But just how many people do you trust? [Don’t give him that shit, Joshua. He wants to see if the answer’s any different.]
I’m not scared of lions. But…I haven’t actually met our Monarchs. I’ve just heard about them and I’ve heard good things about them. [And maybe some not good things but the good outweighs the bad so far.] I did a bunch of research and learned about Morla last fall. How do you know their kindness is genuine?
[It’s a good question. It’s one he’s been thinking about himself lately, one he hasn’t expressed to anybody else but apparently now Joshua.] There’s gotta be another way. A third option. Like…like some kind of purgatory, don’t you think? Something that isn’t saving or isn’t damning but just puts us at a standstill so we can choose the next path and wait to see what the outcome will really be. A save point. Can’t that apply to this?
[It’s not something he has an answer to and it drives him crazy. Then again, the quotes about love drive him crazier.]
…so you’re saying just to do something before it’s too late, no matter what that something is. [He sighs, rolling his eyes before letting his tongue swipe over his lower lip briefly.] I’ll think about it.
[But why think about it when this is a much more important topic? (Then again, they’re equally important whether he admits it or not.)] How do you know my place isn’t on the field? I could learn. [But he quiets again, arguments dying down as he listens.] …how can a person be ready for death if they aren’t choosing it themselves? Just tell me that.
