[ not being drunk or under any other sort of influence sure makes a lot of difference when talking to indulgence, majima realizes. taking the god fully at face value... it's a hell of a trip, he can say that much.
but as much as he thinks indulgence could maaaybe take it down a notch or two, he can't really fault him? it shocks him how much he agrees with his patron's philosophy. why spend your time worrying about everyone around you when taking care of yourself takes up 90% of your life? it's a viewpoint that majima has encountered in the past, and the person who presented it then left a big mark on him... coming across it again in indulgence almost like a bit of divine deja vu.
who knew a single question would result in so many thinky thoughts to think on. ]
Thanks for bein' honest with me, boss. Since ya took the time to answer me so earnestly, I feel it's only fair... ya got anythin' to ask of me?
[I can't believe that they're so well matched. Like, what is this. What's happening.]
Hey, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not always exactly the easiest to talk to, but that doesn't mean I'm a liar. Keeping track of all the stories you're making up for people? That takes waaay too much effort. If I want to lie about something I'll have someone else do it for me.
[But, that's not the point.]
I gotta ask, after I did lose followers, and since I haven't been exactly holding back a flood of others hoping to get a coveted spot...are you happy?
I MISSED THIS... and also apparently left it to rot while i went to work
[ he makes sure to look indulgence in the eye for this response, his smile wry. ]
Ya haven't done me wrong yet, Indulgence-han. Besides, I can relate to ya more than ya might think. Guess it was just natural I chose to follow you, yeah? What more could a guy ask for?
