Two (crimson courreges) (video/action)

[Video]

[This may be the most emotion anyone has seen out of Ledah. The hand that isn't holding his phone is clenched tightly, and his expression is distinctly a scowl.]

What can be forgiven for expediency? What can we ignore in order to gain allies against the Shadows?

On a related note. How would you suggest someone relieve stress?

[Action]

[Ledah still looks pissed off as he wanders around the city. He has purchased for this occasion a 'stress ball', which is seeing some serious wear and tear from how much he's been squeezing it. It really hasn't helped. He's considering complaining to the store owner.]

[He really doesn't look like he has any destination in mind; he's just walking to be walking. He's wearing his formal dress and not even noticing the occasional strange looks from passerby.]

[Bother him?]

They are close in resemblance. They do not recognize the name of Asgard, but there is no reason to think they they are much different.

Well, if you've gotta deal with 'em, you've gotta deal with 'em. Just look before you leap, so to speak. Hurting someone who doesn't deserve it isn't the best course of action... Quite the opposite, actually!

[She pauses, before speaking to herself musingly.] Though if they're not from Prospero, they'd probably just revive anyway...

That part is particularly frustrating. Still, if I am unable to stop them permanently... [How irritating, that he can't fulfill his purpose.]

It might be a good idea to call a temporary truce? Mean, no gods around for them to bother. Even if there were, what could they do? Be-a-human at them?

[A shrug. Despite the flippant commentary she's trying not to be too abrasive.] Wait and see what happens, anyway. Who knows, maybe these ones aren't all that bad.

That was my reasoning for allowing them a truce. And yet I still cannot feel as though I have not committed betrayal.

[Does it show in his voice and his posture? That he has no reason to exist but to fulfill his purpose?]

[Only a mind-reader could get that far into it. He definitely looks lost, though.]

Hm. Think of it this way. We've all got lives we're kind of... putting on hold while we're here. Tasks and duties we're leaving unfinished or put aside. It's not that we don't want to finish them, it's that we can't.

...Even so. I dislike being unable to complete my duty.

I know what you mean, but it's not something we can do much about right now. Best to focus energy where it'll be productive: and being mopey or feeling sorry for yourself is anything but productive.

I meant to do nothing of the sort.

Ah! Err, I didn't really mean to imply that, honest. Sorry.

You're forgiven.

Mm.

...Anyway, like I said. We've all got stuff we wanna go back to. Might as well just focus on the getting-back. No offense, but hopefully you're worried over nothing and they'll wind up being helpful.

I hope so. I would much prefer that to the alternative.

[Having failed due to his lack of commitment to his duty.]

It's good to go through the possibilities in your head, up until the point that they make you indecisive.

I'm well aware of the importance of decisive action.

[It was part of the reason he lost his emotions in particular.]
