Will you just chill out? Dia’s sick of being demonized just like you are, and he’s been through untold amounts of stress ever since Pathos died…he almost completely snapped too…I get he killed your friend, but wouldn’t you want to kill the God of your world too? Don’t you hate them too? I’m sick of all the drama that’s happened lately, and so is everyone else, so can you two just settle your differences already and stop vagueing one another? And besides, I’m sure the rat will be okay soon…

* { we did stop. }

* { i understand where you’re coming from – and believe me, i’m damn tired of drama too. }

* { it’s just – scary. i want to trust him and i know flaps is going to want to try and get to know him, and i don’t want to stand in the way of that, but i just. }

* { we’ve been stabbed in the back by so many people nowadays???? it’s like, it just keeps happening. and i’m terrified that it’ll happen again, and maybe even worse, and i won’t be able to do jack shit about it because the asshole directing this all wants it to happen. }

* { like, i understand that he was under a lot of stress, i get it. but i’m fucking terrified of anything else happening and i took that out on him, and i guess it wasn’t right of me. i’ll. apologize later, i guess. i was tired and stressed and keyed up last night and i still am but it’s not much of an excuse. }

* { if you’re willing to show me that YOU specifically won’t act the way he did, then you’re fine. i just don’t want to chance leaving security that wide open again if i can do anything about it. }

{ * okay But Like, }

{ * He and I are completely different people. It’s kinda unfair to lump me in with him when he did what he did out of his own volition. In the end it was meant to get At Me anyway so… }

{ * But. Go ahead and up your security if it makes you feel better. }

* { the only reason I’m being harsh with you is because you killed the rat. that’s not something I’m going to just ignore. }

* { I understand you are different people, and I know he did it to fuck with you, but I can’t afford to take a lot of chances when things are this on edge around here. }

* { I won’t have you guilting me for it. }

{ * … }

{ * I suppose I can’t really apologize for his actions. Speaking for the dead, and all that.. }

{ * Well… I never really came around, anyway. Guess this works out for the both of us. }

{ * 😦 }

* { if you’re willing to show me that YOU specifically won’t act the way he did, then you’re fine. i just don’t want to chance leaving security that wide open again if i can do anything about it. }

* { i do. }

* { but i’m not going after you. you prove that you won’t be a threat to this home, i’ll permit you near here. but until then you and your counterpart don’t come near here without risking death on sight. }
