[shiftingwinds]

...I'm glad to hear that, at least. Thank you, Despair.

[probe]

[unsurprisingly, they wave that off.]

You required an explanation, and it has been provided. Was there anything else?

[shiftingwinds]

There's not really anything else I need, know. But I hope you're doing well.

[probe]

Do you believe I should not be? Save for needing to deal with many of you, the sin I represent hardly means I spend all my time weeping to myself, you know.

[shiftingwinds]

Well, no, I mean...

[a beat.]

You... do have to deal with us. I'm sure that's, um, difficult. We're all very eccentric!

[probe]

No worse than what I have dealt with in the past, I assure you. There is one singular difference, however, in that I cannot simply be rid of you as I find it necessary.

[shiftingwinds]

...ahaha, that's true. [another beat] Would... you prefer it if I left you be, then?

[probe]

You do make for less... unpleasant company than many of the others, I suppose, though it is also due in part to what you are.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh? Do you like gods better than mortals?

[probe]

I cannot say I have met your particular sort of god before, but in general- something along those lines, yes.

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha, I suppose that's fair enough! You must live an interesting life, if you're familiar with other sorts of gods.

[probe]

Familiar with those who are longer-lived, is perhaps more accurate.

[shiftingwinds]

I see, I see.

[a beat]

...do you and Ming-xiong get along?

[probe]

I am not particularly displeased by him. We have rarely spoken, however, so to say we get along would perhaps be a stretch.

[shiftingwinds]

He's not a man of many words, that's true. [...] I'm sure you'd get along if you spoke more, but - he doesn't often look for conversation.

[probe]

Hardly surprising-- but neither am I in the habit of pursuing those with little interest, if I am not given cause to.

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha, I suppose that's fair enough! ...well, I can't say I've got little interest - so I'll keep seeking you out to talk, until you get sick and tired of me.

[probe]

Well, you have not yet found your limits.

[a slight pause.]

Mind you, I do not encourage seeking them, either.

[she can keep messaging, For Now.]

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha! I'll try to stay within those limits - I'd really much rather be friends with you than have you tell me to go away!
