They should. We died defending them from the Null. If they attack again, and they will, it's not going to do them any good to have a bunch of pissed off and disabled citizens running around.
It felt really easy when I did it, but now that I know she fucked us over, it was weird. She told me to use my magic to protect everyone else here, and that was it.
Delight fucked us, sure, but it's not like she's pure evil. She's not any different than the other gods. If anything, by your logic, the other gods should be more sympathetic.
[Harlan shifts a little as she reaches for him, more out of awkwardness than discomfort. Usually, reaching for him like that means she wants to hold his hand, but then she just barely touches him and pulls away again. Man, physical intimacy is so confusing. What was that? Does it mean something? Was he supposed to do something back?
He spends another half a second puzzling over whether or not he's blowing it, but then decides: Fuck it.]
It sounds like this shit was in motion well before we got here. We're just caught in the crossfire.
[He nods, going quiet for a moment. The thought of getting home is complicated nowadays. Harlan definitely doesn't want to stay in Hadriel for the rest of his life, but there are people here that he doesn't want to think about leaving behind.
He'd like to leave, yes, but he wouldn't mind staying here a bit longer.]
I don't know either, but I'm not gonna throw my lot in with some fucking computer that thinks it's okay to call for kids to be executed.

[He shrugs.]
This time shouldn't be any different.

[But everyone said Delight was one of the nicest ones, so she's not sure what to expect from any of the others.]
I'm just afraid they're going to try to make me their fucking lackey or something.
no subject
[He's not actually as optimistic as he sounds, but this much is true, at least. It's not like Kyna has to take the first offer they give her.]
If they really give you a hard time about it, let me know. I'll talk to 'em for you.

Thanks, Harlan. I don't get how everything got so screwed up.

Assholes. I can't believe we have to defend them.

Yeah, fuck them. At least the gods want us alive.

[Maybe, anyway. He's not entirely sold on that.]
