[reverentresistance]

The Queen's power has to be less than God's... So why do you think He lets us be brought here? This goes a little beyond giving us free will, don't you think?

[Ky's unsure herself, but there's no way to gain certainty. She can only find out what other people are thinking, and that for some reason feels particularly important.]

What purpose are we serving here?

Comments

[imperial_ray]

Mm... Your dedication... I always admired that about you.

[reverentresistance]

That's kind of you to say.

[imperial_ray]

I've many more kind things I could say about you.

[reverentresistance]

-Ky's cheeks turn a little pink-

And I'm sure there are more that could be said about you.

[imperial_ray]

It's not really about who has more, is it? -A giggle.-

[reverentresistance]

No, of course not. I just...admire you.

-Dizzy's genuine desire to help other people, he innocence and purity...it's part of the reason Ky feels the way she does about Dizzy-

[imperial_ray]

Mm... I do not mind being admired by you, but I must admit, I'm never certain how to react.

[reverentresistance]

You don't have to react any particular way.

[imperial_ray]

Are you certain? It seems like there should be a process to it all.

[reverentresistance]

There isn't one, as far as I'm aware. Just...follow your heart.

[imperial_ray]

Well my heart is really wanting me to kiss you, right now. Is that alright?

[reverentresistance]

-That won't solve anything, but it's also tempting. Ky shrugs, more than a little conflicted.-

If you truly wish.

[imperial_ray]

... That sort of answer makes me wonder about your feelings more than my own.

[reverentresistance]

My...feelings? What is there to wonder about them?

[imperial_ray]

... I want to know if you want to kiss me.

[reverentresistance]

I do!

...I just don't know if I should.

[imperial_ray]

I'm not sure what you mean.

[reverentresistance]

It's complicated. And you're not...

It's not as simple as just wanting to.

[imperial_ray]

What is it, then?

[reverentresistance]

I don't think it's the right thing to do.

[imperial_ray]

...

Why wouldn't it be?

[reverentresistance]

Because with what we do here, the Queen might encourage a certain lack of moral values, but that doesn't make her right.

[imperial_ray]

So, wait... kissing me would would be... immoral?

[reverentresistance]

[It's not a comfortable topic for Ky even when it's staying in her head, let alone when she's talking about it.]

Ahh... Sort of.

[Which means yes.]

[imperial_ray]

-It was... really the worst way Ky could have put it, regardless. The defeat and sadness in Dizzy's voice is palpable. And she only says one word.-

... Oh.
