You don't think some of the gods would use tragic backstories to manipulate people to their side? It's easier if we can't say anything until after you get to know us.
[Is that true? It sounds true enough.] And anyway...some of us don't mind starting from scratch most of the time. [At least until it's really dumb, such as now.]
They're literally lines about being true to yourself and about a locked up heart breaking free. The cadence of them also seems to imply it's not meant to be something slow.]
I doubt it. They're just words for now. Something to do? [Love has been having a great time with meeting with people but also sometimes you just hit a wall.] But maybe someday.
You know the goal is to get more than seven, right? [They fold their hands behind their back.] I know I'm really fortunate that so many of you picked me, but I'm not stupid. I know that's not a guaranteed thing. So...I'll try my best.
But good. Right now, I don't want a reason to defect.
[... because he actually kind of likes love and so far wants them to win the most (justice, uh, doesn't seem nearly mature enough), but. he's not going to say that. haha! he'll be a dick instead.]
...Ray? [It sounds hesitant, but they tilt their chin up.]
If you do decide to defect, will you talk to me first? [It's just a curious question and also Love likes Ray a lot and would prefer to keep him, thanks.]
[That answer seems to make them happy given there's a cheery little laugh, and if Ray holds still long enough Love will take his hand between both of hers.]
Thank you. [They're just as quick to let go though.] I'll see you next time?

By the way, what were you writing when I got here?
no subject
Oh, that? [There's some sheepishness then.] I'm not sure it's anything you'd be interested in. [...] You can look at it if you want though?
no subject
[but he'll take a glance at it.]
no subject
Or...maybe lyrics?]
Does it count if it's about something I love instead of to someone I love?
no subject
Close enough.

All right, all right, I promise.

Thanks. In the meantime I'll see if I can figure out a way to break the curse a little more, but this is as good as it's gonna get for now.
no subject
Guess I'll try not to get cursed again this week.
no subject
If you do, come back and I'll try to fix it. I'm still learning what I can and can't do against another god's domain.

[he holds up a hand.]
If it comes down to that, I do have an investment in not completely burning this bridge, so don't worry.

he's a little startled at sudden hand-holding but he barely manages to refrain from yanking his hand away.]
Yeah, and hopefully without any curses involved.
no subject
Just play to the gods' personalities and you'll be okay.
[...weird advice, but sure.] See you later.
