the turth it no longer thrills me

[scinlae]

If your greatest enemy arrived here and you had a chance to make them pay for all that they have done, knowing that their death will only be temporary, would you do it? Would you take the chance? Or would you let them live?

[ It frustrates her, not knowing what to do now that he is here. On the one hand she wants to kill him, she wants to make him suffer; for lying to her, for poisoning her, for ruining every one of her plans. (It was him! It was always him!)

Yet on the other hand... on the other hand she doesn't, some lingering feelings want to forgive him. But can she? Does she have the capacity to forgive him after everything? ]

Could you forgive them? For all the harm they have caused to befall you? For all the loss and torment?

I find myself at a cross roads with no idea where to turn, however I want to pose these questions to you Paradisa.

What would you do?

Well, I don't know. Some of the fun of revenge gets sucked out of it when they just pop back up like a daisy, doesn't it?

[scinlae]

Indeed and there in lies my dilemma.

[ MORGANA PLS. Watching people debate the value of his life will make for a really charming evening of reading, thanks loads for that. ]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

I'm all for evening the stakes, but doesn't seem worth the stigma if they won't stay dead.

Do you truly need more blood on your hands, my lady?

Morgana

[persequor]

I'd kill him. [ Every two weeks. Like clockwork. Fuck Joffrey. B( ]

[scinlae]

[ You're welcome, she'd do anything for a friend. ]

[magicus]

[ Although he's sincerely touched by the forgive option as an afterthought, js. ]

[unnaturalpause]

What would you gain by killing them except momentary relief? Would you attempt to kill them again once they were back? [How far would you take this revenge, Morgana?]

[scinlae]

[ You damn well should be. ]

[...He feels compelled to answer her. Because they've been dancing at a standstill for months now, and because...Because he has never learned how their last encounter ended. He'd never asked her, after he arrived, and she'd never volunteered the information.

Because he'd always believed he could save her from the path she'd travelled down on, and that he should have noticed she'd started it. If anything he says makes a difference- He should, despite the state of things]

I would let them live. [Because, technically, let's be honest here...He already has. ] Even if death became permanent here.

[He'd say more, but- For the moment, he leaves it. He doesn't believe she'll listen to anything he says very easily]

[scinlae]

So what am I to do then? Forgive? [ The thought makes her feel sick, despite how much part of her wants to. ]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Hell no.

You just find revenge in other, sweeter, and more permanent ways allotted to you here.

[scinlae]

My hands are already covered in it, what is a little more?

[scinlae]

[ Well that certainly makes her laugh, in a almost morbid way. ]

The options are almost limitless, almost.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Exactly. So why settle when you can wring so much more out of it?

whateva, whateva, she does what she wants

[inafadingcrown]

It means a great deal to those who still value life.

[scinlae]

That depends, revenge is tiresome work and I have already devoted too many years towards it.

[the_effect_she_has]

Will it change anything?

[Her voice is quiet.] Will it make things better? For you, and for the world around you?

[wilder]

[There's a long pause as he thinks of how to say it]

Just for revenge? No. I can't forgive him and I'm not against for eye for an eye, buuuut losing himself to his own vengeance caused it all in the first place. I don't wanna end up like that.

But...if it was to stop him from slaughtering more people? I'd try to cut him down as many times as it takes.

[scinlae]

My lady, the value of life has been diminished in this place as has the impact of death.

Morgana

[heloise]

[ Oh, Morgana, now you're just adorable. ]

I would murder them every fortnight.

Arya

[scinlae]

Without hesitation?

[scinlae]

It is not relief I seek, it is retribution.

Lady Morgana

[persequor]

He didn't.
