[He laughs softly.]

You of all people know the best that I've dealt with worse, miss Qingxuan.
[His 70+ simulated deaths....]

[shiftingwinds]

So? You think because you've died before, it doesn't hurt? [she aims a drunken punch at his shoulder.] Pain is pain. You shouldn't have to go through that.

[holeful]

[He wobbles a little in his seat!!]

Well, you know, I'm just not worth that much. Haven't you wondered why they were willing to send me to die in a simulation that many times?

[shiftingwinds]

Don't say that.

[she. narrows her eyes at him.]

What do you mean, not worth that much? Who decides that? Who told you that?

[holeful]

[He shrugs.]

Wouldn't you say some people's lives are worth more than others?

[shiftingwinds]

No, I wouldn't.

[holeful]

... Really? Even if it's a prolific serial killer like miss Grell?

[shiftingwinds]

That doesn't mean her life is worth less. It may mean she has more things to answer for, but that doesn't change the value of a life.

[holeful]

Aah, you really are kind, miss Qingxuan... Is this the benevolence of a god?

[shiftingwinds]

...no. It's just what I think.

[holeful]

[A low hum. He takes a sip from whatever the fuck he's drinking. Maybe it's just vodka.]

Well, I don't know if most people think the way you do. If you need some to suffer for the greater good, you may as well pick people who've done something to deserve it. That sort of thinking.

[shiftingwinds]

I don't like that sort of thinking.

[holeful]

I'm not telling you to like it. I'm just telling you what people are like.

[shiftingwinds]

...you're not worth less than someone else to me.

[holeful]

...

[He's quiet for a long moment as he drinks more.]
Ah, saying things like that makes me really wish I could be from a world like yours.

[shiftingwinds]

...really?

[holeful]

Like I said, if there's gods where I'm from, they don't play an active role in helping their worshipers, the way you do.

[shiftingwinds]

Not every god is like that.

[holeful]

A few good gods are still better than no gods all all.

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha... I suppose that may be true.

[holeful]

[He is drinking more vodka. He should stop? But it seems rude not to drink irresponsibly if SQX is going to. Also I've decided belatedly it is a vodka cranberry but like. Heavy on the vodka.]

... Miss Qingxuan. Can I tell you something?

[shiftingwinds]

[valid. i want vodka now.]

Of course. What is it?

[holeful]

[Why would you drink vodka when you could have any other base spirit which has an actual flavor?]

I asked you about miss Grell because I'm the same as her, really.

[shiftingwinds]

[because it's so versatile and i can pair it with anything]

You are?

[holeful]

[I GUESS!!]

Aah. That's why we were able to understand each other.
