It's beautiful here.

[she seems very genuine about that. it's so chaotic and kind of scary, but there's something she loves about that.]

Be careful what you drink, of course. Not always wise to accept a cup in a place like this.

[midway]

It is. I wouldn't mind spending the entire day here.

[ Sitting down, idly looking at the tea. ]

Well, the effects can be... interesting, sure. But at least they're not deadly. You seem fairly relaxed, in any case.

[sacredpath]

I am.

[she's not really drinking it, though, she has her own cup.]

I feel at peace, I think. I've worried for so long about things that just feel... silly.

[midway]

[ Is she high. ]

Care to share what those silly things were?

[sacredpath]

[yeah, maybe!]

I was afraid she didn't love me anymore, but now I know that she does.

[midway]

She? You mean, Shar?

[sacredpath]

I do.

[midway]

So what changed your mind?

[sacredpath]

I think the better question is why I was doubting her before. I couldn't even begin to tell you why I was ever worried.

[midway]

Are you worried about anything anymore?

[sacredpath]

I suppose I have nothing to worry about now.

[midway]

Sounds like a pretty great place to be.

[ After their weekend. Pours himself some tea. ]

Any plans for all the free time you no longer need to spend worrying?

[sacredpath]

[good. drink it and start rhyming, bitch.]

I'll occupy my time serving Lady Shar. She cannot travel to a place like this, but I'm here. I can act as her voice and her sword hand.

[midway]

[ you'd really curse me like this ]

Meaning getting people to embrace loss?

[sacredpath]

Instead of clinging to hope, wouldn't it be better for everyone to accept the situation we're in?

[midway]

Which is... that we'll die here?

[sacredpath]

Yes. And that redemption is a false promise, as is the promise of a beautiful Heaven waiting for you where you'll find yourself and be happy. It's all a lie.

[midway]

So the acceptance that you won't be happy... is allowing you to be happy now?

[ or content, close enough ]

[sacredpath]

Happiness is an illusion, but I'm at peace.
