GODLY AUDIENCES: ISHIKIRIMARU

[ritualization]

I think I would like that, if you prove not to be too busy.

[Sometimes you just gotta fight? You just gotta.]

And I will certainly bear it in mind, if you do not mind me holding on to that for now; at the moment I do not believe there's anything I require.

[divus]

I guess I can't hold it against you since I wasn't exactly expecting to lose in the first place. [Cunning can be an okay sport about it.] Summon me whenever you wanna go a few rounds, I'm usually not that busy. This place is actually pretty boring these days.

[ritualization]

I find it is best to enter into such things without expectations.

[is he being zen or is that the inner shitty grandpa sneaking out, you decide. he's still got the same calm smile as always.]

But I certainly will, and I will also take it into account if you have preferences for being summoned.

[after a brief pause, he also asks:]

Was there anything that made it more interesting before?

[divus]

[How rude :| But Cunning just waves a hand.]

Yeah, yeah...I'm used to winning. [There's a shrug shortly after.] You could probably just leave a note saying you want to spar and I'll answer if I'm around. Consider it a benefit of being the winner.

[Hm...] In the temple? Nah, this is new to us, too. But the old life was starting to be a drag, so I picked this one instead.

[ritualization]

I can imagine most would choose the life of a god, really. It seems like it would be a difficult thing to refuse.

[not that he would really know, considering he's just always sort of been a minor one.]

What about it did you find so boring?

[divus]

I dunno. It was really just the offer of being able to control and have a say in stuff that was appealing to me. [Which is a weirdly honest thing to say, but.]

The challenge stopped being a challenge. Plans were completed, I ran out of things to do...you know how it goes.
