GODLY AUDIENCES: SIEG

[divus]

Yes. You can't let your heart harden just because someone hurt you once. You'll miss out on a lot of good people and good memories if you don't trust at all.

[heartmunculus]

[There's a soft chuckle.]

I think Astolfo would agree with you.

[divus]

All the more reason to believe me, huh?

[heartmunculus]

Yes, it is.

[divus]

And besides...more people have proven themselves trustworthy than untrustworthy to you, right? I think it gets easier to tell when you start talking to even more people.

[heartmunculus]

Mm... nobody's really tried to make me do anything. Should I be asking for more favors?

[divus]

Maybe. See what people have to say about them, and if people ask favors from you you can ask for something in return. Have you been doing that?

[heartmunculus]

I've mostly been getting to know people. That hasn't really lead into anybody asking for favors.

[divus]

Maybe that's a good thing then. Just keep that in mind though, okay? I don't want people taking advantage of you because you're very kind.

[heartmunculus]

Alright, I will.

[divus]

Good. But more than anything? I just want you to rest for a while.

[heartmunculus]

[Oh that's not happening.]

... Right.

[divus]

...hey. I mean it. There's nothing wrong with resting. You can still think and plan.

[heartmunculus]

[Looks at canon. Looks at Rise.

Looks back at canon.]

I feel like I've done enough resting.

[divus]

Relaxing isn't such a bad thing, Sieg-kun. Especially when it'll just aggravate your injuries. [Pout.]

[heartmunculus]

I won't have them in a couple of weeks.

[divus]

You're totally missing my point, don't be rude.

[heartmunculus]

... It's not the worst I've ever had?

[Doesn't that just make Sieg sound more pathetic though...]

[divus]

Still not my point...it's not a competition. I mean that part, anyway.

[heartmunculus]

I'll... try to rest.

[divus]

Good. ...and I'll stay with you for a while. Resting by yourself is really boring anyway. We can play a game or something? Lowkey to keep you from running off and not resting but busy enough to keep yourself occupied.

[heartmunculus]

[Wow, she really understands him.

Or maybe he's just that straightforward.]

There are some board games upstairs. Maybe one of those?

[divus]

A board game works for me...do you have a favorite yet? Have you played any of them?

[heartmunculus]

Not yet, I've been playing... I think it's called Tetris?

[divus]

That's a video game...but I know a game we can play that's sort of like that! [Give her a second before a box of Jenga materializes for them, along with a wooden tray to build the tower.]

You have to pull pieces out of the tower and stack them up without the whole thing falling over.
