drops of jupiter.

[ so that was a lot, especially since it was keith’s first time coming face-to-face with a commander. he knows everyone must be tired and emotionally drained, but they have a lot of things they need to talk about. things that can’t wait to be sorted out. he has to collect his thoughts first, though--he’s not sure how to feel about this exactly, but he knows he’s feeling a lot of things. keith needs time to process everything, and he goes off to be alone for a little while.

eventually, michael, kayneth, ignis, camilla, and bucky bring over some food for the gang. it’s a much needed meal, and maybe some people want to eat in peace. unfortunately, keith is keith, and he thinks now is the best time to have a discussion. ]

Look, I know I’m not in the best position to say this, especially after how I acted back there. But unless anyone has any better ideas, we need to go to that lake and see the Guardian. We have to try. If that’s part of the solution to saving these people and going back home, then there’s really no other option.

[ he’s saying this with a calm head this time. he’s frustrated, clearly, but he’s speaking firmly and with nowhere near the same aggression he held earlier, back when he wanted to attack jupiter.

he doesn’t believe that he can be the leader anyone needs him to be. not here, not back at home. but it’s not going to stop him from trying to do what he feels is right. ]

And if we need someone to scope it out before we act, then I’ll do it.

[Why does she get the feeling she's going to regret this next question.]

Then what is the purpose of doing all this work?

[eudaimonikos]

[Shrug] Fun? Reputation?

I mean, look - we all have our place in the system. It's just the way things are. But I'd kinda be lying if I said that's the real reason most demons have, that’s not much of a motivator.

[radiantflame]

And you? Do it all for 'fun'?

[eudaimonikos]

Don't really do it at all anymore. Like I said.

[He feels he made this pretty clear at that icebreaker activity way back.]

[radiantflame]

Did you find pleasure in your work at one point, then? I must admit, I find the business of death unpleasant, even if it is unavoidable.

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, I've never killed a single human! That happens first, you can't really do it twice.

[.....]

But yes, of course I did. Would've been a long eternity otherwise.
