Jason: probably. Jason: i told you, i couldn't ignore it. Jason: you might be able to take him, to get the one up. Jason: but how many other people don't have that option? Jason: even if it was personal between you two, you can't tell me you were the only one he hurt Jason: so disown what i did. i figured you would.

[holding her arm out, flexing hard enough to let miasma start wafting in the air but not strongly at all]
We both were given the gift of being able to absorb the scourge. I was instructed to kill that which gods could not slay, the brother of our founder king. There is no question that my body will hold more darkness than his if we follow fate's predestination, and there is no prayer nor divine act that will be my salvation.
What I desire is for you to not come near nor harm Ardyn Lucis Caelum once more. I would have your continued friendship as well, but you are determined once more to rebuff all friendly advances.
If I "rebuffed friendly advances", you'd know it without a doubt. [his voice is-- very cold. all pretense of snark and sarcasm dropped in totality.] There's only two other people who know as much about my life as you do. And one of them's my brother.
My duty is my desire! I want to protect all those here and save my world from darkness! If there is more I could do to those ends, then speak up! Loud and true!
[now he's starting to notice it-- but at least he's not wearing the heavy jackets he would've been before, that would've made it immediately unbearable.
but he's keeping his calm.]
Fine. Whatever.
What's your request? "Leave him alone?" Or is it just the thought that I might refuse?

You wanna be done with him, don't you?
Re: 276
[swallows, stiffening up]
My life is bound to his as much as the king's. My only hope is that I am not chosen to become him.
Re: 276
[tell him that's another case of them speaking differently, because.]
What do you want?

There’s a difference between being someone with a heart too big for their own damn good and fate.
Re: 276
If you wished to tear he and I apart, you have failed. Whether through the bonds of destiny or the size of my heart, I do not care.
Jason, will you aid me? Or will you refuse my request?

Re: 276
You wish to protect others from him, do you not? I would have your aid in that.
