Inanna | The Wicked + The Divine

[pummelgranite]

Just how far from OK are you?

[purple_reign]

[RUDE!! Enjoy the painful twist in the way their smile drops away.]

I don't feel okay at all.

[pummelgranite]

Even when we're together? Like, when you're having fun, or whatever?

[purple_reign]

I... It feels better. I do love all our time together, but I still just... It's like everything's gone sour. It's always there in the back of my mind.

[pummelgranite]

Is there anything I could do?

[purple_reign]

I...don't know. I don't think so. You can't take back everything Ananke did to us.

[pummelgranite]

[ She pauses only briefly. AINT NO STOPPIN THE PAIN TRAIN. ]


Would you be happier if you didn't know?

[purple_reign]

[They grimace like they've just swallowed something rotten.]

Of course—anyone would be happier in ignorance, but it wouldn't be better. How could it be better for her to use me against you?

[pummelgranite]

Because you wouldn't be hurting like this!

[purple_reign]

If I had really stayed ignorant then you'd be dead! I'd only be hurting in a different way!

[pummelgranite]

You'd have Baal. You'd have you and Cassandra still able to work together. You could all figure it out on your own.



Wouldn't that be better?

[purple_reign]

No!!

[It's a sharp, horrified tone. Inanna says nothing else, only stares at her with a pleading look. They're too afraid to ask if she thinks it would be better that way.]

[heckblazer]

Why're you so bloody... nice?

[purple_reign]

Because I don't want to hurt anyone. I'd much rather help them.

[heckblazer]

Right. Shoulda been more specific. Why be bloody nice to me?

[purple_reign]

Because I like you, obviously.

[heckblazer]

...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.
