muse doesn't appreciate mundane's meme activities

[fatherandsun]

...I can't believe you put me in that kind of situation.

I can't believe you.

How can I possibly know when this mundane keeps making choices without my knowing?

I'm always left out of everything!

[thedragonking]

It is the way of things. All you can do is become strong enough to not let it faze you.

[fatherandsun]

I'm no soldier, no battle-hardened warrior. I stamp and sign documents.

Become stronger? What a joke. All of this is ridiculous.

[thedragonking]

You are the man who rose against the Merciful Goddess, Konzen Douji. You are already stronger than before.

[fatherandsun]

...

[A part of him wants to argue... but he remains silent. His expression says enough:

I need to protect him.]

[thedragonking]

[Oh, he knows. He knows far too well, especially after expecting children of his own in another of these strange dimension places.]

You will manage.

[fatherandsun]

...thank you.

It may be pointless to say this now, but..

You're not like the others. I appreciate that you seem to be able to think beyond military calling and the like.

[thedragonking]

Hm. I've had this discussion with Kenren Taishou several times, but it bears repeating; if you three had spoken to me before, perhaps I would have even joined you.

oh hakuryuu, don't be silly <3

[fatherandsun]

...

[Konzen gives him a polite bow out of respect.]

Perhaps you may yet. I highly doubt we'll escape with our lives...

But anything is better than this unending sameness.

vroom vroom? XD

[thedragonking]

[Oh heavens, he doesn't know.]

...we will see, Konzen Douji.

XD

[fatherandsun]

Ah.

[He looks off to the side, doubt still very much apparent on his face... but hope is there as well.]

We shall.

[thedragonking]

[He is silent for a moment, and then glances over at Konzen.]

No matter what happens, Heaven will change. You have shook its foundations permanently.

[fatherandsun]

[He actually smiles at this, though it is a sly smile.]

Don't you feel it was time for it?

[thedragonking]

Hmm. I'll have to agree with that.

[Is that a dragon king smile? Yup. He's a had a lot of anti-stick-up-his-ass therapy after two games.]

[fatherandsun]

[Konzen, who's never actually seen Goujun smile in all of his years in Heaven, realizes then how soft and gentle it makes the other seem. He's almost at a loss for words.]

...smiling doesn't suit you.

[thedragonking]

[There's that cold frown again.]

Oh? I'll keep that in mind.

[fatherandsun]

...but it doesn't suit me either.

[thedragonking]

I'll disagree with that, Konzen Douji. It makes you less dull.

[fatherandsun]

...

[He mutters angrily to himself at that.]

[thedragonking]

[Might be amused. Maybe.]

You truly act like that boy's father.

[fatherandsun]

...perhaps it's better he had a guardian in this place filled with those who revile him as a monster.

As for whether or not it should have been me... I'm still unsure.

It may have been better for him to have never been brought here.

[thedragonking]

Done is done, Konzen Douji. To him, there is none better.

[fatherandsun]

You don't have to tell me that!! That stupid little monkey wouldn't take anyone else if you begged him to! Always clinging on as he is... HMPH!

[thedragonking]

[Quite amused, even if he's hiding it.]

Hn.

[fatherandsun]

[And now he's all flustered and muttery.]
