I'd say it's nice of you to think of me, but it isn't, not really. You just want to put me through the same hell you put all your other precious little characters through. Just because I'm your own... creation doesn't make it any different.

I... appreciate that you're writing our story, but you can't take me away from it.

You can't.

There's too much to do, too much going wrong because of...

...and you know I can't leave my sister. You know that.

So why are you thinking about doing it?

[parasites]

It's a waste to try to get the Mundane to understand. They are barely rational at times.

[secondborn]

I know. I've seen it happen enough with the others she's played with. I just thought... she knows better than anyone else what a bad idea it would be, so why is she even considering it?

...Sorry, you don't need to hear all this. I don't know why I'm even bothering.

[parasites]

It is no problem. Talking about your problems is a good thing, isn't it?

... Perhaps you will be the lucky one who convinces her to be sensible.

[secondborn]

I guess.

...ha. I doubt it. Whatever she decides will be entirely of her own doing.

[singcuckoo]

As far as they're concerned, they can do anything they want with us. Protesting only makes them cackle like loons and rub their hands together with glee at your pain.

[secondborn]

Thanks for that mental image, I really needed that.

[singcuckoo]

I could do worse. You're getting off lightly, really.

Which is quite possible, you know- that they're getting off. On your pain.

[secondborn]

You're really enjoying not helping, aren't you.

[singcuckoo]

I don't think you'd like my help.

I mean, you'd probably feel better about it if you forgot her, but my study of human morals indicates that you'll find that idea repulsive.

[immortalrose]

Why can't you leave her?

[secondborn]

...Because she's my sister.

Because I'm all she has left apart from a broken world that someone else screwed up and now she has to pick up the pieces.

...it's complicated.

[immortalrose]

Is it truly so complicated, I wonder. She is your only kin and you hold a strong affinity to her.

That's quite noble yet such things truly don't seem to matter to "them".

[secondborn]

But she's the one who's writing it!

It doesn't make any sense!

[auditor]

You're a good brother.

[secondborn]

[He sighs.]

I try. It's all I'm good for, really.

[auditor]

Good brothers are good at many other things as well. I have three brothers — I would know, amico mio.

[secondborn]

Nice of you to say that to someone you don't even know.

...nice that you have three siblings, too.

[jealous.]

And what was that last part you said?

[bloodandalchemy]

You really can't argue with them. Well you can, but they pay no attention.

It's a rather one sided relationship with muns I'm afraid.

[secondborn]

I'm starting to realize that.

[bloodandalchemy]

It's better to realize things like that early, rather then later.

What plans does your mundane have for you?

[secondborn]

She was talking about sending me to this Asgard place. Don't ask me why.

[paintitfists]

You "can't leave her?"

Hah.

You'd be surprised what "can't"s you can live with when you don't have a choice.

[secondborn]

Okay fine, it's not impossible. Thank you for pointing that out.

[paintitfists]

Done being dramatic about it now?

[secondborn]

If by "dramatic" you mean "justifiably upset" then no.
