They are perhaps two sides of the same coin... Were we in Valisthea, I am sure crew members would have begun killing one another of their own volition, simply to reduce the risk that someone would kill them first.
So I wonder which is crueler.
[ lol anyway ]
... I am not sure. But I have little desire to dwell on my guilt any longer.
[ why is his world so... bad...... humans really not proving themselves to be very good. maybe they should try sleeping in communal pools together. ]
You really do come from a place of hardship. [ zora can be petty and emotional, but he's never had to deal with this level of sabotage. ] Whenever we're free of this place, you should come visit Hyrule—I think it would be a nice change of pace! You could rest there.
[ it's a genuine invitation, but also he gently leans to rest his head atop dion's hair. still affection week in this thread. it's like being leaned on by a very large dog, his face-fin twitching like a hound's ear. ]
...I'm glad for you, my friend. Guilt can be such a ruinous thing. I know it often comes hand in hand with responsibility, but it doesn't have to.
I haven't had much opportunity to leave! I do love my home, but it would be nice to see more of Hyrule... [ he has an adventuring spirit but not the right job for it. it's okay though, lanaryu is already big and beautiful. ] There are highlands to our north, which once had a Hylian stronghold. And then Death Mountain, where the Gorons thrive amidst precious stone and magma. There are wide, sprawling prairies to our west, deserts and mountains beyond that... Even if I should live another three hundred years, I doubt I will have time to experience it all!
[ he would die in the gerudo desert ]
But you wouldn't have the sort of obligations I have, so you could journey as you please!
Are you not really the type to do this normally? [ dion doesn't seem like a prude, but maybe he's not the casually cuddly type ] It's quite soothing, I think.
[ i should've kissed sidon when i had the chance ]
It would be considered highly inappropriate among Sanbreque nobility to be so casual with affection outside of one's family or lover. [ and even then ] So I suppose it is not in my nature... But I cannot deny your point. It is soothing.
I often feel the same way—it would be irresponsible of me to be so free with my affections back home. [ he is a very tactile, social person, but even he isn't usually this overt with it. ] But here it doesn't seem to do any harm.

This place has proven to be a mercy... Despite the challenges.

You know, I thought this place was very cruel. And it is, but... you're not wrong.
[ in some cases, for some people, it is a mercy. ]
Do you feel less burdened now?

After seeing it so many times, I should love the chance to actually visit. [ bursts into tears ] Is there a land you enjoy seeing outside your domain?

In that, you are right. Rather, I feel as though it is critical in lifting the spirits of those here.

[ so he will hand out friendly hugs and kisses and whatever. with obvious playfulness, ]
So if ever you want someone to hold you, Dion, I will await you with an embrace at the ready.
