Because he was gifted. He was- part of the realm.

They take things they think belong to them, you know. That which comes from the other side eventually returns to it.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Gifted? A fae realm, from the sounds of it. ]

So this is the truth behind your antics.

[buildingcastles]

Antics? I didn't realize you thought I was playing up my image.

[dothelokimotion]

You certainly play to something.

[buildingcastles]

Piano sometimes?

[dothelokimotion]

[ How has no one strangled you. ]

This loss turned you into this.

[buildingcastles]

[ Truly, it is his greatest magician's trick. He raises his head, purposefully putting on a show of being carefree. ]

Are you playing psychologist with me?

[dothelokimotion]

I don't know what that is.

[ He's joking. Possibly. ]

I'm perceptive. And also, I think, not wrong.

[buildingcastles]

Well, we're all made from our experiences in some way, aren't we?

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. And this one is yours. Why you dance around, why you are careful and careless.

[buildingcastles]

Did you find something interesting out?

[dothelokimotion]

You could say that.

How deep is the wound, I wonder.

[buildingcastles]

It was the worst thing that ever happened to me. I was eight.

[Jerk.]

What was yours?

[dothelokimotion]

What makes you think I have one?

[buildingcastles]

Because you wouldn't be so interested in mine if you didn't know what it looked like.

You saw something familiar and gave chase. What is it?

[dothelokimotion]

Why not? I did say I was terrible.

[buildingcastles]

All the more reason for me to ask. Why are you terrible?

[Damn spirits.]

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps I was born terrible.

[buildingcastles]

Perhaps leaves a lot of room for doubt. Do you really think that you are?

[dothelokimotion]

Of course. Why wouldn't I?

[buildingcastles]

I dunno. Why would you?

[dothelokimotion]

I believe I answered that.

[buildingcastles]

No you didn't. You said you were a god and you have trust issues. Gods, as far as I know, don't typically assume they were born bad. So answer my question.

Why would you think were were born terrible?

[dothelokimotion]

[ The truth sits in his stomach, heavy and acidic. ]

I do not think it. I know it.

[buildingcastles]

How do you know that? That seems like a big assumption to make.
