it takes god to strike him down

[Milo appears looking more irritated than anything. Hey it takes a lot to take down a Gold Saint]

So now I've overstayed my welcome in this place.

I'd like to get back to my temple if it were at all possible. Li, you're still alive I hope.

If by which you mean whose I wouldn't know.

[contract_star]

Ah...hm. I don't know anyone in alternate Tokyos who have buildings collapsing. But then again, considering what's been happening to everyone's realities, it could be anyone's.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

I figured as much. It's nothing I can't handle though. I feel more sympathy for your situation.

[contract_star]

That's good to hear.

Well, I'm doing alright--and I'm used to tough situations. Though I'm not used to killer flowers. [Smirk.]

[leschath.livejournal.com]

I imagine the sentinent buildings and armor are a bit new to you. The Royal Demon Roses destroy your senses to be exact. It's good you got away quickly.

[contract_star]

I got a bit dizzy there for awhile, but it went away after awhile.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Good. Typically it takes a good stroll in Aphrodite's garden to die. It's not meant to kill anyone immediately just...slowly. [Milo is fondly remembering the sadistic bastard...kind of.]

[contract_star]

And I've never particularly liked the idea of a slow death. Not that a quick death is much better.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Death is death. It's something that's always imminent.

[contract_star]

Too true. It's foolish to fear death.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

I believe it's human to feel death.

[contract_star]

There are worse things than death. It's those things I worry about.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Well that certainly gives your reality a cheerful light. What do you worry about, Li?

[contract_star]

Oh, my reality is all kittens and rainbows.

[Looking away.] My worries are irrelevant.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

[Grabs Li by the chin and forces him to look him in the eye because...Milo's rude and abrupt like that. But then he lets go after a moment and gives Li his space.]

If that's what you prefer.

[contract_star]

[And Hei doesn't move or even react because even if he's not used to the whole "people giving a shit" thing, he's very much used to being grabbed. The only change is that his face goes completely blank.]

[After Milo lets him go, he still doesn't move, and he watches Milo for awhile before speaking.]

I'll tell you this, at least. In my world it's not very wise to trust people--even those close to you, or those you don't think would willingly harm you--with information they can potentially use against you.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know what that's like. In my world we live apart from the rest of humanity.

[He smiles a little ruefully.] So I worry about nothing.

[contract_star]

Well. Physical distance and psychic distance are essentially the same thing. Except that there's more lying involved with the latter.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

But you know enough to be bothered by your state.

[contract_star]

[Shrugs.] I'm used to it. It's been this way since the Gates appeared.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Being used to it and being content with it is different. Is that what you worry about?

[contract_star]

[So totally doesn't want to talk about this.] No.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Well then lets talk about something else if that's how you are.

[He steps in closer, kind of invading personal space. Milo speaks quietly into Li's ear.]

You remind me of someone. This you anyways.

[contract_star]

[And Hei goes B| because personal bubble, waarggh. He doesn't move or look at Milo.] And who do I remind you of?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

You've seen my world, who do you think?

[Milo is...breathing Hei's air. He's hovering in front of him maybe an inch away from his face like he's going to kiss him or well...headbutt him but that's not likely.]
