Before you think me too invasive, I'll first assure you that you're in no way required to answer

It is one and the same.

[mind_over_metal]

I suppose that I still wouldn't be sure how to answer.

[goddamnemperor]

You worry too much about changes. How is it that your regard for Erik never changes and you've clung to it. Surely, it's the same for your sister.

[mind_over_metal]

Raven will always be my sister. That will never change. Just... the others. And what community we can form for each other... I've obviously always strongly believed in the power of making your own family.

[goddamnemperor]

You worry too much. Your family will be fine. It won't be without problems, but every family has those.

[mind_over_metal]

True enough.

How has yours been settling in?

[goddamnemperor]

There's nothing to settle. She'll be running this place by the time she's through.

*a laugh of genuine delight*

Well, I, for one, welcome our new overlord.

[goddamnemperor]

Be careful of what you're welcoming. God Emperor I may be, but Ghani is... strong. She has never believed it, but it is truth.

[mind_over_metal]

Then she could perhaps be a balancing force in this environment of chaos.

[goddamnemperor]

... She is here. That's all there is to it.

*warmly*

Leto. I'm glad for you.

[goddamnemperor]

I know it. But that's not all you are.

[mind_over_metal]

Feelings are rarely that simple.

[goddamnemperor]

My feelings will be worn over in time. Like rock to the stream. Eventually, there will be no feelings, no Leto-defined... just the God Emperor.

[mind_over_metal]

*steady, not letting up*

If that is, in fact, an inevitability, it seems all the more reason to treasure what is had now. At least, from my perspective.
