But I don't want to let anyone else get hurt just because we were too scared to warn people! She doesn't have any right to kill someone because she's in a bad mood! Any more than Gamzee had a right to kill either of us!

I think it's important enough that we should speak about it with the others. Well...some of the others.

[alternia_strength]

Oh, believe me. The entire city knows she is around now. She isn't someone that requires much warning. However, I do not disagree. I think we should probably meet in the near future. This merits consideration... away from her excellency.

[bestestfurrend]

I don't think they realize what she can do, though.

But yes, yes, talking about it will be a good thing. We're going to have to be very careful from now.

[alternia_strength]

Probably not, but a public service warning would be easily misunderstood and likely set her off. I suggest personalized warnings in this regard.

What concerns me as much as anything is that ... we aren't, and the thought of it makes me shudder a little.

[bestestfurrend]

Oh, no, I didn't mean anything like that! I don't know what we can do, really.

Is everything going to be okay, Equius...?

[alternia_strength]

Yes. I am loyal to her. She is my empress and majesty, but this is also not her empire. As much as I railed against a few early on she has to accept that her power base is not here eventually. Her own existence is ... more tied to that than I am comfortable with.

My first priority is to you and the tasks of Asgard, as much as I do wish to keep pace with her needs to some extent. Without a true throne, it is...

...

I do not think merely the hemospectrum is enough to make me obey her, and I am not sure how I feel about that.

[bestestfurrend]

I know how I feel about that. I'm proud of you, Equius! You've learned that some things are just more important...

[alternia_strength]

Some things just aren't explained well with it either. I am ... willing to accept that some things matter more than one's place, but I don't know how I should feel myself...

...

I do know I will not be telling her this.

[bestestfurrend]

Mentioning anything to her definitely isn't a good idea...

But if you'd like to talk it over more with me then that would be okay, you know.

[alternia_strength]

I... likely will. I did finally speak with Aradia. it was ... awkward, but we have achieved clarity at least. I may have a few things I want to talk about.

[bestestfurrend]

Oh! Oh, that's good! I'm glad you finally sorted things out with her too!

[alternia_strength]

It.. wasn't entirely pleasant, but it is sorted out, yes. I am not quite sure what I should wish to do in the aftermath. It opens up certain possibilities I had not considered before... and I am unsure if it is better to wait or consider them.

[bestestfurrend]

Waiting a little might be better so that you can figure out how you feel about everything properly...but purrhaps we should talk everything over first! I can get a nice pile ready for us if you want.

[alternia_strength]

Yes, I think we should probably talk a little. Maybe in a day or two. I'm not entirely sure the pile's quite necessary, but why not?

[bestestfurrend]

A pile is always necessary! It's easier to talk when you're comfortable, oh yes. I'll be ready whenever you are!

[alternia_strength]

I will leave you to your insistence and preparations. We will meet to discuss weighty matters of the most pscyhological of permutations soon enough.

[bestestfurrend]

Yes yes, we'll have the bestest of chats about it all!

[alternia_strength]

[Oh god how uncomfortable it was going to be in all likelihood.]

Keep that exuberance. I will see you this evening, Nepeta.

[bestestfurrend]

See you soooon, Equius!

[Not for Nepeta, most likely...]
