Of course I did. More than once.

[They were armatized at the time; Sorey got more or less a steady stream of disapproval until they sorted it out.]

I get that he's worried. The malevolence that we can't quell, and the times we've gotten sick already- he wants us to be safe. But... he didn't say we. We should stay. It's been a long time since he felt the need to go it alone in order to protect me.

[That was a while ago, and he's not mad anymore, but he's still not happy that it happened.]

[It's definitely interesting hearing it from Mikleo's point of view. Dezel hasn't exactly been privy to the particulars of their relationship. Sure, they were close, and they were raised together, but it's the we part that really sells it.]

I thought he was past all that. He's always saying that we need to share our burdens. [Fuck, Zaveid was right. What a headache.] Who's going to share his?

action;

[nerdeology]

It ought to be his friends, obviously, but we can't share it with him if he won't share it with us.

[Which is... honestly the most alarming part, for him. They share everything. They always have. What's different about this time? Why is he hiding it? What's different?]

Dezel, do you know if it's harder for a Shepherd to have two seraphim of the same element at once?

[It's not spoken in an accusing tone - it's no one's fault - but that's the only thing that comes immediately to mind.]

[sylphystia]

He should at least be talking to you. You're inseparable.

[Until now. Sorey must be hiding something, but he can't think of what it could be. The reasons are obvious enough. He thinks it isn't a big deal, or he thinks he's protecting his seraphim by doing so.

Idiot.]

... I don't think so. I've never heard of something like that, and besides, we aren't fighting hellions. We're not drawing on his strength that much.

[He's not offended or anything.]

I can break the pact, but that brings in a whole other set of problems. [A vessel. Blessing a ship. Dezel's blessing.]

action;

[nerdeology]

[Yeaaaaaah let's. Let's not do that.

Mikleo shakes his head, arms crossing over his chest.]

I'm not suggesting that. I can't imagine a situation where that would be necessary.

[And it would be cruel to ask him to sever his connection to a pure vessel with how much malevolence they keep encountering.]

It's just something I'm struggling to understand. It's not like him to hide like this. When he's trying to avoid problems, he usually pretends that everything is fine.
