... No, no. Who is it you're talking about?

[senjinrouha]

Xie Lian.

... oh. Huh.

I think that should be fine, for now. But when is the meeting...

[ let's move along]

[senjinrouha]

[ he just looks at him with all the exhaustion of a man who is watching two of his friend/acquaintances go through a messy divorce in public while pretending they were never together and he can't even punch them for the stress hernias he's getting watching them because they'd just pretend like HE'S the mad one. ]





Whenever. But I'd say before curfew tomorrow, in case of... y'know. The worst possible scenarios.

[sponsoredby]

I'll let you know tomorrow during the day.

[ he needs the night to figure it out. ]

Then we can figure something out.

[senjinrouha]

Sure.

[ he nods. ]

Just... do. If that's what you want. We have no idea what's going to happen on Thursday night, ever.

[ he'll hold out a hand though. shake? ] Even if you don't want to meet them, I can keep you informed of things we know. And give you a hand, if I can.

[sponsoredby]

[ sure, he'll shake his hand. ]

Yeah. It's always a mystery. But I'll let you know.

[senjinrouha]

[ he's rude is what he is. ]

Sure.

I'll figure out something to tell the others if you don't want to. But I'm also persistent. Do as I say, not as I do -- but doing everything yourself just gets you into trouble. Or so I had kicked into me before I got here.

Whether it did anything, I don't know. But people have strong opinions on it.

[ whaaaaaaaat ]

I'm used to keeping this kind of thing to myself. It's why only one person knows. I'll think deeply about it.

[senjinrouha]

It's an open offer. Keep yourself alive, and it's open.

Can't help you if you get yourself into trouble though so... keep yourself safe.

I've got a very important promise... I don't plan on dying anytime soon.

[senjinrouha]

Good. Don't.

[ ... ]

I'll check in on you. I mean, other than normal conversations. Don't run yourself completely into the ground if you can help it.

[sponsoredby]

Make sure you're taking care of yourself, too.

[ he pauses, thinking and looking at yuri in thought. ]

Do the roles tend to share their teams or not?

[senjinrouha]

They can do. We haven't personally.

[ ... ]

But in the interest of fairness, I know yours thanks to my search.

[sponsoredby]

[ of course. ]

So are we on the same side? Even though we're both technically neutral roles.

[senjinrouha]

[ he tilts his head. ]

Yeah. If you buy into their sides.

I'm the same as you.

[sponsoredby]

[ he does seem a little relieved? ]

Maybe. Maybe not. I have someone I feel like I can trust that's on the other side, but... I'm worried about something I was told early on and I can't help but think about that kind of thing.

[senjinrouha]

[ he tilts his head. ]

What were you told that's got you so concerned?

[sponsoredby]

I was told that if the Temporals won, they're deal harm to a lot of people.

[senjinrouha]

...

I'm starting to think we're being told whatever suits the side we're on. Have you asked any of the Watchers what our teams "represent"?

[sponsoredby]

I asked early on what being a Celestial meant. I got a pretty vague answer, just that it was differing opinoins.

[senjinrouha]

I was told it was something like Order versus Chaos, but Temporals are order, specifically "Order above all else". Which would make Celestials "Chaos".

[sponsoredby]

[ he... groans at that. ]

Why can't we have something in the middle...

[senjinrouha]

I'm pretty sure there'd be no huge angelic conflict if they were able to compromise in any way, shape or form.

Maybe we need to figuring that out? That middle point between sheer chaos and absolute order.

[sponsoredby]

I'm not sure how we're supposed to get that to happen.
