Hm, I suppose you could consider it a ... "restituition price" - a blood payment, if you will, for a life stolen.

Bound... and you said oath, before. What kind of binding does an oath place on you? Do you have no choice but to obey, or can it be broken?

[bythewaves]

That would depend on the nature of the Oath, eh? By what terms you bound yourself, and to what ends.

[ Softly ] By the highest authority we swore and named them in witness, and to the worst of punishments we bound ourselves should we falter or fail. Words like that have power, Mikleo - and such an Oath should never have been spoken. But speak it we did - thrice did we swear, and so are bound. I... it became a madness. A force of its own that drove us on and on and on, past all reason. I might break it, I suppose - but I fear the Dark that would follow if I did.

[nerdeology]

I... understand, to an extent. I've never made one myself, but seraphim can forge oaths within ourselves, should we choose to. Oaths can grant someone tremendous power, but the cost can vary depending on the nature of the promise made. Breaking the oath can force a terrible price to be paid by the seraph.

Even so. It... might be alright? But... I cannot be sure. And so long as my brothers and my father's souls might depend on me not breaking it, I... dare not. Perhaps I am over cautious. But I cannot take that chance.

[nerdeology]

No, I get that. Things change when your actions will affect the people you care about. It's harder to risk it.

[bythewaves]

Thank you for understanding, Mikleo. I ... am probably overreacting, but I dare not risk anything else.

[nerdeology]

It's fine. That's a decision you can only make for yourself.

[Arguing over it would be irrelevant here, anyway- it's in the past, and it wouldn't change anything so far from home.]

good place to end, you think?

[bythewaves]

Even so. Thank you, Mikleo.
