You are my 'leader', with very few answers to any of my questions, so I don't know how much weight I would put into it...
[ :nyeh:
anyway general distaste of authority aside he is teasing. probably. hard work sounds terrible but here we are. ]
At least. [ at least they're not in last. ] To be honest, after the events of the weekend - and the rules, I can't say that I'm feeling particularly inclined to participate. That is my, and I suppose our, prerogative, but even still.
I'm wounded. What did I do deserve such a bully for a rabbit?
[ They will clutch their chest like they were physically hurt! The drama! ]
I don't really fault you there. I've never been one to follow the rules myself. [ They tilt their head towards him. ] Most of the younger ones aren't taking it well.
While I do wish they weren't the ones there for it all, I don't think they would have fared better if they had to run around trying to put out what fires they could while all of that was happening.
[ Waving their hand a bit ] Can't really dwell on it now. We can only do what we can to make it easier, while still trying to find a way out of this.
[ i love getting not getting notifs!!!! dw!!!!!! ]
Mmn. Guide the flock, so to speak.
[ such is the nature of a cleric, of course. ]
...Let's take a walk. It may be worth chatting away from the citizenry, just in case. Have you been out to the park since it was fixed? It's quite nice.
[ They consider something a moment before stepping closer and looping their arms together. ]
I haven't had the chance yet. [ Then they think of something. Hm ] Let me borrow your arm while we do so. [ They are grinning mischievously as they say so. ] Don't worry, I'll be gentle. [ Since he's still not at 100% ]
[ It's just a nice walk in the park and nothing more ]
Was talking to someone about the gossip that usually surrounds my love life and was wondering what would happen if I spend time being cozy with some of you. Since you're a respectable man of the cloth, I'm sure temptation won't enter your heart even if I am quite the treat.
Are you implying I'm less than pure and bring this on myself? [ The betrayal ] I was thinking of getting it framed and this if you wind up making the list of potential lovers. [ He can probably tell the whole thing is hilarious to them ]
It is a worthy alibi. No one would believe your powers of seduction to be that powerful or effective.
[ mean
but he seems to also be finding this hysterical so there's that ]
I see you every day, it seems, my little rabbit. But, if you would like me to say so, I can be a touch indulgent - sure. A shepherd must attend to all members of his flock, no matter how wayward.
[ very rude. sect gets a slight raise of the eyebrow. ]
As far as I've known, sects don't tend to value that sort of thing...?
[ there's an implication there; mostly that a sect is a religious thing. there are probably the occasional sects in the faith of the sacred flame. ]
And yes, that is correct. [ assigned flock. he gives no reasoning as to why. ] I'd be happy to pick your brain for information, as that was my initial reason, but I'm willing to indulge you a little, I suppose...
You don't know many Sects then. [ newb ] I'm talking about Cultivation Sect, dear.
[ They didn't sign up for this. ] You'll find I'm not that easy to herd. Not unless you ask me very nicely. [ Beg ] You have plenty of opportunity to pick my brains if no one decides to go after either of us.
It isn't exactly a secret that you might have a target on your back. [ That's the part they will focus on. ] Then again, that child seems more focused on the Mayor than anyone else. [ So maybe it was already forgotten ]
We are just as much part of all of this as you all are. We just have the fortune, or misfortune of being the leaders. We can be targeted all the same. [ Assuming if someone decides to try it to see ]
[ Don't make that face. They will give their arm a pat. ]
It's something I've been thinking about since the rule has popped up. It doesn't specify which hero can and can not be murdered. Just that a hero can be murdered. While people pointing a sword at me isn't anything new, I do worry about the younger ones. [ Let's just put the focus on the other heroes. ]
Maybe someone else will have to be the leader? Or maybe you'll all be without one. Hard to tell.
[ if you're telling me this because someone's gonna murder rabbit im going to kill you irl ]
You are treating this awfully cavalierly. [ as if that's surprising. it's not, really, but also. also!!! ] Do you think the others of our cadre have realized this yet - and why would they go after you, in the first place? To make an example?
As I said, I'm used to people pointing their swords at me. [ They lift their shoulders up into a shrug ] I've told you, I'm quite popular in my world. I also tend to land myself in a bit of trouble now and then. [ NBD ]
I can't say for sure, but we do seem to have quite the curious lot here. They may decide to see if this whole thing will end with the death of the leaders. [ They have wanted to go after the Mayor. Rabbit isn't going to pretend they might not go for them next ]
... well. Feel at least a bit at ease: most people seem to believe that you all are just as clueless as we are.
[ something about this especially doesn't sit right, though, even with that flippant comment - thinking back to the execution makes him frown even harder, though otherwise it's kept off of his face. after all, he's talked things through with hanako, well enough, but... ]
... There are many wildcards. [ so. temenos does agree, but oh. oh he does not like that idea. after all, who is the one with blood on his hands? ] Would you fight back?

Thank you for being my test subject, dear.
[ Moving on! ]
What did you want to talk about? Did you miss seeing me already?

[ but he sighs, lightly, and pats their hand on his arm. there, there. he will comfort you, lost lamb. ]
Though, perhaps this is what someone might call logical consequences... A self fulfilling prophecy? [ don't bully
anyway. ] At any rate. We can talk information, as I always do have questions, but I don't mind to just walk, either.

[ who is the leader here ]
tags you after you go to bed
You are the one who invited me out. [ no u ] Am I part of your flock now?
