I can see certain behavior has a way of becoming repulsive to people.

I wonder, however, for the ones who judge other people if they're so free of the sins they judge others for.

Or is it a case of hiding your sins and deflecting them onto others? In order to make yourself look better in the face of others. To put on this air of strength and power while you inside know how awful of a person you can be.

It's interesting. People and their thought processes.

I'm sure that would be a waste of time.

Is it worse? I suppose you're welcome to your opinion.

1) I'm assuming "leave alone entirely" includes: no approaching in person, no attempting communication. It's almost certain that they will continue to be at the same heavenly functions, and I can't promise to prevent that.

2) Understand that I also don't control either of them. I can promise that I will do my best to prevent them from approaching or provoking you or your god, if you can promise that you will avoid approaching or provoking either of them.

3) If either of them attempts to approach or provoke you or Leo in the future, and violence is not immediately necessary in defense, I'll handle them if you contact me about the problem. If you agree to this point I will unblock your number.

Ah, with regards to point three. Please understand that lethal violence against any of them will make me your enemy, and I do not guarantee the safety of anyone who tries to protect you in that circumstance.

Would including that person in the "minimal contact" list be acceptable?

While I might understand, I would seek revenge regardless, under those circumstances.

I'm sure you understand my position as well.

Thank you, I have no interest in causing any problems with your god or his relatives. I do have one question: is this person a god or a shinki?
reformedsinner: (inner debate)

[Does he think he knew them before...?]

Well, then, it won't cause any problems if he's known as your god's son.

Although I'm not sure I would believe someone who turned up claiming to be related to my goddess, if she didn't know them.


[That's your choice, of course, Niles! But maybe be careful.]

It seems a shinki has few other choices. If we can't trust, we may as well ask to be released.

I'm surprised that he told you he knew you previously, though. Thoughts like that seem dangerous.


[If they inspire a shinki to pry -- if they make it hard not to dwell on what's forgotten and cannot return... Hakkai's had enough problems with that.

It explains Niles' obsessive loyalty, though, he supposes. The man isn't nearly so obnoxious when he's not refusing to take "no" for an answer.]

That's all right. I'm surprised I'm your choice to tell this to.

About you, and your death... I've been told that the reason we can't be told is that many shinki, if they know who they were, can fall into despair. We can't return to life. Remembering our deaths, what we left undone...

I'm not convinced I could bear it myself. The blight would be severe.

You might have more confidantes if you didn't feel people up after they tell you they aren't interested, you know.

And what if he isn't involved in your death, but you can't bear knowing how you died?

As shinki, we don't have the same freedom to feel guilt or despair as a god or a living person. If we feel it too strongly, we'll be blighted to death, and so will our god.

We have to trust blindly. I understand it's difficult.

You could at least restrain yourself to the people who respond well, you know.

Having once done a thing is no reason to continue doing it. As for myself, for instance... I'm certain I was a killer. I still would rather not kill.

You may find it helpful to think of becoming a shinki as your new life.

I also am not fond of being touched when I've said I'm not interested.

We died. In other words, the men we once were are dead. Regardless of what we do or what we know now, our old lives are over, aren't they?

This is our new life.
reformedsinner: (as a matter of fact!)

I don't particularly care about proof. I appreciate the apology, though.

It's simply how I think of it. It may be easier than dwelling on what might have been.
