[selfimmolates]

Yup. No issue with that, right?

[divus]

I don't have a problem with it. And your god's nice, so she probably doesn't, either. Some of the others, though? They might get annoyed if you make 'em think they might be able to sway you, and it turns out they can't.

So be careful.

[selfimmolates]

Well, at the moment, it's not insincere. I am sway-able.

But thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

[divus]

Don't worry, I won't tell Love that.

[selfimmolates]

Not like she doesn't already know. I haven't exactly been swearing my undying loyalty to her every time we talk.

[divus]

Suspecting isn't the same thing as knowing.

[selfimmolates]

Maybe. I promised her I'd give her the heads-up if I was planning to defect, so either way, it won't come as too much of a surprise to her if I am swayed.

[divus]

Fair enough. You got anyone you're considering already?

[selfimmolates]

No one in particular right now. I'll probably wait at least another week to see how numbers shift.

[assuming he isn't deda by then]

[divus]

Not a bad plan. We'll be at the halfway point around then.

[selfimmolates]

I don't know whether to say it's been too long or too short.

[divus]

Time flies when you're having fun, and drags on when you're not. I'm sure there are some people who think the time has passed in the blink of an eye.

[selfimmolates]

"Fun" isn't the word I'd use, but sure.

[divus]

Some people are.

[Sincerity's voice is serious.]

Be careful of them.

[selfimmolates]

[he nods.]

I will.

[divus]

Good. I'm glad to hear that.
