It's worse for Luke. He and Guy are closer...but still, yes, it's been hard.
[He sighs.]
But it's my responsibility to carry on regardless of my feelings on the matter. I just feel that, no matter what anyone says, being from their world, I should have been able to prevent this from ever happening. Guy did something horrible, but he's a good person.
I understand why he felt he had to do what he did, but his choices are unacceptable regardless. I only feel that I...should be the one held in contempt, even if I had no idea what he'd been planning.
Or maybe if I'd reassured him somehow, that I haven't been as passive of a competitor as it appears from the outside looking in, this could have been avoided. But I know there's little sense in agonizing over the past, now.
I'm sorry; that's not a good way for us to act. It's important for a leader to take responsibility for those acting on their behalf. On behalf of them, I'd like to apologize.

Why?

Yes. He and Luke and I all come from the same world.

... so it must have been really hard for you.

But it's my responsibility to carry on regardless of my feelings on the matter. I just feel that, no matter what anyone says, being from their world, I should have been able to prevent this from ever happening. Guy did something horrible, but he's a good person.
no subject
[ and it wasn't his fault that he lived but
that won't make people feel better. ]
no subject
[He liked them, too. :( ]
I understand why he felt he had to do what he did, but his choices are unacceptable regardless. I only feel that I...should be the one held in contempt, even if I had no idea what he'd been planning.
no subject
... it was Ambition's favor, right? Guy wanted to protect you.
no subject
If I'd just seemed more capable...
[Piety sighs.]
Or maybe if I'd reassured him somehow, that I haven't been as passive of a competitor as it appears from the outside looking in, this could have been avoided. But I know there's little sense in agonizing over the past, now.

... I know Cunning refused audiences yesterday since he didn't want anyone yelling at him. Ambition was refusing them too.
no subject
[He can't help sounding disheartened.]
I'm sorry; that's not a good way for us to act. It's important for a leader to take responsibility for those acting on their behalf. On behalf of them, I'd like to apologize.
no subject
[ it's like a cheat code ]
But it's fine. Even gods get stressed.

[In the meantime!]
How has your task been going?
no subject
[ he actually volunteered to do it without thinking about the task and only realized it would qualify afterwards. ]
no subject
Oh, that's great! That must make him really happy!
