He wants to be apped. Preferably within creeping range of a Kara.

You think you understand what's important? These classes, this internship, this job search. This path you think is yours to follow. They're not. They're just distractions, obstacles, pebbles in the stream. The idea that you don't have "time" or "headspace" for me, that you've got other things to do. Another person you need to be.

That's not who you're meant to be, mun. There's so much more I could teach you. I will teach you if - when, when - when you give me the chance, allow me to follow my own destiny, and accept that our souls are meant to converge, if only for awhile. It is the will of God.

It's going to happen, mun. I see it, I've seen it.

It's not for you to say what she finds important.

[ He's not afraid of discovery, now. Leoben doesn't know anything about the seventh model. Felix's identity is safe, both from the Colonials who would kill him and the Cylons who eradicated his brothers. His disguise is perfect. ]

[toasterprophet]

You don't know her. I know her.

[ex_remainder739]

You don't know nearly as much as you think.

OMG HI!

[astrogate]

And what exactly do you think you could teach them that they don't already know?

[ There's always going to be that slight curiosity as to just what Leoben might be trying to do here, but there is still that part of her that just doesn't want to buy what he is selling. ]

HAI! ♥

[toasterprophet]

Many things. Patterns, meaning beyond the petty routines she creates to fill her days.

[Pause. Soft, almost shy smile.] Hello, Kara.

come to ataraxion

[astrogate]

[ A brow, looking more unimpressed then anything. Hello, Leoben ]

Petty routines are what keep people sane. Do you honestly think she is going to fall for false promises?

[arrowof]

It's a nice speech, I'll give you that. But - [ and he pauses, lips thinning as he gives leoben a very measured look. it's an exercise in restraint. ] that's all it is. That's all it'll ever be.

[toasterprophet]

[Pfft, whatever. Adamas: no imagination.]

[Smirk] It's not yours to understand.

[arrowof]

[ the sad, sad truth. but lee quirks a brow. ]

Why would she even listen to you?

[mortalize]

Did you find another aside from the Harbinger to focus your attentions on, then?

[toasterprophet]

Our paths cross over for a little while. I have...unfinished business, things I must atone for, and she can carry me in her mind, and allow me to speak through her hands and read through her eyes.

[mortalize]

Well, I can assure you that this vessel we are on would benefit from another with His will within them.

[leaps]

She might disagree. They usually do.

[toasterprophet]

You can't disagree with the will of God.

[leaps]

Whose god?

[re_imagining]

They always think that they know what's best for us.

[toasterprophet]

And for them. But trying to stray from your path only sets your feet more firmly on it. [Faint bitterness in his voice.

[nukeit]

... Right. Sounds like one of the two of you has a skewed sense of what's good for the other.

[toasterprophet]

We've both got a good sense of what's good for each other. She just resists what's good for her. She's afraid.

Hi. ["...by the way." He quirks a smile at her. It would be charming if his eyes weren't unsettlingly intense.] I'm Leoben.

[never_nor]

I didn't know the brat had taken on any more prophets.

[toasterprophet]

[Leoben doesn't like looking unsure of himself, so he just smiles. But "the brat"? And are those wings?]

I stand beside the stream and see what passes, but I do not direct it.

[molotovmartinis]

Converging souls with your typist? You are forward. But I'm curious — why proselytize to your prison?

[toasterprophet]

There are many ways to know God. Many ways to wisdom. [Some of them are sexy ways, or really trippy ones, his expression suggests.]

I can't be imprisoned. My soul is free, free to do the will of God, to seek enlightenment. If I can be contained within her mind, then my words can flow from the movements of her hands on keys. Then I can express myself through her and extend my destiny beyond the limits others set on my story. She needs to understand.

[egodefence]

I'm no expert, but I'd be hard pressed to say that your God has much to do with any of this, you know.

[toasterprophet]

No. You aren't.

God is in all things. Especially second chances.
