#i'll never be over the cad & essek friendship

[sky-scribbles]

I'm very emotional about Essek quoting Caduceus, because Caduceus said that to Trent. Essek was very much not there. Which means that Cad has said that to Essek on some completely separate occasion! Maybe a moment in the Blooming Grove, Essek quietly gardening, telling Caduceus that he's been so content, lately. And he can't help but feel guilty for that.

And Cad just putting a hand on his shoulder and telling him it's okay. Carrying the pain constantly isn't going to make him any better or more moral. Pain doesn't make people. Love makes people.
