IM Log: idk my bff inuart
Characters: Inuart, Caim
Date: This Morning
Summary: Inuart is angry over Caim and Furiae's close relationship. Caim is... surprisingly calm and comforting.
Warnings: Caim being nice?!?! None.
"Inuart" (12:10:55 AM): Caim, what is the meaning of this?
"Caim" (12:13:57 AM): What are you talking about, Inuart?
"Inuart" (12:17:41 AM): Everything. How could you have Lady Furiae almost literally in your lap while some...harlot flashes her undergarments at you?
"Inuart" (12:17:49 AM): What are you trying to do here?
"Caim" (12:18:17 AM): ... Furiae can sit where she likes. She's hardly in my lap. I couldn't work if she was.
"Inuart" (12:20:40 AM): You know what I mean, Caim. Don't tell me that you simply ignore her glances.
"Caim" (12:21:24 AM): Whose glances?
"Inuart" (12:22:02 AM): Both. Any. Either! You have the affections of two, Caim.
"Caim" (12:22:36 AM): ...... You must be kidding about Alexandra. No one knows it better than I, but she has no affection toward me.
"Inuart" (12:27:43 AM): That's debatable with the antics she pulls in the classroom. Must I be witness to such a scene every day? It's already bad enough that I have to be in a class with you AND Furiae.
"Caim" (12:28:06 AM): Look, you're not required to be in it. You can leave any time.
"Inuart" (12:33:16 AM): I'm not about to let you dictate what classes what I can or cannot take. So I lose no matter what course of action I take.
"Caim" (12:33:47 AM): I don't remember dictating anything for you. Are you still picking a fight? Why are you wasting your time?
"Inuart" (12:34:32 AM): Strange. I don't seem to recall this kind of restraint when you flew into the armies of the Empire.
"Caim" (12:35:35 AM): The armies of the Empire meant to harm my sister. There are no Empire soldiers here, except perhaps for you, but in case you haven't noticed it yet, Furiae is not the goddess here. Even if the Empire presented itself, they would have no use for her.
"Inuart" (12:47:47 AM): Don't group me with the rest of the Empire, Caim.
"Caim" (12:51:44 AM): I believe I've more than a fair reason to do so, Inuart.
"Caim" (12:52:02 AM): Only a fool of the Empire would take what they wanted and throw her to the wolves.
"Inuart" (12:53:31 AM): ...You are so incredibly wrong on so many counts. How dare you say such a thing about me?
"Caim" (1:00:19 AM): And where's your concrete evidence of otherwise? Let me recite to you what I saw. You, a man claiming to love my younger sister with all of his heart, rather than protect her from the Empire, stripped her from the one person she felt safe with, and then pushed her right into the arms of the people who were trying to kill her.
"Caim" (1:01:38 AM): You can't imagine what it's like traversing a great amount of climates and lands with an obnoxious priest who reminds you the entire way that the fate of the world rests upon your shoulders, and then get all the way to the Empire, only to find out that the only person you meant to protect is already dead.
"Caim" (1:02:20 AM): You, Inuart, had a direct hand in killing her. You are hardly worthy of a noble name, and you are nothing short of a man guilty of homicide.
"Inuart" (1:21:10 AM): It's true that I love your sister. And as much as it pains me to say it, she still grips my heart and refuses to let go. But the only person in her eyes was you, Caim. Why must you be her savior? The person whom she feels safe with? Why couldn't it have been me? Why wasn't I as strong as you? The Empire took these emotions and turned them against me, possessed me into kidnapping her for my own selfish cause. But believe me, Caim. I did not want to bring any harm to her.
"Caim" (1:23:44 AM): I can't tell you why Furiae feels the way she feels. That isn't my responsibility. That isn't my obligation. You were both like younger siblings to me. In the end, it doesn't matter how I feel about you or what I think of you. What matters to me is how Furiae feels and what Furiae wants. Meaning, if she wants to spend her free time with me, then I'm not going to stop her. If she suddenly decides that she wants to follow through with her betrothal for you, then she can do that. All that should matter to the both of us is that she's happy. Gods know that woman has had to carry the burden of the world for far too long. If anything, death was her only freedom.
"Caim" (1:25:23 AM): Mark my words, however. If, in the case she does decide that she loves you and wishes to be with you, and you wish to be with her, I'll be watching you very closely. Even if she doesn't decide this, I will be watching you and I will have others watching you. If you dare do something to harm her, I will kill you. I care very little for the rules of this establishment and even if it means my death in the process, you will meet your end along with the rest of your quivering sack of flesh at the edge of my sword.
"Inuart" (1:44:30 AM): You *are* truly something else. Only you would mock me like this. You don't even understand how much I want to be in your position. You don't even desire her affection yet you have it! You know how much I devoted myself to her. I would have never wished to bring harm upon her...And yet now you toy with me and speak of the "possibility" of her love. You even think that I would still wish to bring harm to her.
"Caim" (1:45:58 AM): Out of curiosity, since when did this become how I felt about her? I don't remember ever including my feelings about her or anyone else. In fact, I believe I'm the one who said my feelings didn't matter. What gives you a right to assume how I possibly feel, Inuart? Are you so selfish that you can hardly see past the bridge of your nose?
"Inuart" (1:55:15 AM): You're doing quite a lot of assuming yourself, Caim. It vexes me to think that you would consider me such a danger to your sister. Yes. I admit it. I was selfish. I wanted Furiae for myself and that allowed the Empire to control me that much easier. Do you also assume then that I felt nothing when I saw your sister die before my eyes? I paid for my foolishness.
"Caim" (1:56:36 AM): I believe there's as much a possibility of you hurting her as much as there is of me doing the same. You and I aren't exactly polar opposites. We both have the means to destroy that woman, which is why neither of us should be focused on how we, as individuals, feel. I won't accuse you of anything that I wouldn't accuse myself of.
"Inuart" (2:09:56 AM): We're may be similar, but our fates are anything but. I'm the outsider. I'm the one who doesn't belong. Neither with you nor Furiae.
"Caim" (2:10:29 AM): Outsider. Nonsense. It's been the three of us since you two were children and I looked after you both.
"Inuart" (2:13:54 AM): Furiae used to be my world, but she has rejected me. And you distrust me so completely. That is the very definition of alienation, of being an outsider.
"Caim" (2:16:44 AM): ...Surely you are not suggesting I convince my younger sister to feel otherwise...
"Inuart" (2:17:43 AM): No. But that's just how things have turned out, whether it was your own doing or not.
"Caim" (2:18:40 AM): You have placed me into a stalemate. I am treating you as I would treat any man seeking my sister's hand.
"Caim" (2:18:45 AM): Allow me but to say this.
"Caim" (2:20:44 AM): Furiae died, in our hearts, and in our eyes. Having her here... There is hardly a reason for me to live my nightmares repeatedly. I know only that I failed her, and will not do so again. She is more than just my younger sister, however. She is a woman who is looking for what it is she wants. She is alive, Inuart. I care so very little for who or what she chooses to associate her heart with.
"Caim" (2:21:19 AM): I could not be more at peace than knowing that she lives, even if it means spending my remaining lifetime atoning for my own failure.
"Inuart" (2:27:35 AM): ...She *is* alive...
"Caim" (2:28:16 AM): She is, Inuart. Surely you knew it the day you saw her. She isn't some phantom, some wraith of the night. Touching her, and feeling her, they are quite real sensations.
"Inuart" (2:30:50 AM): I'll be retiring for the night, Caim. I have no further words for you.
"Caim" (2:31:17 AM): I must do the same. At times, even you and I are of like minds.
"Inuart" (2:31:35 AM): ...at times.
