... 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.

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.

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.

[ soo-won has been nice... ]

[which he is!
but it's mostly just the icing on top of a deeply complicated and tortured cake]

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.
no subject
I enjoy speaking with you.
no subject
[and so he'll move to walk toward the forest, still not letting go of goat's hand]
Then I'll stay a little longer. Let's take a walk.
[i'm never going to make it to the monday audience]
no subject
but sure, they'll go on a walk with soo-won. ]
no subject
anyway they're going to walk and soo-won is going to swing their hands between them because he can]
Do you have a favorite animal?
[is it a goat]
no subject
I don't think so...?
[ it is not a goat, apparently. they think harder. ]
Maybe... the falcon?
no subject
[he expected something smaller and more docile, given the way that animals just flock to goat]
no subject
no subject
Hm.... Falcons are rather impressive, and powerful.

Mm, I think I can see that too. I wonder if the animals find you warm, too.
