...why?

[purple_reign]

Because you haven't given me any reason not to. You've been nothing but kind and helpful to me.

Why do you think I shouldn't?

[heckblazer]

'Coz people close to me tend to have their survival rates drop hard and fast. An' its usually my fault,

[purple_reign]

My life span is already ruined, so you really shouldn't worry about that.

[heckblazer]

No. But I surprise me'self sometimes. Find me'self in odd corners and dead ends sometimes. That's when I usually save me own skin first.

[purple_reign]

Usually. Do you really believe you'd do that to me? Leave me behind to die somewhere?

[heckblazer]

Not an easy outcome to predict. Even harder to admit to myself.

[ But then that stupid "you have to be honest" curse kicks in. ]

In a perfect world, I'd be scamming some other poor bastard to give you and your lot more time.

[purple_reign]

[They smile that goddamn fond smile again.]

That's why I like you. You really care about us.

Just don't seem right, shoving gods into kids' heads and obliging them to "inspire the world" or whathaveyou.

Still don't mean I would't put my own arse first.

[purple_reign]

We are gods. Reborn and awoken fresh, but still gods. [Probably. Maybe. It's what Inanna believes, at least.]

And I don't think you actually would. You're a better man than you think.

[heckblazer]

Not as good as you think. Yer' mentor still put you in young, impressionable vessels coz it suited her needs, after all.

I just figure I'm useful. Keeps people worse'n me from getting any closer to you lot. S'that the same thing as kindness?
