would, but I fear they may be ones you already know. I only know them because of that recent party, where many others saw them as well.
If you do not know them, I can recount the ones I witnessed there. But I promise, I am not hiding one I do not trust that I also know exists. I simply think some do not trust my own openness, and I do not fault them that.
Those are the most I can name. And Armand, Lestat, and Astarion are ones I cannot vouch for.
I have told no souls of what you can do, save for Dani. And I only told him after we discussed it. This includes any of those I trust, I have also not told.
I promise this on my life, Alina. The very life I'm bringing to your doorstep now if you doubt it at all.
( Lexi isn't that much longer before he finds Alina's room. he had finished his conversation with Dani and was on his way to her room when the next texts had come.
he hates this. not what he's doing. he wouldn't have offered if he didn't mean it. he hates that it needs to be done. that this house has done this to them. that someone did this to her.
time for him to fucking man up and be a respectable person for once. maybe some regrets about not getting his shit together earlier, but better late than never or some shit like that.

I'll be there shortly.
I will be telling Dani first. I would not like to frighten him if I suddenly were to disappear. But I will be certain to tell him this is my choice.
I am only letting you know this because I made a promise not to hide things from Dani. And I do not want to go back on that so soon.

I have doubts Louis would, either. Especially if the two of them are together, from what I've heard.
That leaves Astarion. Lestat.
Did you tell any of them of what I can do?
