[Game 18] Endgame

[arsgoetia]

It's early morning by the time they tidy up the house and fix the windows—leaving it as neat as they'd entered it, Tristan promises—and head out. Tristan seems to be itching to just get away from the place, though they can't return to the church, and it's now New Year's Day—so they head back across the border to the house in New York. Even Sariel comes along—albeit reluctantly—at Tristan's suggestion.

"To my understanding," Tristan says, "the kid's with Sera right now, which I'm cool with. I was a bit rough on him, so he might be sleeping it off for another little while—and like you all said, he might be a bit freaked out to see a dozen people staring at him. So let's leave him there for now. I can send you all home." He pauses.

"But if you want to come back soon . . . I can bring you back. No agenda necessary. If you don't want to come—well, let me know, and I'll try not to bring you."

I can't help it if it's true~ There's nothing I can do about that~

[mayflowered]

I know I'm not.

[playfair]

Mmmmmm... Well, I wouldn't like you as much if you were perfect.

[mayflowered]

Really?

[playfair]

Yeah... I mean, if you were perfect at everything, you'd just make me look bad in comparison. And why would you even need me around?

[mayflowered]

Well... the point anyway is that I want you around, Shuri.

[playfair]

Haha~♥ Well, that's true...

There's still the other thing though.

[mayflowered]

Wait, which part?

[playfair]

If you were perfect, you'd make me look even worse in comparison!

[mayflowered]

Do you remember all those times though.

[playfair]

...The times where you made me look bad?

[mayflowered]

Theeeee times I kidnapped people or held them hostage or made them do horrible things?

[playfair]

Of course I remember those! If you were perfect you wouldn't do those things!! Probably.

[mayflowered]

Exactly! So if there's any comparison I'm actually the bad one?

[playfair]

Yeah but you're really cool and smart and control a lot of demons, and stuff!

I think right now we balance out. But if one of us was perfect then we wouldn't anymore. Both of us could be perfect I guess...

[mayflowered]

[giggles] I'd accept that.

[playfair]

Then let's both try to be perfect together, Lucia~

[mayflowered]

I'll do my best to live up to you!

[playfair]

I'm sure we'll both do fine... ♥
