I understand if it's hard to beleive, but I won't hurt him.

[beneficiary]

I am not a Seer nor do I Dream, so I cannot say if you will or won't. All I can do is promise you the outcome if you do. And do not doubt I will make it painful.

[holyposition]

With all due respect, [ which is none ] you might want to look inward on that.

Is that all?

[beneficiary]

And that means what, exactly?

Spit it out.

[holyposition]

I wouldn't dare presume to speak for the state of your conscience, Aegon.

[beneficiary]

And yet you have already alluded to something, and in doing so the presumption is there. Speak your thoughts and at least know you did not back down on that front.

( Tell the truth and shame the devil. )

[holyposition]

I'm not backing down on anything.

But the things I am told in confidence are not mine to spread around. I don't want to fight with you, but your capacity to hurt him is greater than mine.

[beneficiary]

I'm not the one fucking him, Laughlin.

Alright, keep your thoughts and whatever it is you have been told. It changes nothing; you hurt my valonqar and you will not walk away from it.

[holyposition]

You make it sound so base and ugly. It isn't.

I understand.

[beneficiary]

I do not believe it to be an ugly thing, that is you reading it as such.

Good. For what it is worth, I do hope I have no need to come back on this.

[holyposition]

It can be, when you're not careful.

If we agree that we want him happy and whole, let's not antagonize each other.
