hi hi it's anon who suggested 6 for cerus ohh my god. that was amazing? not for cerus obvs but your writing never fails to make me go :o !! and what durragan said about the healer not being in for another 2 days made me think like would the miners be keener to hurt cerus right before the healer arrived? that cerus would both dread and look forward to the day, seeing as the hours preceding it would be the most miserable he'd ever have to face? that he would try to make himself as quiet and as scarce as possible, knowing full well it would never ever work? :3
Thank you!! And that's the case a lot of the time. Knowing they can't kill him, they'll "go easy" on him if it'll be a few days before the healer shows. They mean ones get much meaner the day before (or even the day of) the healer's arrival.
Cerus really tries to stay out of everyone's way on any day, but no matter what he does, he can't escape it. They'll always find some excuse to punish him, especially when one of them has had a bad day. And if the healer's due, it's no holds barred.
