If anything could consume you, it would be the King of Heroes, and I'm hardly interested in being the man who deprived the world of Zulius.
[ it's okay. really. it's not an idea to be offered or taken lightly; something that needs to be turned, end over end, and really, deeply considered. it's like parting with an organ for someone else's benefit--life-changing, path altering.
something that you have to truly be committed to.
Zulius probably didn't ask for it, but all Gilgamesh has is a soul to spill. his guts are notable absent. ]
Perhaps it's my own tendency to keep people away that interferes with my perceptions of Vergil Vittore, but it's... a curious question. I've known him for ten years--nearly eleven, now, and for all ten of those years, he was pointedly content to keep our relationship strictly tied to business. Nothing more, nothing less. My presence was tolerable in terms of networking and securing future patronage.
Something like that makes sense to me. I'm very used to being transactional with people--you come from wealth and continue to enjoy its benefits. You've likely run into the same situation at some point, with some people. [ because the users are never as clever as they think there are--but a net can be pulled by both beings involved in the casting of it. ] So here we are, in the staging point of Vittore's meteoric rise to acting like a human being that understands the concept of bonding with people, and I'm skeptical of it.
Which makes me skeptical of him. And of trusting him so wholly with myself--which, as you know, is my favorite thing. He's frustrated with how often I draw back and reference his sharpness, but it just... makes sense. That's what he was. What he is, in a lot of ways--just because he's shifted into understanding kindness does not necessarily make him kind.
[ a pause in the rambling, a ringing, hollow laugh. ] As ever, I am my own worst enemy. I'm going to get myself killed at this rate. Isn't that funny?
