Perhaps you ought to have been less adamant about your own monstrous nature.

[auguryofinnocence]

Ah, but that is something you should know to not be left with the wrong impression. Levity still seems to think I am inherently good and kind.

[rainshaveceased]

...That probably cannot be helped.

[auguryofinnocence]

It does seem that way. Obviously you are not so naive. But even so. You should think poorly of me because I am a thoroughly unlikable person, not because I've put my foot in my mouth while trying to do better. There's a difference.

[rainshaveceased]

Duly noted.

I am curious, though - why does my view of you matter so much?

[auguryofinnocence]

Well. Because I am close with the other two parts of your trio, of course. And Levity too.

[rainshaveceased]

And? I cannot imagine them demanding that you befriend me.

[auguryofinnocence]

No, but naturally I would like to? They would like to see you making friends too, they can be very insistent about things like that.

[rainshaveceased]

Doubtless they would have me spending my time relaxing and collecting lovers as they have been.

Unfortunately, I cannot afford myself such distractions.

[auguryofinnocence]

I would not say they have been collecting those. Nor do they simply relax. They work plenty.

[rainshaveceased]

Truly? Could it be they have developed some sense of responsibility in my absence...?

[auguryofinnocence]

Do you think they lazed about even before now? I would not speak of it in public, but really now.

[rainshaveceased]

Admittedly my memories are not entirely clear on the matter, but I do seem to recall Emet-Selch taking very long naps.

[auguryofinnocence]

...He still does that. That's fair.

But it may be the reason he did not end up like Cosmo, so, evidently it was wise. A minimal amount of rest has made him far more capable.

Believe me, I would be the last one to call rest a good thing. But it has been, without getting in the way of work.

[rainshaveceased]

...If you say so.

[in the kind of tone that means he doesn't want to just say no fuck you i will never rest]

[auguryofinnocence]

[Look here you little shit. He waves a hand.]

Regardless. They are well aware of their responsibility, and I won't have you saying they are, or have ever been, lazy.

[rainshaveceased]

[gives a little huff of a chuckle]

And you call me soft-hearted.

[auguryofinnocence]

And what about that is soft-hearted? I am possessive, or protective if you like, but that is far from the same thing.

[rainshaveceased]

I stand corrected. Unfamiliar as I am with demons, it is easy for me to mistake the nature of your affection.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He huffs!]

The nature is inconsequential, there is nothing soft-hearted about noting a fact when I am endeared to only a small handful of people. Soft-heartedness would be endearment and kindness toward many.

[rainshaveceased]

Ah, now I understand. All has become clear.

[auguryofinnocence]

[No bully?????]

Nothing will satisfy you, will it?

[rainshaveceased]

[yes bully]

Surely you must be used to far worse from Lahabrea.

[auguryofinnocence]

Perhaps at first.

He is ruthless. But I have him figured out. There is a reason I told you to come to me if he is being difficult for you.

[rainshaveceased]

I can handle him just fine, thank you.

[please he is my terrible dad i have been dealing with him for millenia???? just because you married him doesn't mean he's yours now?????]
