Yuan. Mithos-You actually trust him?

He seems genuine. He speaks the same way as he did...

But you're right. It could be a ruse, I shouldn't trust him completely.

On the other hand, if it's not...I don't know what to do about him.

Yuan

Yuan-You can't trust him at all. Believe me. Even if he is the Mithos you knew from before.

Botta

[cloakand_danger]

You don't understand. If he is truly from the time he claims...he hasn't gone insane yet. Maybe he doesn't need to.

Yuan

[spiked-renegade.livejournal.com]

But I can tell he's not. It's a feeling, I know, but...

Yuan, you have to be careful.

Botta

[cloakand_danger]

I will. But if you're wrong...if I rejected him and he truly was innocent, what then? I'll be careful, I'll watch him, but I won't reject him because of who he might become.

Yuan, you're going to get youself into trouble. Serious trouble. Please... I'm begging you to lie low.

Botta

[cloakand_danger]

I won't. I'm not giving up this chance. I'm grateful for your concern, but this...I can't just sit by.

Yuan

[spiked-renegade.livejournal.com]

Yuan, I know you're stubborn, but please, reconsider and listen to me just this once.

Botta

[cloakand_danger]

I am listening to you. I am taking your concerns under careful consideration.

Yuan

[spiked-renegade.livejournal.com]

Not carefully enough, obviously. If you were taking them into consideration you wouldn't be so set on doing this.

Botta

[cloakand_danger]

Doing what? Listening to the boy who sounds like my old friend? Trying to determine if your concern is valid, or simply overprotective? You may be right, it's a possibility - but it's not the only possibility.

Yuan

[spiked-renegade.livejournal.com]

I'm still not backing down. This is for your own good and safety.

Botta

[cloakand_danger]

I'm not a child, I'm perfectly capable of looking after my own safety.

Yuan

[spiked-renegade.livejournal.com]

I never said you were. And weren't you the one who said you lost your angelic abilities? It will be harder for you to protect yourself now, especially from him.

Botta

[cloakand_danger]

Only if he's an angel at this point. There's a possibility he's exactly what he claims, in which case you are ever-so-gallantly protecting me from a boy barely in his teens.

Yuan

[spiked-renegade.livejournal.com]

But there's also a possibility he's not and you're making a serious mistake!

Botta

[cloakand_danger]

Which is why I'm not trusting him completely, nor telling him exactly what happened after Martel was killed. Would you just trust that I know what I'm doing?

Yuan

[spiked-renegade.livejournal.com]

No, I will not. It's still too risky.

Botta

[cloakand_danger]

...If you won't trust my judgment, then I don't have anything else to say to you.

Yuan

[spiked-renegade.livejournal.com]

I do trust your judgment, just not on this! Why don't you understand?
