I use my powers of moving space frequently enough, as it allows me to quickly move from the castle to the town, and I've used my powers of ice once in a while...
[ do not have a whole lot of reasons to reduce anything to ashes though ]
[ . . . . ah. soo-won's expression turns more serious at that, and with the hand that is not holding onto his rice crackers, he offers his hand out to goat, palm up]
... That is very kind of you. However, I would ask that you look after yourself first, and your fellow participants--and the other Leaders, if you can.
And it's because you say things like that, I intend on looking after you just as much as anyone else.
[there's a bit of a laugh]
You might have heard if you know what I say to others... but I don't particularly care for the gods of my world, or relying on higher powers. I'm not sure whether you are a type of god, or another immortal.
But in this moment, you sound like anyone else to me - and I don't believe in special treatment.
I have heard, yes. And you know that I cannot say what I am.
[ because no memories ]
... Whatever life I led before this, I'm sure I must have witnessed much bloodshed. Though it may be painful, I can endure whatever is to come. However, many of the other Leaders--aside from one or two--don't seem as accustomed to this sort of thing.
I ask that, should you meet with them, you offer them the same kindness you have shown me.
[there's still so much in the world that he doesn't know]
But I do notice that you've moved the topic off of yourself again.
I mean it, Goat - at least attempt to let yourself feel a bit of joy. A lifetime of sadness would be difficult for anyone, much less someone with even more years on their lifespan than usual.

Would you like to meet them? Should I try to encourage them?

Yes, starting... tomorrow.

Hmm... alright.
[he pauses like he's trying to think]
Do I have anything else...
[ . . . ]
Are you doing alright?
no subject
they're quiet for a moment. ]
Do not worry for me.
no subject
It's a bit too late for that, I'm afraid.
Could I ask only after your honesty?
no subject
I am sad, and grieve for the lives lost and worry for the future. But I am used to being sad, I think.
no subject
Your hand, if I may?
no subject
confused, they hold out their hand. ]
no subject
anyway soo-won is going to take that hand and hold it in his, offering it a squeeze]
It may not mean much, but I'll try harder to offer a few reprieves from the sadness that you carry.
While I understand the feeling, it is not one I would wish on any.

no subject
but soo-won will just look gently amused at that]
Mm, I intend to. Put in a good word for me if you can - but I'd like to get to know them too, now that the opportunity will be open.
I'm not sure how well they'll respond to me, but I don't intend on making any exceptions to my treatment of others.
no subject
[ soo-won has been nice... ]
no subject
[which he is!
but it's mostly just the icing on top of a deeply complicated and tortured cake]

no subject
I can find enough joy in the smaller things in life.
no subject
That's true.
But I think I'd like to assist in making your joys a bit bigger, if only so that they can stand a chance to float amidst the sadness.
Even if you can endure, I'd rather that you not suffer alone.
