Doing work isn't a distraction, it's just doing work. What were you actually doing at his place that was so important?

[Yeah, he's going to air the fact he doesn't believe the previous explanations.]

It is if you don't want to spend a dozen hours straight on it.

So it was a little bit of the project and then to play for a little while.

[ Meanwhile he's figuring that Shun just didn't read the other threads, not that this was an issue of disbelief. ]

If there's a dozen hours of work to be done on it, then it might as well get done.

And I suppose you're expecting people to believe the excuse you put out in the other threads.

Because I'm only allowed one cup of coffee a day.

Excuse?
Oh. The sex isn't some excuse. It's just what was happening before. I figured he was that tired and slept some of it off too. Then he wouldn't wake up even after that. Leading us to now and this post.

It's your own fault if you can't keep yourself awake that long.

Saying it more times isn't going to make me any more likely to believe it. I might not know you well, but I do know Lavi, and he's not the type to get into a relationship with someone who's been here maybe a month.

[This would be going a lot worse if it was an in-person conversation - at least like this Shun can't threaten violence for what he's for now perceiving as slights against a friend of his.]

It's not about being awake. It gets tiring to constantly call on things stuck in your head and having to stay focused on it. You wouldn't get it.

[ Which isn't a comment against Shun or anything. Whatever it is that's in his head, giving him all these magic formulas, is weird and tries to pull you in a lot of directions at once. ]

I only told you once, and I don't really care enough to try and make people believe it. It's not that important. Sure, you probably know Lavi better, but I'm probably one of the few that brought up casual sex to know that side of him. It's not really a relationship though. Don't get those things mixed up.

Maybe not, but it's still stupid to call it a distraction.

[And it's...almost weirder to him to hear that there was apparently no relationship involved. He still doesn't believe it one way or the other, but it's not something he would have expected Lavi to accept even then.]

Then I'll put it another way: He's not the type to trust someone enough to do that with them after a month. Only an idiot lets someone they don't trust that close. [It speaks to Shun having a high opinion of Lavi, if nothing else.]

It is when you're wanting more than just that to go on. I'm not just some dispensary of information to take from.

[ And his room has everything else he's written down, to serve as cross reference material and more things to finish up and 'solve.' Which he doesn't always want to do. ]

I don't know if I'd count it as something that needs trust or to be close. It's kind of clear that it doesn't really matter what I'm gonna say about it, though. You don't know or have any opinion of me at all. Whenever he wakes up again, you can just ask Lavi if it's true and to explain it all if you want.

We can just go on with you not believing that and moving on without it being the focus of things. Unless you want to argue about Lavi's honor or whatever.

That's just sounding like you need to do more of a different kind of work, then.

[While Judar is right about it not mattering what he says since Shun doesn't care about his opinion, the first thing he says there speaks more of what he considers a problem here than the rest of it.]

I meant letting someone close literally. You don't let people you don't trust see that kind of weakness.

But I'd rather talk to him about it. Though if it is true, plastering it all over the network where anyone can see it isn't going to go down well with him. [It's that direction to ask Lavi, more than anything, that puts a slight dent in the disbelief, because Shun doubts he's ever come off as the type that wouldn't follow up on something he won't just take someone's word for.] He could be like that for a while, though. I've seen people in that condition for weeks at a time.

[Not mentioning one of those people is one of his shinki, who's still in that condition.]

All over. Right. Well, if he's upset about it then I'll deal with that when he's awake again.

[ Oh, he has no doubt that Shun, Mr 'Doesn't trust gifts,' would follow up on all of this himself no matter what he said. However he's not bothered by that, or whatever cleanup there may be after this is over and Lavi's awake again. At least he tried to be tactful in most of the threads. ]

When you say people, you mean shinki as well, right? Someone else was going on about how it was probably a way to experience one's home, but backtracked a little after I said it was a shinki because he only knew gods doing that.

It's in public threads on a post announcing he's incapacitated, which anyone who gives a damn about him is going to read.

[He considers that "all over" enough for anyone who doesn't want their sex life aired to half the Far Shore.]

I've seen it happen with shinki, so it can be both. But shinki wouldn't remember anything outside here anyway, so it's probably something else when it comes to them.

[Not to mention they should be too dead to be experiencing anything back home.]

I feel like this is a risk Lavi chose to take.

[ It's too late to go back on anything he's done or said, so he's not going to be regretful about his actions. ]

Well, if it's bad or traumatic enough with whatever's happening, his god should feel it, right? So whatever's happening should be fine enough by that logic. She seems like the type that would be replying with more panic.

Or he didn't know you well enough to know you were a loudmouth.

Not necessarily. I never heard anything from his god when he disappeared for a few days and turned up again in front of an underworld gate a few months back.

Nah, he should've figured some of those things out beforehand.

Well, he must have bad taste then. Being so fond of a god that obviously doesn't care that much about him and the choices he's made involving me. Who knows what else!

If you say that in front of him I can't imagine he'll make that mistake with you again. He's protective about his god. But if we're talking about you, then he definitely has bad taste.

I just wrote that based off of how you made it seem.

But yeah, sure. Consider me a sign of bad taste if you want.

[ He's got enough confidence in himself to not let it bother him. ]

I don't need your permission to do that.

[Translation: he's already doing it regardless of what Judar says.]

That's not about giving permission. It's just me saying that I won't give a shit if you do. That doesn't really affect me.

I don't expect it to, with a head as big as yours.

I won't let myself be affected by being told I'm a sign of bad taste. That counts as having a big head?

I said it wouldn't affect you because you have a big head.

[The big head is independent of the exchange they just had.]

And what made you decide to that about me?

You pretend you know about things to piss people off, you don't see the problem with considering others servants or calling gifts "offerings". You also mostly seem to care about whether you can do what you like instead of having any thought for other people.

[i.e. revealing the whole personal matter with Lavi instead of just focusing on the fact that he hadn't woken up.]

Why would I see a problem with some people being considered servants? It's not like I'm calling them slaves. If they're all dressed the same, seem to hide any signs of personality and just stick to their orders, my first thought is that they're one of the two.

It's not like I consider all gifts 'offerings' either.

[ At this point it's just a sign of the kind of times and culture he grew up in. The rest he's not arguing or refuting because... It's not entirely wrong? ]

You were acting like others should see it the same way you do. And that's not how the newcomer shinki are anyway, so the comment was stupid in the first place if that was your reasoning.

I see you're not arguing the last thing, which is the biggest problem anyway.
