He hissed at people. And people said he was ugly.

[ Hermione, obviously, hadn't agreed. ]

People don't always make sense.

[castrationfist]

... I don't know. That does sound remarkably... human.

[It's no rain of arrows, but at least she hadn't been caged in a shop.]

[brainiest]

I'd like to believe there's better in the world - or, at least, that I can help people see it.

[castrationfist]

There is better. There is also worse. There is boundless good and horrible evil in the world in equal parts. Understanding this is one of the first steps on the Noble Eightfold Path, after all.

[brainiest]

Well, I'd much rather see the boundless good, thank you very much. I'm tired of the people I care about suffering for no reason.

[castrationfist]

Well, then. There is a lot of good right here to focus on, isn't there? It's safe here, you have a lovely Servant, good friends, your cat... It's okay to think that way, isn't it?

[brainiest]

I think so. For now, at least.

[ Good things aren't eternal, after all, but Hermione has hope. She'd fought for a long time for it, hadn't she? ]

Shall we take him back to the ship?

[castrationfist]

Ah, yes! But before that, will you allow me to do one thing? If you are willing, I can use my powers as Caster to give you a spell of happiness! ♥

[brainiest]

[ Blink. ]

You can do that?

[castrationfist]

Hm, are you underestimating me? Simply close your eyes for a moment!

[brainiest]

[ Hermione should be suspicious, she thinks, but all she does is lift her head and huff a noise before her eyes shut. ]

Okay...

[castrationfist]

[She really should be. Honestly, Caster just waves her hands in front of Hermione's eyes for a moment to make sure they're really closed, and then...

Picks up one of those fluff slugs to set it on top of Hermione's head.]

[brainiest]

[ ....

Lifting her hand, Hermione opens one eye and pats down on the slug before she makes a small, mournful noise. ]

Tamamo...

[castrationfist]

Yes, Hermione?

[She seems so proud of herself, honestly.]

[brainiest]

You're so lucky these slugs are cute.

[ And that Hermione doesn't mind washing her hair... ]

[castrationfist]

Cute and comforting, aren't they? Tamamo's wisdom is boundless, after all!

[brainiest]

Something is boundless, you're right.

[ But she shakes her head, softening as she reaches up to take the slug off her hair and hold it awkwardly. ]

At least it feels nice.

[castrationfist]

They have a soothing aura. I think they might be why this planet seems so friendly to everyone... It would be difficult for much conflict to arise when you have these cute little ones everywhere.

[brainiest]

It's a little bit like being connected to Charles, just not as nice. [ Hermione tilts her head, stroking the soft fur of the slug. ] This is their home - it must be connected to them somehow.

[castrationfist]

Ooh? "Charles", you say?

[you have her interest now.]

[brainiest]

Mhm, my friend. He has powers and he's been inside my mind - it's really nice. I care about him a lot, so it's never felt bad, just - good. Like I'm sharing something important with someone special.

[castrationfist]

[you have no idea how much self-control it is taking her to not make some horrible innuendo.]

"Been inside your mind"...?

[brainiest]

[ She doesn't think Charles will mind, since he did make a broadcast about it, so... ]

He's a telepath. It's how I've shared memories and thoughts with him even before we came here.

[castrationfist]

... Has he done this here?

[Suddenly she seems worried.]

[brainiest]

Why wouldn't he?
