Mmm ... I have a lot of complicated feelings about giving people another chance, but sometimes ... sometimes there comes a point where you have to put your foot down.

... And we'd more than reached that point the first time we killed Nyssa. [ UGH. ] We really thought that was the end of it all, but then there was that thing in the Temple and we found a fragment of her working hard to infect my heart. Ugh. [ UGHHHHHH. ]

[ Ruffles!! Her wings!!! ]

Ha. That's fine. I'm very, very, very grateful you lent it to me, and I don't know if I'd have been able to break through her shields without it, but.

I'm -

I'm okay with being myself, with the power that I have. I just gotta learn to make the most of it.

I would murder someone for a peanut, so I can't really say I can understand having that much mercy.

People like her can never be trusted to just stay dead. It always requires being thorough.

The Samadhi Fire is a reality nuke, so its really for the best to be content with your power. Its really only in times where someone is essentially cheating that I really miss having it. My normal fire is usually more than enough.

Re: Elevator

[bluediligence]

It balances out. You've got people who help temper the murder impulses, and I've got people who help temper the ... [ gestures ]

[ self-sacrificial doormat impulses??? ]

Your normal fire is ...

... Why do I feel like I did something dumb-?

Re: Elevator

[forgingfires]

Less temper as more some kind of leash of morality. [MK does SO MUCH for his moral compass right now.]

Did you do something dumb?

Re: Elevator

[bluediligence]

Oooohhhh. Yeah, that's sometimes my role, too. The outsourced morality. [ Nod, nod. ] It's a whole thing in my social circle.

[ She knows the kind of people she's surrounded by, okay. ]

Aaaand ... I.

Don't know? [ Rubs her temple. ] Something about your fire. I don't really remember though ...

Re: Elevator

[forgingfires]

Really?

There was a lot of fire. My fire is different from the Samadhi Fire. That is...complicated. Unstable. My fire is fine though. As long as I meditate regularly, its under control.

Re: Elevator

[bluediligence]

Mm. Sometimes. Less often these days, maybe, but I'm generally the one scruffing my loved ones before they go for the throat. [ IT'S. A WHOLE. THING. ] Or go too ham on the less violent shadiness.

[ ?? ... ? ]

Yeah. Um ... [ Brows furrow. ] It ... feels like I know the difference, because I've felt the difference. And the lines between us ... did get really blurry in there.

I remember feeling like my Summer magic was like a little candle next to your big flamethrower. Ah, not in a bad way? You're a prince with centuries of experience; I'm a nineteen year old human-pigeon who's had fire magic for less than six months. That's where the feeling I did something dumb somewhere is coming from.
