That is quite frustrating. I dislike being trapped against my will. No matter how pretty the cage.

[portolan]

Cheers to that. Though I'm starting to wonder if there's any world that doesn't feel like being trapped. Common theme, it seems.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he cocks his head at that. ]

Why would it be?

[portolan]

[ he shrugs ]

Seems almost everyone I've talked to either feels trapped here, or doesn't want to go back to a world they were trapped in.

[dothelokimotion]

Even if I could go back, I'd still choose not be trapped anywhere. A trap is no choice at all.

[portolan]

If you could go back freely, if this world suddenly opened for us to return home or go to other worlds, would you stay here?

[dothelokimotion]

Probably not. I can do better than living on some facsimile of Earth.

[portolan]

Where then, if you had your pick?

[dothelokimotion]

[ wherever thor was is his true answer. but that was a dream a child would have. he shrugs. ]

I don't know. I'm not really interested in settling. I would prefer to travel the worlds like I used to.

[portolan]

I miss that too. One world for me, but a lot more freedom in traversing it. I can see the appeal of doing so across multiple.

Must be hard being tied down. It's hard enough not having my airship.

[dothelokimotion]

It is not ideal. I can make do for now, but I am a God of Chaos. Structure doesn't agree with me.

[portolan]

I'm just a very arrogant man. But I think, perhaps, cut from a similar cloth.

[ Look how far he's come, joking about having anything in common with a god. ]

[dothelokimotion]

I don't think it's arrogance to be able to decide where you wish to go and how.

[portolan]

All the people I like don't seem to think so.

[dothelokimotion]

What do they think then?

[portolan]

Same as you I’d wager. No sense in following rules that don’t suit you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ hmm. ]

And nothing more than that?

[portolan]

[ Are they having a real conversation about this? ]

I'm not entirely convinced arrogance exists. I think it's a word people apply to those willing to carve their own path. And I'd like to flatter myself and think the people who like me generally like that about me. They certainly let me know when they don't.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps.

You don't sound all that certain.

[portolan]

I think I'm a little shaken on all my convictions lately. Except my love of tea -- that truly never wavers.

[dothelokimotion]

Well. A few shakeups benefits character. Stagnancy is never ideal.

sorry i fell off the earth this week

[portolan]

Well we are in complete accordance there. My we never be stagnant. Although, truly, I'm alright having a quiet few weeks for once.

no worries!

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose that is not a difficult ask.

[portolan]

I fear you are correct. May the quiet hold long enough for my partner and I to leave town for a few days.

[dothelokimotion]

Who is your partner?
