[Ky knows her last question didn't exactly go well, or get her the answers that she wanted, but this time it's not about religion, so it should go better, right?

She thinks about filtering it from Dizzy, but she doesn't need to hide from Dizzy that she's working on this, not when she'd promised Dizzy she would.]

What do you do when you know what you're feeling is wrong, in order to stop feeling it?

Just trying to focus on other things isn't working.

It is.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Unless it is the urge to kill or betray, I find it hard to believe whatever feeling you are talking about is wrong.

[reverentresistance]

Lust is still a sin.

[Filtered]

[ritsu_kouyou]

If people were not meant to feel such, humanity would have died out a long time ago. That is a stupid reason to be upset with yourself.

[Filtered]

[reverentresistance]

It might be..more acceptable if it were directed at someone who could reproduce with me.

Or could at least reciprocate the feeling.

[Filtered]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Please.

As long as you intend on having children at some point to pass along the family name, it doesn't matter if you have an interest in another woman. You just don't talk about it in polite society.

[Filtered]

[reverentresistance]

I...

[That's just so wrong. Where does she start?]

I don't intend to have children. My family name isn't one that needs to be passed along, and I would never have children when my duty is more important than a family.

[Which it is.]

And I would never do anything with someone who I don't love.

I... You seem to have a very confused idea of how this works.

[Filtered]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Not confused - different. I'm not Christian. We've already established this. I do not believe what you believe, nor am I bound to it.

If you are feelings things you have no wish to act upon, you endure them. That is all there is to it.

[Filtered]

[reverentresistance]

It's not about being Christian, it's about not wanting to fake a life with someone I don't love.

[Filtered]

[ritsu_kouyou]

I don't like repeating myself, but since you seem to have trouble listening, I shall.

If you feel something you don't wish to act upon, for whatever reason that is, you endure your emotions and control your actions. It is as simple as that.

[reverentresistance]

[They're clearly talking about different things, and around each other. Huff!]

Understood.

[Filtered]

[ritsu_kouyou]

That said, there is nothing wrong with a casual relationship where love is not required.

[Filtered]

[reverentresistance]

It doesn't seem very enjoyable to me.

[Filtered]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Have you ever tried it?

[Filtered]

[reverentresistance]

N-No! Of course not.

[Filtered]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Then you have no basis for your assessment.

[Filtered]

[reverentresistance]

I can still know what I feel.

[Filtered]

[ritsu_kouyou]

As uneducated as you are on the matter, I suppose that's true.

[Filtered]

[reverentresistance]

Thank you.

[Filtered]

[ritsu_kouyou]

So deal with it. [Akiha ends it on that.]
