[stares at her with a face that doesn't need words]

[ glances at him-- and goes red with embarrassment, and shame, and maybe surprise ]

-- don't look at me like that! You can't just think I would happily sit by and let you kill so many people?!

Giving up your your own world just to do so?

[certainly not the sad fact that everyone he's cared about has/could be put in the position to kill him over his decisions getting to him, no]

You have something to live for. Live for that.

I couldn't possibly imagine what I, a person who's meant to die in service to her Lord, could possibly have to live for!

And what about you? You say you have nothing to live for since your place was taken as ruler-- why do you want that, anyway? You were raised into it, but your parents were horrid! You killed them because they were so horrid!

Live for something better than killing!

[no hold up]

Why are you meant to die like that?

[ GRABS HIS SHOULDERS AND SHAKES HIM (gently) ]

Stop changing the subject!

No.

[leaning in close, taking hold of her chin (gently) (but firmly)]

What plan do you have in mind if you intend to come to my world to kill me, in an effort to prevent me from devastating my world, if you are planning to forfeit your life not much later?

[ grimaces, but lets him hold her for the moment ]

I'm not planning anything! It's-- simply the feeling I've gotten, from my memories.

Even so, would it matter? I don't ever intend to kill you-- I vastly would prefer not to-- but I can't let anyone destroy so many innocents. And why do you care? If you intend to kill so many, what's one more, when I don't even have enough worth to you to be considered, compared to whether or not you're able to create misery.

[...releases her chin]

Fine.

[his voice softens, awkwardly]

Suppose that we left for your world to share a future together. Would you still die for such a reason?

[ ,

sorry give her a second she thought about the words "a future together" and bsod'd ]

... I-- don't remember enough to know.

[ a pause, and, kind of strained: ]

I don't ever think about my future.

Neither do I, Cypress.

[but, waiting]

[ lets him go, probably because she's trembling a little. ]

No-- no, that's not true. You have plans. You just told me what you were going to do.

For years I thought of the same thing. Destroying that kingdom. Seeking revenge against Dusk.

If I'm to be stopped, I will have nothing for myself.

... so choose something new.

You have nerve to expect that from me.

Why can't you think of your future?

...

I don't know.

...how are we supposed to have a future together?

[

weakly, kind of pale; ]

I-- don't know. I don't know. Are we supposed to? Is that what you want? We haven't been dating very long so I don't know if you should--

Edited 2021-03-07 07:03 (UTC)

You were disappointed that I didn't consider you.

You said-- you said without that there would be nothing, what am I supposed to think?!

What am I supposed to think?

I don't know!

[ she collapses back with a fwump, covering her face with her hands and her voice shaky. ]

I can't think about it. Please don't make me think about it.

[this entire conversation has been the weirdest rollercoaster

—but he doesn't like seeing his Nice Thing in Life upset. he lays back down next to her.]

I can't think about it either.

[softly, with hesitation]

It's terrifying.
