What: murder! and i guess bathing

[idk what YOU are doing, but slick has gotten tired of being holed up and has headed downstairs to clear the baths of any renegade bathmonkeys so that he can then enjoy himself in a warm hotspring

he is still at the part where here is trying to stab the suckers though]

How could there even be this many...

Loving someone means you are obligated to them in a way. Love is worth more than pain, so sometimes you endure pain for the people you love. The memories of those people are valuable to me, and in the end, I don't regret regaining those memories even if it means I have to live with all the rest of myself.

[yuetsu]

. . . I don't love anyone. What a tormented existence you have, caught between two sides.

[ticking]

[normally i would protest but I suppose that conclusion is kind of the point]

Enough? Or did you have questions, priest?

[yuetsu]

. . . no. How unexpected.

[ticking]

Hoh? Are you 'pleased'?

[yuetsu]

Yes and no. Isn't that to be expected however.

[ticking]

[pulls you into my base okay]

That is the normal way of it.

[yuetsu]

[ sigh. ]

Looking for your distraction now?

[ticking]

It's not a very good distraction if it doesn't come when I need it.

[yuetsu]

Of course. [ haah ] Perhaps you should have just stayed with your goddess, she could have taken your other arm as well.

[ticking]

Like cripples, priest?

[yuetsu]

[ no I'm just cranky :X ]

It would have been even more unexpected.

[ticking]

[I GAVE YOU WHAT YOU WANTED YOU DON'T GET TO BE CRANKY AT ME!!]

It might have been an actual concern, too.

[yuetsu]

[ hfff, threads his fingers through Slick's hair again, contemplative ]

Self-preservation then?

[ticking]

Oh, I'm not afraid of death.

[tilts into it]

But I'd actually need help getting it fixed in that case and that would be a bit embarrassing.

[yuetsu]

Is that where your line is then. Needing help to get it repaired?

[ticking]

I prefer to handle my own problems, I suppose.

[yuetsu]

Pride?

[ticking]

A bit. Hm... there are things I am good at, not being a burden is generally one of them.

[rubs a thumb under your robot eye]

But what you avoiding, priest?

[yuetsu]

[ blinks twice. ]

Avoiding?

[ticking]

You've lost your smile. Are you cranky about something?

[yuetsu]

[ . . . takes a moment because he can't remember smiling, there's just too much of a disconnect sometimes -- . . . :|;; ]

I'm not avoiding anything.

[ticking]

Boy, my ability to 'read the mood' transcends yours by miles. Are you that distressed we have this much in common?

[yuetsu]

No.

[ticking]

[pinchessss your cheek and pulls]

Now that's no fair. I've been honest with you beyond what I've ever clearly told anyone.
