Of course, a worthy correction.

Spare yourself the grievance, Lessariel. This is not a conversation worth having. Neither on your account or mine.

And here I was thinking I was able to decide my time's worth. Silly me.

Oh? Was I wrong in presuming you were about to launch into a lengthy, well-intentioned if misguided tirade about my well-being and self-fulfillment?

Because I assure you, it would indeed be a waste of time.

Oh so you do think I have good intentions.

I think you mean well in your own way, for your own benefit.

Do you think that of everyone?

It is in one's inherent nature to seek their own interests. Even altruists only do so because they believe it to be morally or spiritually necessary.

So why do you think I started a cult?

Does it matter whether it was a moral imperative of a delusion of grandeur? In the end it was still a decision you ultimately chose.

Quick q: are you capable of nuance like at all just wondering.

If you would like for me to idle my way into your clever trap, speak plainly. Court life has all but demanded I frame things to be as frustratingly vague as possible.

My answer will remain the same regardless.

No trap, just actually curious based on the things you've said..

But uwah, Koko thought I had a clever trap! o(^∀^*)o so many compliments today

[back to the ruse.] Whatever suits your curiosity.

The truth often does.

Then may you be eternally satisfied.

I mean your truth, smartass, haha.

Mine?

Well, it is a simple enough thing. But you may find its revelation to be anything but satisfying.

Try me.

I am a man whose only value in life is that which he can give to his Empire. Nothing more and nothing less.

Bzzt. Incorrect.

That isn't my dissatisfaction, btw, it's just plain wrong.

Are you certain?

Absolutely. Nobody enjoys being stripped of autonomy. I said your truth, not something someone or something else wants to impose upon you.

[like, she could go on forever about all that but yeesh.]

And if I were to tell you I have indeed given you my truth?

I stand by what I said. That isn't yours. Maybe you need to find it, maybe you think that a pointless endeavour because of your circumstances, maybe something else entirely Whooo knoooows.

But it is the one thing that gets to be yours, always. No one else can take that from you.

Heartfelt words of an idealist. What should make that mysterious, far away "truth" any more a certainty than the one I have offered?
