[Cunning's in the armory again, but this time they're in the middle of the open arena with a sword in hand, seemingly getting some practice in. There's a follow-up strike to an invisible target even when they speak.]
[ True to his word he doesn't look like he's actually stressing over the Strung Red overmuch. He's made his appeals and attempts, and it isn't as if he's keen on going out this early, but really if it's up to the gods it's up to the gods, no point in working himself up into a fuss over it.
Hm. In any case, he opts to watch Cunning's form for a brief moment before he continues. ]
Call me curious. I've been a bit neglectful of actually, properly, gathering information during my stay here so far, so I might as well start making up for it in the case that I survive tomorrow. How well do you get along with the other gods here?
[ He's heard some comments during the trial that basically are just 'whatmakesyougohmm.mp3'. In retrospect it should be obvious the Gods would have opinions on each other beyond falsified or magnanimous neutrality, but. ]
Yeah, I figured the cat was occupying a lot of your time. [Just. Saying. There's another swing, quickly switching hands. If Julius is watching, he'll notice that it's the signs of someone who's actively fought with a sword for several years.]
Good approach though. [Only worrying as much as anyone thinks he should be. They're aware they're answering things out of order but there's another strike to another invisible target.] And that depends on which gods we're talking about. Some are easier to get along with than others just like anybody else. There's a reason we couldn't all agree on a nice, happy ending.
I'll let you play with him sometime if you want, only if you can promise not to skewer him. [ He hears that, thanks, but he hasn't spent a good lot of his lifetime being sassed by his little brother to not be able to give back as good as he gets. And he hasn't been spending that much time with his cat, please.
Ambidextrous, though. Well-practiced, too. Hmmmm. At least someone here probably isn't going to get stabbed by a kid, hint hint future!Guy. ]
You know, I'd offer a spar if my arm weren't the way it is. [ Julius remarks, blandly. ] But that's not what either of us is here for unless you can do something about it, so it probably would have had to wait either way. And in any case, I didn't ask in general who gets along with who-- I was asking you who you find the most or least tolerable among the others.
I've never really had experience with cats. [Not going to touch that. Not going to promise not to skewer him either but that's just to make Julius on-edge. Killing domestic pets isn't on their agenda.]
That'll probably go away? You broke a rule, right? Those things might get undone. Just, y'know, not by me. [There's a pause though and Cunning sighs, finally stopping and putting the sword down.]
Most tolerable are Disorder and Ambition. Least tolerable's gotta be Sincerity. Beauty's kind of a dumbass, Indulgence is also kind of a dumbass...everybody else is kind of just there. [Even Ruin, interestingly enough.]
Rollo's as good of a learning experience as any if you ever wanted to try. He's a fairly adventurous cat.
[ as evidenced by him making friends with a bunch of the temple even without julius' presence i mean ]
And in any case, I wasn't the one who broke the rule, but you know, Strung Red and all that. If the cure is simply to be patient, though, then fair enough. [ An elegant one-armed shrug. As for intergod relations, though... Disorder and Ambition, huh. Makes sense. The others...
He doesn't know what to think of Cunning quite yet, but he still has to smile somewhat. It's not one that necessarily is warm, but it's definitely amused all the same. ]
Interesting list. Do you disagree with Sincerity simply because your aspects are opposed, or because you think they're truly that intolerable of a person?
Maybe later. [But there's a sound of understanding.] Ah, one of those. Love's powers are ridiculous, she lets her followers run rampant without even monitoring what they're doing. It's a mess. That'll definitely be over in a week.
[As to the question regarding Sincerity, there's a shrug.] Definitely the latter. I'm not a fan of people who're actually fake.
[ The answer about Sincerity actually pulls a wry, sympathetic twist of his expression out of him. In fact he is making a face. So yeah, fake people. ]
That makes the two of us, then. About that sort of person, I mean, because as of yet I haven't had the chance to call down Sincerity for a chat.
[ Wryly: ]
Guess that means I'll be in for a pleasant time if that's the case. Ah, but speaking of powers, though, do those reflect your own abilities as individuals, or are they more of a themed sort of set?
