It was... interesting.

All of this is a luxury. How much of it do we take for granted? How much of it do we eventually feel we deserve instead of earning the privilege?
It's not a right. It's a convenience.

I'm beginning to wonder exactly how right I was.

He's a wolf in disguise,
But I can't stop staring in those evil eyes.

Voile, what do you speak of? What has driven this revelation?

[reservedempath]

[Jdsahdqyd89uyw.

He's calling her by name.]

Are... you worried?

[will_be_god]

Simply curious. Humor me.

[reservedempath]

I'm not a very funny person.

[will_be_god]

That is not what I mean. In this usage, I am asking you to simply answer me to sate that curiousity.

[reservedempath]

I knew what you were asking me.

[will_be_god]

I see. And what is your answer?

[reservedempath]

I think you sound worried.

[will_be_god]

I asked about your words. What do they mean? What have you found to bring perspective into question, and what facilitated that revelation?

[reservedempath]

You're being very stubborn, Cyrus. I think I'd like some incentive before I answer anything for you.

...

*if she's close enough to feel his emotions, there's a slight swell of rage and confusion. Mostly confusion, although the rage is intense for a brief flash. If she's not close enough, disregard*

I simply inquired as to the meaning of your entry, made for all eyes. Nothing more.

[reservedempath]

...

[Yeah. She senses that.]

Isn't it more exciting not to always know what I'm thinking? We can be like real people. We can learn about each other the way people are supposed to.

[Except Voile always cheats and pries into his emotions.]

[will_be_god]

You say it publically and claim that I am stubborn for asking for clarification.

*good thing he doesn't know she's doing it since he doesn't know where she is*

[reservedempath]

Did it occur to you that I'm being difficult for you on purpose?

[will_be_god]

I see. It had not, although I expect it from others.

*now even more confusion, along with a sudden weariness followed by rage, but directed internally this time*

[reservedempath]

I'm sorry for upsetting you. I only want you to understand me. That means accepting me for all that I am. When you can do that, I'll be yours.
