Is it offensive?

[purple_reign]

Did you mean it offensively?

There's nothing wrong with being human, but I... I'm not one.

[fourlevels]

[ Viktor shakes his head lightly. ]

I know you're not, but that's kind of what I mean? You look ... vulnerable right now.

[purple_reign]

...I suppose it would be strange if I didn't after all this.

[fourlevels]

What can I do to help?

[purple_reign]

I don't know if this is something that can be helped.

[ Sometimes things just suck forever!! ]

[fourlevels]

Ah, I doubt I'd be able to help with God business like that, even with super powers.

[ He gives a wry smile, waving that away with a small gesture. ]

I meant, what can I do to help you.

[purple_reign]

Oh, I...

[ This is a question that should have an easy answer. Something simple like "just be here" or asking for a quiet place to come relax when they needed it, but their mind has just gone completely blank at the question. ]

...It helps a lot just knowing you're here.

[ That's. Kind of an answer? ]

[fourlevels]

[ Not enough of one that Viktor was looking for though. ]

Just ... that?

[purple_reign]

I...don't really know. [ Still not a great answer, but at least it's more honest. ]

[fourlevels]

[ Viktor gives another smile at that at least, small and sympathetic. ]

Ah ... I know how that can be too. You think you don't need help, right? Cqan't think of anything anyone can do?

[purple_reign]

That sounds right... You sound like you're familiar with it.

[fourlevels]

Mmm. Very, unfortunately. I felt like that for years ... I can't even really remember when it started.

[purple_reign]

What finally shook you out of it?

[fourlevels]

Yuuri.

[ The smile he had turns softer, losing the wry edge it had before. ]

Or more specifically, the opportunity for change that he presented unknowingly.

[purple_reign]

Ah... You got lucky then. [ Not a situation Inanna could hope to replicate easily. ]

[fourlevels]

You don't think you can change while you're here? Or that change can happen?

[purple_reign]

[ Inanna frowns and looks away, brow pinched uncomfortably. ]

I know it can, but I... I don't know if it will be a good change.

[fourlevels]

[ Viktor tilts his head slightly, watching Inanna's face. ]

How do you mean?

[purple_reign]

I mean, I... I'm the nice one. I'm supposed to be the nice one. Why should I change that? [ Especially when changing might just mean embracing the more violent aspects of their divinity. ]

[fourlevels]

Who says that part of you would change? Maybe other parts with change, maybe you'll be even nicer than you are now.

[purple_reign]

Who says that it wouldn't? I'm the Goddess of Love and War, Viktor.

[fourlevels]

Then I'd like to see that part of you too. Because it would still be you.

[purple_reign]

[ Time to do a little mental screaming. It's a kind thought for Viktor to have, but all the thought of War brings to mind for Inanna is the memory of holding Miles' severed arm in their hands. ]

That's not something you should see.

[fourlevels]

Mmm, probably not. But that doesn't mean it isn't part of you.
