JUDAS HONEY.....

[deiform]

Judas!

[ a bright, immediate response, though a second later it fades and he squints at the other man, looking him over a little critically. ]

Are you okay? What are you doing here? You're not a fighter. [ and he doesn't have the benefit of being, well, jesus here. ]

HUFFS

[thirtybits]

-Sure I can...!

[Don't doubt him, he can fight Romans. Okay, no, he isn't a fighter, he knows it, even if for no other reason than that he hates violence... But also because he's short and thin and just no good at it. But don't tell him that.]

I'm fine, I mean, it's not like I asked to come here, but I'm fine! What about you, are you okay, what are you doing here!

[deiform]

[ oh. umm... he pokes his fingers together a little sheepishly, teeth digging into his lower lip. ]

.. Um. Well, you know. They needed help, so..

[ jesus why can't you ever say no!! ]

[thirtybits]

...You didn't.

[His mouth hangs open as he stares in disbelief. Part of him feels he shouldn't say what immediately comes to mind, but since when can he really filter that? It just comes out of its own accord, and immediately after he does regret it.]

I shouldn't have to remind you how the last war went over!

[deiform]

[ he actually winces, curling his arms around his knees. ]

.. I don't want a war.

[ it's not like they don't both know that. ]

[thirtybits]

Well, no, me neither. Probably most people don't. At least, the people of the land don't, I'm sure. They never do. But what are you going to do, overthrow the king?

[He does not hear how passive-aggressive that last sentence comes off.]

[deiform]

I'm going to do what I can. That's all anyone can do, right? [ he smiles, small and a little tired. ] Maybe if there are enough people that don't want this war, and they're willing to unite together, they can show the rulers here that they're tired of fighting.

[thirtybits]

[Okay but that sure sounds a lot like the plan last time. At least he bites his tongue on that point.]

Well...you are good at organising people. And protests.

[The horrible sense of humour creeps in. It's a pretty ironic situation, how could it not appeal to his sense of humour. Slowly the corners of his lips turn up and he rubs the palm of his hand with his thumb. And then he has to laugh.]

I'd offer to help, but that would be pretty dangerous, huh. Actually maybe it will go well if I stay over here! You don't need an accountant here anyway, actually that works out really well!

[deiform]

[ he's quiet for a few moments, just watching judas in the feed. at last, though, he huffs a sigh. ]

Now you're just being silly. If you're here, isn't it obvious I need you?

[thirtybits]

...To stab you in the back? Most people don't work that into their plans, but whatever you say...

[There's the sheepish laugh.]

Or if you're saying it's like an RPG, then I'm not allowed to come along anymore, right?
