one for sorrow, two for mirth
three for marriage, four for birth
five for the truth and six for lying
seven for sickness, eight for dying
nine for silver, ten for gold
eleven for a secret that shall never be told
twelve for the moon, thirteen for the sky
fourteen for the accursed unable to die
and fifteen for my heart's last desire
a new day's dawn, reborn in fire

[Izunia is silent for a good long moment, the kind of silent where you can tell that he's thinking something, very hard.]

...I won't pretend that you being an ass doesn't matter, because it does. I don't know yet how I feel about forgiving that. If you have a problem letting your temper run away with you, then mine is locking mine away and pretending it doesn't happen.

I won't pretend that it hasn't hurt. But I think that... I want to see the better person that I know is there.

So I'm not going to make a decision one way or the other about it. I want to see what you do from here on, and that will determine if I forgive it or not.

If I'm honest here? I like that response a lot better than if you had just up and forgiven me without a second thought.

[Then they're on the same page for once.]

Love is unconditional, forgiveness is complicated.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Love's also complicated, even the unconditional kind.

[founderinglight]

True enough. But it's easier to have a guideline with it.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I'm not making a love scale to go along with the angry scale.

[founderinglight]

[A chuckle.]

Not that kind of guideline, don't worry.
