[Well like some of that he expected more or less since he knows about the games and all but. Sure didn't know Emet told him. Or about fighting with Five. Let's, uh, take it from the top?]

...I see. Well, as far as I can tell Jason does that all the time, if you don't hate Five then you can't hate each other, and you are most certainly not in some imagined false reality though such ideas can be tempting in traumatic situations.

[weenwoon]

...Just because he doesn it all the time doesn't mean that it's--alright. And fine, it's Five who hates me. Or if you want we can amend it all to "dislike each other strongly".

[He polarizes a random pebble to his hand to yeet into the distance.]

And I don't know about that last part. It would explain a number of things.

[auguryofinnocence]

A convenient explanation, but isn't that a disservice to the rest of us, then? To merely be inventions of your mind.

[weenwoon]

If you are real, yes. If you are not, no.

[auguryofinnocence]

Well I can assure you I am real. Do you think your mind would come up with all this? Perhaps a concept such as this place, but something like my family?

[weenwoon]

[Okay, that gets a small smile from him.]

I don't know. If I had, you would probably have been a little taller.

[auguryofinnocence]

That's right, shouldn't we all be fifteen feet tall if that is what you're used to? At the least I should be taller than you.

[weenwoon]

Why do you think you'd be taller than me?

[auguryofinnocence]

Because.

[He said so. What else do you need.]

[weenwoon]

[don't be five at him!!!!]

That's not an argument. Besides, I was taller than Alexander.

[auguryofinnocence]

Alexander is only that tall because of the particular form he inhabits now. If I scaled to the height of your people I would clearly be taller than most, given my human form is taller than most humans.

[weenwoon]

Most, not all.

[auguryofinnocence]

Most, yes. It is extremely rare, however. I stand by my assessment.

[weenwoon]

Well. Whatever makes you happier.

[auguryofinnocence]

Good. You should know I'm always right.

[weenwoon]

[Do Not Be Five. He winces.]

...Please don't start.

[auguryofinnocence]

What?

[weenwoon]

You sound like Five.

[auguryofinnocence]

Well first of all of course I do, we are much the same but in particular hard headedness is a Taisho trait.

More importantly, do I sound terribly serious?

[weenwoon]

Not really, but he sounds like he's just being half-sarcastic most of the time, too. Which is partly why things turned out like this.

[He's going to find something else to fling into the distance. He's just kinda been out here disconsolately throwing pebbles and various debris from his pockets into the sunset.]

But I admit, it sounds comforting rather than insulting from you.

[auguryofinnocence]

"Half-sarcastic" is really just condescending. I find it endearing on him but I suppose that wouldn't be the case when it is being directed at you.

[weenwoon]

Well, I assume he's not blaming you for things you haven't even done yet and may not do at all.

[auguryofinnocence]

[Hmmmm he can guess what that's about and well. Considering his first thought on meeting Levity was "we should have killed him before they found out about him"....... Ascian stans are just like this okay? Please understand.]

"Yet" and "may" are key words there. Perhaps not to outright place blame. But you must understand why he is on edge about it.

[weenwoon]

I do, but I want him to understand that that's not helping at all. Because it just makes me feel that in the end I will turn my back on Alexander, whether I want to or not. Like it's inevitable.

[auguryofinnocence]

I'm sure he knows it isn't helping anything. That also doesn't do anything to quell that fear, however.
