[she nods.]

Right. [...] But... I don't know what else we can do right now.

[undread]

I suppose... attempt to gather power in whatever avenues were made available to us.

[halved]

... You mean, finding your match. Are you going to go through with it?

[undread]

I don't know. I don't want to be tethered to someone I won't see eye to eye with, but the rewards seem worth the risk.

[halved]

That's what worries you the most? Not getting along with them?

[undread]

A disagreement might not merely not be getting along. It might be tying myself to a person who has different priorities, and who has the ability to risk me and my life for those priorities.

[halved]

Oh... Like they'd do something reckless to get what they want, and wind up killing both of you.

[undread]

Quite.

[like. not to name names but imagine your partner being karma.]

It's a risk.

[halved]

[the idea of being partners with karma puts the fear of goat god into her.]

I guess no matter how you look at it, finding your partner is a bad idea.

[undread]

Hmm. I'm not so sure. I wouldn't approach it recklessly. But if you come to find your partner is someone trustworthy...that's another matter.

[halved]

Well... The problem is, you wouldn't really know until you know, right? And by then, it'll be too late to take it back.

I suppose not. But you could get a sense, talking to someone, and stop short of telling anyone you're uncertain of.
