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?

[imperial_ray]

So... why is it wrong?

[reverentresistance]

It's giving in to selfish desires.

[imperial_ray]

How... how is love selfish?

[reverentresistance]

It is when it's paired with, well.

Lust.

[imperial_ray]

I'm not sure I understand.

[reverentresistance]

It's not just that I care for you and I have feelings for you -- which of course I do, but...

[This is embarrassing, and guilt-provoking, and Ky feels terrible, but Dizzy does deserve to know.]

I also... want you. In ways I know I shouldn't.

[imperial_ray]

-She does deserve to know, but... it kind of goes right over her head.-

Want me? But you have me, yes?

[reverentresistance]

[Ky almost never finds eye contact difficult, but just now it's disconcerting how Dizzy can't follow what she means, how it makes Ky feel even more guilty. Still, she makes sure to keep her blue-green eyes on Dizzy's red ones.]

I mean, like kissing and that sort of thing.

[imperial_ray]

But we've kissed before and you didn't seem any different.

[reverentresistance]

I...It's like the gateway to letting myself think about other things.

[imperial_ray]

What other things?

[reverentresistance]

[This is the worst conversation to be having, really.]

Immoral things. It's my problem, not yours. Don't worry about it.

[imperial_ray]

This is really confusing...

But... will you still at least try to kiss me?

[reverentresistance]

The fact that it's so confusing to you means that I very clearly shouldn't.

[imperial_ray]

Oh... W-well, if you think that's best... But...

[reverentresistance]

There can't be a but.

[She doesn't want to have made this decision, but it's clearly the only thing that's right.]

[imperial_ray]

... What if we were married?

[reverentresistance]

Dizzy...

We can't be.

[imperial_ray]

-Now she was just getting frustrated.- Well why not?! We love each other, do we not?

[reverentresistance]

I don't think that you love me in a way that leads to marriage, Dizzy.

[imperial_ray]

Wh-... what?! What makes you think I don't?! Is how I feel for you not enough?!

[reverentresistance]

It's not...

It's not sexual.

And it shouldn't be!

[imperial_ray]

You... you... You are treating me like a child! Just because I don't fully understand all the aspects of interpersonal relationships doesn't mean I cannot!

[reverentresistance]

Perhaps you can...in time.

You don't have the experience to be an adult, Dizzy.

[imperial_ray]

I have the mental capacity of one! I learn faster than humans, even! I am physically adult as well! You won't even give me a chance to prove that I can love you as one...
