[usogi]

I'd love to keep it that way.

[but it's sasuke so,,]

But I heard you were there when he was in Cunning's room, right?

[divus]

[Well. Reminding her of that was a bad idea, Senri. She actually growls.]

I've been trying not to think about that. I can't afford to lose my temper and start losing followers because people start thinking I want you all dead.

[usogi]

[oops.

well not really, he was sort of worried this was the case. now that her nails are dry he'll just take her hands in his gently.]

... you can vent to me, you know? I don't think keeping it all in will help - and I know Dizzy has a temper too sometimes, so it might help more to just be aggravated at someone uninvolved...

[divus]

[angrily:]

How much about what happened there did he tell you?

[usogi]

He didn't know it was Cunning's room, he panicked when he heard you and Dizzy come in, ducked under the bed, set it on fire, and then threatened Dizzy on his way out - something like that....?

[ . . . softly:]

Just remember that we're venting to get the anger out, instead of letting it build.

[divus]

He put a knife to her throat and hit me when I tried to get him off of her.

[look! she's mad!]

[usogi]

He hit you?! Are you okay? Can I s—

[wait no the mask]

Ahh, I'm sorry Bambi. Have you gotten it looked at? That guy's so vicious sometimes.

[divus]

We're gods and we're not vulnerable so we were able to fix it, but...

[rrrrrrrrgh]

Seriously, who breaks into someone's room and then gets violent with the people who are supposed to be there, when they're not even supposed to be there?! It's ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous! And he has the nerve to go around and act like we're the ones who can't be trusted?

[usogi]

You know the world he's from - he's a ninja and feels like he can't trust anything in the first place. He's a total pain, and I still think he needs to apologize, but.... well, he's not the easiest to get along with.

I'm still really sorry that happened to you. I'm glad you're okay now.

[divus]

What happened to me was bad enough, but I got the feeling he actually wanted to kill Disorder.

[Her voice sounds equal parts distressed and furious.]

She was the first person to actually be nice to me here. He can't just... do that. He can't!

[usogi]

[ah.

senri will take one of her hands in both of his then.]

He won't.

I promise, he won't.

.... I'll make sure of it. So please trust me.

[divus]

...

[she looks down. how does she DEAL with this, what the fuck, senri is being nice and she isn't used to that yet]

It's him I don't trust.

[usogi]

I know. [and he laughs a little] I know - and that's okay. I can't and won't ask you to, not after what he's done.

... but I'm going to work reeaaaally hard to keep him from hurting any of you all. I don't ever want anything bad to happen to you and Dizzy.

[divus]

...

[very quietly:]

Thank you.

[usogi]

[his expression softens. two thank yous in one conversation?]

You're welcome.

... I hope you feel a little better. I'm not going to ask him to come see you because he's pretty unfriendly and I don't want you to deal with that but - I'll definitely scold him a lot for you.

[divus]

[treasure it because it will never fuckin happen again, senri]

...good. Make sure he learns his lesson.

[usogi]

... well, he's a stupid boy so he's a little hard to control in terms of him being reckless -

[cries he has to be honest or else the gods will find out anyway,,]

But I'll definitely keep you all safe.

[divus]

Do your best.

[she has high expectations, etc]
