[ 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?
Trying to make me feel better? I'm touched. What a cute apprentice you've turned out to be. [ Trying to keep it light. ]
Of course I would fight back. I wouldn't be much of a hero if I didn't try to fight back.
[ They will pause in their stroll to pick up a stick. They will spin it in their fingers and it'll change into a sword. ] I have a few tricks up my sleeves.
Hmm. Perhaps I'm just not interested in leadership.
[ okay. no maybe he's a little worried. let's not bring any attention to that!
anyway! temenos watches this with mild interest, eyebrows jumping up a tic when they use their power? wow. ]
Hm. [ !! ] Useful. [ hikari would love this. he leans in a little to examine the sword... ] ...Truthfully, it'd be especially foolish to engage with one of you all. You've had more time to practice - and, we have absolutely no idea of what any of your abilities even do. Not that foolishness has often stopped anyone.
[ They will let him check it out. Just a standard double edged sword. ] Looks like I wound up giving you a secret after all. I'll give you one more as a nice little treat, dear bunny. I can turn objects into any weapon. That stays between us.
[ Holding a finger over their mouth at secret ] People can be quite foolish when they put their minds to it. I suppose there's no point in pondering it when we aren't sure it'll ever happen.
[ i'm going to be so mad if you're deathflagging me ]
No. But, phrase it like that, and you'll bring it on.
[ he looks less than amused. not that temenos mistral is one for jinxes, but the flippant handling of it is too reminiscent of his own behavior, in this moment. gods. he's going to start sounding like crick. nightmare.
hmm. not gonna think about that too much either. anyway. ] But, as I said before - your secrets are quite safe with me. Consider them confessional.
You might. He is the god of trade, if that suits your fancy.
And besides: I follow rules. Sometimes they just need to be stretched.
[ i cannot believe you gaslit me into thinking you were gonna get murdered for a week straight. anyway. temenos says this with his usual light, easy air, and gives their hand a pat when they lock their arms together. yes, let's carry on. ]
Are you a trustworthy person to tell secrets to...? [ (x) doubt ]

the second part gets a bit of a look, and an eyebrow raise. ]
Bifelgan would have a field day with your transactional nature.
[ but, this is very good natured, as is his eyeroll. ] And should I have to tell one, when you accidentally confessed something to me? Hardly fair.

You should tell one. Just in case something happens to naughty little bunnies who don't follow the rules.

[ It's what they like to do anyways. ]
I'll have you know I'm very trustworthy. For example, I haven't shared the identities of the other heroes.
no subject
[ that bar is so low it's in hell ]

I know doubt is what you do, but you should have a little faith in me.
no subject
[ says the cleric. he pats their hand. ] We'll see.
I suppose it's harmless to share something small. I've no memories of who my blood parents were.
