And I think you would be rather upset if I wanted you to be different, truly. Or if not upset, vindicated in that heart of yours that expects betrayal and revulsion for who you are.
Indeed. I suppose I would be the cruel one in that case; to pretend at liking you while pinning some hopes of changing you. No, I have no interest in such things.
I enjoy the time I spend with you simply as it is. You are a fascinating man, and yet a calming one to my weary soul. I do see why Emet-Selch cares so much for you, for you are easy to like.

Re: 278 night
Date: 2020-09-23 05:27 am (UTC)You are far kinder than I.

I am not going to claim you are especially kind. I find your company most enjoyable all the same.
Re: 278 night
Date: 2020-09-23 08:13 pm (UTC)Rather -- if I were much kinder would you find it as enjoyable?
Re: 278 night
Date: 2020-09-23 08:27 pm (UTC)I did meet you as Ardyn. That sacrificial young man with the tragic fate before him.
I liked him well enough but he was not company I would be so at ease with. So I suppose not.
Re: 278 night
Date: 2020-09-23 08:29 pm (UTC)I suppose I should be flattered?

Re: 278 night
Date: 2020-09-23 08:35 pm (UTC)I would not be upset, no, but at this point... I suppose it would be a surprise, for you to like me less for my cruelty.

It is likely no surprise to you that I enjoy the company of both of you quite a bit.

I should hope you do, for the time you spend with us. I do know you are somewhat masochistic but that would be too much.

Date: 2020-09-23 08:54 pm (UTC)But I wonder if you would enjoy it at all? It is nice to have more choice, and more understanding.
Re: 278 night
Date: 2020-09-23 08:58 pm (UTC)Actually, I did charm a great deal of "terrible old men" at home as well. Though none quite as likeable as the both of you.
Re: 278 night
Date: 2020-09-23 09:00 pm (UTC)Though I cannot imagine any being as likable as Emet-Selch and I.
