What a lofty goal. What an amazing goal. To tear down the system at its core...

Mmmhmm. [A huff.] But its certainly possible. Do you want to see that happen?

[aubins]

It's a wreckless one.

I don't exactly disagree with the finer points of the argument? Just the execution. And what it puts in harm's way.

[commedia]

Execution? So a full-on war against the system is not something you approve of.

[aubins]

When it puts me and mine at risk? No.

[commedia]

What is the other option? Sabotage? Even a god can be assassinated.

[aubins]

Politics? Choking the power hold of the Church and lessening it so it's not wide reaching? That's up to the leaders to figure out, instead of infighting their way into a country-wide brawl.

[commedia]

[who cares about politics JUST GO AND KILL A GOD]

[ac-chem]

Is there any way to turn the course of said war, then? Or do you think its already too late?

[aubins]

[ look. which route is he even on, hm? ]

Probably. Something has already shifted, but maybe not in the way everyone would have hoped.

[commedia]

[does it LOOK like i know fe3h routes, becks]

Is it something you hoped for?

[aubins]

[ hands you fe3h. also good because no one can call me out on all the mistakes i keep making whoops ]

Mm. Put a pin in that one, I'll get back to you.

[commedia]

That just makes it sound like you're going to return, sometime. Unless....hm. Your wish has to do with that situation, hm?

[aubins]

I plan on going back home. Something happened just before I got here. We'll see how it pans out.

[commedia]

Indulge all you can, then, to turn the course of history.

[A smile, as they drink.]

This really must be the chance of a lifetime.

[aubins]

[ he'll just raise his glass lazily. ]

Who knows what'll come of it. The revolution's a back concern at the end of the day, but if getting involved will stop it sooner then... worth it.

[commedia]

[They also raise their glass.]

Best of luck, hm! Though when you said "mine and my own" earlier...your people? Your country?

[aubins]

My people. Maybe my country, it'd be a small one that no one really knows about if it was though.

[commedia]

That must be stressful for you to hold all that on your back as a leader, no matter how many you have to look after.

[aubins]

It's fine. It's what has to be done.

[ he looks ... not hugely bothered. ]

I'm not completely on my own, after all.

[commedia]

Oh? You aren't the only one at the head? Then again, I guess every king has their entourage...

[aubins]

The thought of me as a king is hilarious, thanks.

[commedia]

But you're the leader of your people, are you not? Still a king, in some fashion.

[aubins]

God, no. Don't call me a king. Sometimes you just get looked to more than other people and that's less a kingship and more a weird elected pattern.

[commedia]

...Let me guess, you have no love lost for royalty.

[aubins]

I'm not inflexible. If royalty does good, then I have no issue with them.

[commedia]

...But is there such a thing as "good" royalty?
