[aww, buddy. concern for him again.]

To be yourself, as you were before today.

[peripheries]

I wanted to protect everyone yesterday too. I have the means to do it now.

[sacredpath]

[thinking about how to say that.]

No, I understand that. And it isn't as though it is a bad impulse, but... I don't think you should think of that as your only purpose. Nor assume it is all up to you.

[peripheries]

I know it isn't. I just want to use my abilities for something I choose to do and not what I was told to do.

[sacredpath]

[smiling, a little warmer.]

Well, that is fine, and I'm glad you may get the chance. I just don't want you to overdo it. We can fight together, no one needs to be responsible for protecting everyone.

[peripheries]

What if I'm the best at it?

[sacredpath]

[she laughs a little despite herself. gremlin behavior.]

Even if you are, it is polite to share.

[but he truly described his primary power as regeneration, not melting enemies with laser eyes. it might be a different conversation otherwise but don't just go get your twink body wrecked and then regenerate it endlessly.]

[peripheries]

[Well, he doesn't have laser eyes, don't rub it in. They gotta get at his twink body to shred it.

Anyway, he's deeply considering how much he cares to be polite.]

[sacredpath]

You must be polite.

[peripheries]

What if I don't want to?

[sacredpath]

Then everyone else won't be inclined to accept your protection, since accepting that requires trusting that you'll consider others' needs.

[peripheries]

[Sulking.]

That is an unfairly good reason.

[sacredpath]

Yes, I know. You'll have to get used to thinking that way.
