--It isn't that I don't have pride in what you might accomplish, if you were making a choice to die or win! Rather, I-- I feel there are things in Peridot that have worth, more than just the ability to win every game...

If we come back to life then there is no meaning to our death. It does not devalue us.

Re: Discuss

[machiavellianiue]

There is always a meaning to death.

Re: Discuss

[boxupallthebutterflies]

It isn't always a bad meaning either.

Re: Discuss

[machiavellianiue]

It's not one I care to embrace.

Re: Discuss

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Then are you also all right with the stipulation that Peridot's death would only happen when there are no other options, or is even that too much for you?

Re: Discuss

[machiavellianiue]

I would agree to that, I believe. But would we die to win?

Re: Discuss

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Would you?

Re: Discuss

[machiavellianiue]

. . . I play to protect what's important to me. So if I were to lose Peridot in the process . . . then what would be the point? Even if it were only temporary.

Re: Discuss

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...Hmmmm. I wonder when Peridot became important to you.

Re: Discuss

[machiavellianiue]

If you have to wonder, then you clearly haven't been paying enough attention.

Re: Discuss

[boxupallthebutterflies]

You're so prickly...

...I'll accept that definition.

-- I know you and Ariel speak lightly of all you've endured, but it shouldn't be so light just because you've endured so much of it...

Re: Discuss

[boxupallthebutterflies]

I understand your position, but that's the reality of my situation.

Re: Discuss

[likeawritingdesk]

But...

Re: Discuss

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...I will keep your feelings in mind, Gil. I am simply telling you my own so that you may remember them as well.

Re: Discuss

[likeawritingdesk]

I-- I don't mean to ignore your feelings! You're such an incredible woman, with more strength and bravery than I'll ever have, and wanting to protect you is laughable, but I can't... help it.

Re: Discuss

[boxupallthebutterflies]

[...flushes a bit...]

It's really... fine. Thank you.

Re: Discuss

[likeawritingdesk]

[hgmrngbhmn .-.]

I've done nothing worth thanks...

Re: Discuss

[boxupallthebutterflies]

For your concern...
