[another friend!! he's a big friend. as for the rest, she shrugs. and is kind of bemused about the mention of god, for some reason. there's more than one, silly.]
Well, yes. In a sense. But they've given us the ability to do it. So I don't see why you wouldn't take advantage of it. [tilts her head...] Temenos is a cleric, you know.
but she doesn't seem to begrudge him this - she also does not... care, a whole lot, at this point in time. rip viktor she thinks you're fine but also if you want to die that's not her problem]
Not as far as I know. [shrug.] If you're really curious you can ask Temenos. He's the expert.
[a beat.]
Sacrifice isn't... needed, when it comes to the gods. They're more indifferent than anything.
[Gods being indifferent? What must it be like to watch a lesser being struggle and continue on with apathy? What must it be like to bestow upon a child a disease that'll kill him before his prime?
But it's fine. He is a science man, he does not believe in God. Not... traditional God, at least. Maybe the godliness of the natural world.]
[it's so funny to talk to people who come from canons where god is a concept and not like, there are eight of them and they exist and give us magical powers so it's really hard to be an athiest here
she nods a bit, and then:]
Sure. You shouldn't suffer if there's a solution. [that's all.]

Viktor unfortunately is so full of pessimism, he doesn't look quite convinced.]
I don't know if it's something that can be just whisked away so easily. It isn't a scratch. It's--inside me.
[HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? HE IS TERMINAL.]
And someone said people here were feeling weaker than normal.
no subject
anyway, she raises an eyebrow.]
... Well, yes. Nobody has access to anything, at the moment. But I don't see why inside you would make a difference. A body is a body.
[granted, she's not a cleric, but.]
I couldn't promise anything, but if you have nothing to lose, I don't see why you wouldn't try. Unless you want to die.

The pensive frown on his face grows. It isn't her, or her attempt to help. Sometimes, you have your own hang-ups.]
What... is the catch? Playing around with life and death when it comes to magic... There is always some kind of sacrifice, right?

I'll... keep that in mind.

Thank you.

It just depends on what the solution might be. Some of them will cause you to do wrong in the pursuit of what you thought was good.
Sorry--I'll... think about it. I do appreciate the help.

I suppose you have to decide what your freedom is worth. [but! a nod.] ... I think you'll be an acceptable roommate, Viktor.
no subject
Well, I'm glad to pass the rigorous inspection.
[Teasing.]
If you need anything, you can tell me.
no subject
[and she seems like she means that! you are now blorbo.]
I'll be back later. Take care of the room for us, hm?
