Naw. [Grins.] If Creation was about to end, that's the time to be less of a responsible adult.

now this is DEEP

[athermercy]

I guess that was why I was in this form -- From a certain perspective, a child can shoulder things the adults have forgotten.

as deep as one can go :D

[thehighcost]

That's one of the best things about children; they're so resilient. They can pick themselves back up better then any adult can.

[athermercy]

Flexibility too. The younger aren't set on their old, dogmatic ways.

[thehighcost]

No, they're just learning their way around the world. Everything is open to discussion.

[athermercy]

To some degree. Once they learn, they are set on their ways too.

[thehighcost]

[Thoughtful.] Do you think I'm set in my ways? Destiny is, for sure, but what about everyone else?

[athermercy]

You changed -- Didn't you? It was long ago, but you still changed. Mm, I don't want to say that.

[ She looks sullen, because if she utters it, maybe it happens. ]

[thehighcost]

It's okay. You don't have to. [She smiles, reaching out to pat her hand.]

[athermercy]

I'm trying to -- Let them think for themselves.

[which is difficult in this anchored form. When she's spread around, it's easier to become closer to everything. She smiles weakly.]

[thehighcost]

[She pats her hand again, picking it up and squeezing it lightly.] I think that's a good thing.

[athermercy]

Destiny doesn't like the change. But I know he can adapt.

[it's difficult because destiny had no idea about how much the script changed by being trapped here.

Even seeing her and realizing who she was now... was a surprise.]

[thehighcost]

He doesn't. I don't think anyone likes to change, really. But sometimes it needs to be done. And if he can't adapt, but I also think he can, then he'll have his life changing epiphany later.

[athermercy]

If he can't adapt and needs my encouragement , I'll make an exception for him.

I wish I wouldn't have to do that.

[thehighcost]

Wish you wouldn't have to make an exception, or give him encouragement?

[athermercy]

The exception -- It makes me doubt that I'm serious about my path.

[thehighcost]

I wouldn't say that. Just because I'm willing to make exceptions doesn't mean I'm not serious about my job. You're not going to go off like Destruction. You know what you want to do.

[athermercy]

I know. I just -- I don't want to do as Lucifer and Yahweh did. But I know some people will get hurt.

[thehighcost]

That's life, isn't it? Everyone gets hurt sometimes.

[athermercy]

Yeah -- I can't write a fairytale ending when they don't want it.

[thehighcost]

Fairy tales aren't real life, anyway. Except for some people, but that is Dream's domain.
