Who: Henrietta, Zhen Ji and anyone
When: Day 53, early afternoon
Where: 4th floor, that cluster of empty rooms in the Southeast
What: a thing~?

[if you are walking past the aforementioned cluster of empty rooms, you may hear a conversation going on in one of them...

further investigation reveals Henrietta and Zhen Ji inside one of them standing toward the back near the stone wall--one of them is yelling. Two guesses as to who.]

[amused]

Resisting your own impulses and living in perpetual misery? I can't imagine why that would fail.

"Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with the workers of iniquity."

[jaw pet]

But you don't incline your heart, boy. Your heart inclines you.

[ WHY DO YOU TOUCH KIREI SO MUCH. tilts away from that. ]

Accept my nature for what it is, is that your suggestion.

My suggestion is what you do what you desire. Follow your god and follow your pleasure. You do desire both of those things, don't you?

. . . yes.

[ but I don't see how that can be done. ]

So? It's always as simple as following your desires. Do you mind if it destroys you?

I would prefer it to not.

[ hff. ]

[haha]

Well that's usually what you have to risk for happiness.

Yes. It is something I considered. . . before.

But?

. . . it seemed to make all of my previous effort meaningless.

You gave your father his illusion. And you've presumably done some good things in your time as a priest, haven't you?

[ uh. ]

I have done my duties.

So, there you go. You consider those duties of value, don't you?

Others believe in their value.

[laughs]

Well, that's all you've ever had, isn't? So take it for what it is and move on.

[pats your cheek]

It's never too late to grow up and choose your own path in life, boy.

[ nnnngmmhhhhghgh tilts away from the pat too, irritable but also thoughtful. ]

I'll keep that in mind.

[grabs your jaw and presses a thumb on your lower lip, thoughtful]

Well, I'm sure you have a lot to think on, though I wonder if you'll have pushed it away again if I let you go mull it over now.

[ stop touching kirei!1 tries to remove Slick's grip...? ]

. . .

[you'll eventually get used to it, grabs your hand with his own then]

Well? What do you think? You should know yourself at least that well.

There's a possibility.

[sigh]

Honestly.

I am undecided, that is all.

Well, decide as you wish, but we'll talk until you have this sorted out. I don't believe you have to be miserable.
