"Well, if there's one thing you're good at- Two things, I suppose. Ah, noodles, I forgot. Make that three."

She smiles.

"You're good at a few things, too. We'll make it work."

"By the way... Are you planning on introducing yourself?"

Permalink

"Do you think I should?"

Permalink

"I think it'd be helpful - for everyone."

"And there've been enough lies, lately."

Permalink

"Mm, good point."

They straighten and make a passable Lunar-style bow in Wyld's direction. Something about their posture seems to change at the same time, making them much more present, an identifiable person. "Sesus Salikati. Chosen of Endings, Bureau-secretary at the Violet Bier, Convention of Wood, Convention on Essence Wielders, Convention on Demons, Convention on War, Convention on the Wyld. If not precisely at your service, at least adjacent thereto."

"...You're a servant of Heaven?"

The Sign of Endings gleams on their forehead, as purple as their eyes.

"Sidereal Exalted, in fact."

Permalink

"What do you want?"

Permalink

"What I want is for your path of conquest not to end here."

Permalink

"Then where would you have it end?"

Permalink

"That, I can't tell you."

Permalink

"...I don't intend to let slavery continue in Creation. Anywhere."

Permalink

They smile politely.

"Even social institutions have their ends."

Permalink

"A good truth."

Permalink

"So what seems to be the problem here?"

"With us - "

She pauses, evaluating them.

"Luc's not a Solar. She'd... Implied she was. Especially since she's my mate, I believed it, but - " She snuggles and kisses Luc'. "It sounds like the Yozis got their hands on some Solar Exaltations and... Did something. And they enslaved Luc' and if she doesn't do what they say they'll hurt her and me, and she's pretty sure if she defies them big time they'll actually try to kill her."

"I'll protect her. No matter what. I love her, and she's mine."

"But getting a - happy medium out of this - seems like it'll be hard. I dunno yet if there's stuff she can do to make them less mad at her that's not, like, spreading their cults around."

"And we thought the Abyssals were bad..." they mutter.

"Okay. Messing with an Exaltation should be a priori impossible, but whatever's done can be undone. Not necessarily easily, but at least theoretically." They point at Luc'. "You know more about what's been done than any of us. Long term, you need to think about what it would look like to cut free of the Yozis and what would need to be done to make that happen."

Permalink

Her brow furrows in thought.

"I don't know but- I might be able to distract them by doing... other things that serve the cause. They want Creation to look like Malfeas."

Permalink

So much snuggle.

"So torture, murder, suffering, whole miserable nine yards."

"...Do you know if they care about, like, if someone's agreed to something?"

Permalink

"I think consent would be counter to the... philosophy?"

Permalink

"What if you don't necessarily know who's agreed?"

Permalink

"...Might work."

Permalink

"Awwww, I was about to propose you have some fun with me... But I can do black box play time, too."

Permalink

"Ahem. Yes, well, however the two of you want to sort that out."

Permalink

She snickers. "We'll work out any tests on our own time, don't worry."
