Are they truly in opposition? If we were to find a path of return, you can still make a choice to stay here and avoid the fate you witnessed in that memory.
[ for now that’s their choice until I guess more lore comes out where the prism is dangerous and we should leave ]
… But I imagine you’ve been hassled some about the Prism and its dangers. A number of us can be adamant.
Dunno. Maybe that's true, but there are people who don't seem to think it's okay to let us stay here either. You guys want to leave. We want you to stay. I think that's in opposition.
[they do not reply about that second part because it is true.]
I was. [they will not deny that!] But some of you aren't so bad, and...it would just kinda suck to have you here and then suddenly be gone after this long. Especially when we don't know what would happen if you did find a way to leave.
Thank you for your care, Lord Riff... Ultimately, I can only ask for you to understand.
I can't leave Ishgard as she is, even if I trust she will stand long after my death. Those of us who wish to return home, we must try. [ ... ] I do hope, at journey's end, somehow I can come visit you. My friend traveled to the moon once... They have traveled back in time, and they intend to travel to the ends of the universe.
...the moon? [okay, well, they are going to just let that sit because sure.]
I think it's just...something we're going to have to agree to disagree. It's not like I don't understand why you guys want to go. It's just wanting to make sure you stay safe instead of risking something else just to get back out. That makes sense, doesn't it?
[ yeah... the vibe is "yeah, i don't know. you tell me." Incredulous yet smiling politely about it. Going to nod the same way Riff is. ]
You would still share with me your thoughts and feelings, even if some are in opposition to mine. The desire in you is strong and that is where it starts.
Normally, I would say you only need seek the power to protect what you wish to protect, but I do not know the Prism as well as you.
[thank you aymeric. flurry has explained the rabbits to me hei, this is a lot.]
...I never thought of it that way, but maybe that's true? I know they're not the same, but I feel like maybe some of you would at least try to understand. And that helps.
There are a lot of things I want to protect. But those things change, too. [...] Either way...thanks.

[ Aymeric. As well. Sounds very ???? as he tells this. It's okay. ]
You want to protect us, I understand. [ ... ] I do not think that is beyond your power, either.
no subject
But I do. If I can, I...want to. What makes you say that though?

Nevertheless, I believe in you.

... When those things change, your love for them would be tested, but mayhap that matters little. You can find yourself loving them all the same.
I enjoyed our chat and learning of your music.

Maybe so. [but they do seem a little more at ease, weirdly enough.] We'll do it again sometime, okay?
[and we can free ourselves of this w3 thread.]
