I see. Do birds like other birds that much? I do not know much about them. If it's companionship, aren't there chao? And the corgis?
[ they are simply curious why a bird, if this is nostalgia or if this is a deeper reason or otherwise. ]
I do not believe people remain the same, but you can get a gauge of how they may be after an observation period. Heaven has never had trouble before now, but that does not mean change wasn't in order.
Some do, and some don't. Some are very social and some are quite shy, just as some mate for life and some do not. Riisha is most wonderful, as are all of the corgis! I had never seen a dog up close until I arrived here, so that was quite lovely. I suppose it is familiarity - the comfort of something you have always known, if that makes sense...? Though, far be it from me to complain! I've always felt a sense of kinship with them, as well - for some time, Hope was my only friend.
That makes sense - thank You. It heartens me so to know the Heavens look kindly upon reforming, truly. Any historian would be pleased. This was the first iteration, yes? Or were there others?
Dogs are good creatures. Very healing, usually. Would one of the doves from Whoville suffice? It is a bird. Perhaps a pair to stay together. Twice the work, but twice the companionship, I believe. What is the point of a kingdom like Heaven if some changes cannot be made? Even gods are prone to mistakes. I would like to avoid them. This project is the first iteration. All other residents inside Heaven were brought in without going through the trial.
The ones in the car are quite sweet! They are very friendly to chat with, too - Miss Eupha and I enjoyed ourselves there very much. Oh... honestly so? Your Radiance, You bless me. That would be quite lovely. I'll ensure they are well taken care of, and are able to free fly as they like, of course...
I see! Many thanks - that is good to know. I won't take up too much more of Your, I am sure, very valuable time, but I am a bit curious: Do You think You will continue it once this is over - especially considering the state of things at the moment with the entity?
You spoke to the corgis? Though they may not always stay, you will find two of them who are prone to leaving the area to accompany you. Companionship is important. As for a continuation, I have not thought of it because my focus is on the current project. Why would I look away from what I already have to think of a future when you all still seek answers?
[ backtags this audience and makes you hate me forever ♥ ]
I did! We did. They were very excited when we mentioned You, actually! It was quite charming. Sir Elderest Corgius is a fine host. Do you find companionship with them often, Your Radiance?
And thank You - that is a valid point indeed. It is much appreciated, truly. We'll keep doing the best that we can to support You as well, so if there is anything at all, we will be listening. Oh, if I go back, I cannot wait to tell Samantha of this. She will be simply over the moon.
They are good dogs. I visit them from time to time, yes. I try to check on everything, animals included. Thank you, Taair. Your focus should be your journey and your redemption. I will deliver messages as they may become relevant. Still "if"? Understandably a difficult choice.
They love You very much! Gamaliel loves them very much too, it is quite charming... I've learned much from spending time in all of their presence. The dogs and the Angels alike.
You are most welcome - it is the very least that I can do. Though... by my journey - the journey I have taken to this point here, with the end goal of redemption? Of my life? Or both?
...It is, yes. Truthfully...I feel quite selfish in considering that I could potentially not return. I fear desperately for what will become of Iria - time has continued to march on as I have spent my time here, and I'm afraid to see what the Bishop has done in - well. Perhaps I ought not speak of that to You, necessarily...
At any rate. I love my people very dearly: I do not want harm to come to them. They have suffered everlong under the thumb of the Papal States. I do not wish to be like my late mother and father were. I do not want for power or money, or any of it. But, if I must take any kind of power to help Iria, then... I would. Yet, if I return - what will I be able to do, from her cage? Will it make Iria better? Princess Innana - does she even still live? And even more selfishly... I have come to cherish my freedom. And the people here want me to seek it, too. I do not know what is better, what is worse. What is for myself, and what is for my country. What the Light of Sanctuary would call redemption, and what I might.
...I suppose that is the reflection that I am the most occupied with, in the twilight of this experience. To me, it feels like a journey... far more of one than my life was to this point.
I'm glad. They could use people to spend time with them and understand them. The dogs and the Angels alike. Your journey is your journey. While I meant the one being taken to this point with the end goal od redemption, I think that also includes your life because the events of your life have shaped you to where you want to go. I take no offense to judgments made against people who do not actually act in the name of religion and carry a false title. The fact of the matter is this. Your life has already ended and brought you to this domain. The project was meant to give you a means to try and earn a chance to return, should you wish to take it. But there is nothing wrong with deciding that this is enough. The world will continue as it were, and you could begin your next chapter here. I will not sway anyone one way or another. That is what this eight weeks has been for, to search and decide what may be best for you and see your full potential.
