[too bad shess doesn't know drugs so he can't go wtf over emma's career choices

he's confused, though he doesn't have the time to sort through what he saw, as emma gets a memory of her own, with an undercurrent of concern, before shifting to shame, and then surprise and fear.]

[She blinks a few times as she looks his way.]

...Sorry. I didn't think about it.

[nonbelligerent]

It's fine. It's easy to forget about.

That one didn't seem as personal, at least.

[His memory, that is.]

[nonbelligerent]

I suppose not. It's mostly irrelevant by now, anyway.

[foodbin]

Irrelevant...?

[nonbelligerent]

It was a long time ago—a bit after the creation of the universe. A lot of things have changed since then.

[foodbin]

In a good way or a bad way?

[nonbelligerent]

... Good and bad, I suppose. That is how life is, after all.

[foodbin]

Do you want to go into it at all...?

[nonbelligerent]

[he shrugs.]

Like I said.

I'm a different person than I was back then. For one, while I may have been weak for a rakshasa at the time, I'm considered to be one of the stronger ones now, so perhaps it no longer matters that I was once abandoned for it.

Power, as well as growing up, comes with its own set of issues... but it also means I'm capable of looking after myself, and that I have a place in the world.
