Events
We need to talk about your habit of volunteering for everything.
“I don’t volunteer for everything. Just dangerous stuff that needs doing.”
Then our conversation should be on that topic.
“I can’t not.”
You are a guest here, Priest.
“Don’t mean I shouldn’t defend them.”
You offend by saying they cannot defend themselves.
“They can’t. Not against Telmori, anyhow.”
Neither can you, it seems.
“They’d have been even worse off without me and Kolyey. And I make a big difference sometimes.”
If you die, what will come of the Hero Cult?
“Dunno. But he said he’d wait until I was ready. Things just happened. He could still be waiting, if they hadn’t, and he’d’ve managed that.”
This is true, I admit. Nevertheless, I think he places high value on your survival.
“And on my actions. You wanna argue about how he feels about me dying, you have to live with the fact it was me going off with a friend that gave me time in the desert that I filled with asking Humakt questions about the Hero.”
I think I see your argument. Doing strange or dangerous things gives good results. Do you know that it also gives bad ones? I cannot tell from context.
“I figure I’ll either die or become a Hero. I’m not going to stop trying.”
Heroes die too.
“I know. I haven’t thought about my next move after that. It seems so far away.”
Priest, allow me for a moment the option of ignoring what you are saying.
Sure. Talk to … later…
