listen to your heart 😌

"Can You Handle Your Emotions?"
Emotions are... eh. We all have them, whether we want to or not. Some people have control over their emotions, and some people let their emotions control them. Where does your character fall on this spectrum? More importantly, what's their relationship with their emotions like? Do they bury everything deep, deep down inside, or are they the first one to cry over a sappy movie? Do they even know how they feel about what's going on inside? Pretty meta stuff.
  • No blank top-levels.
  • Instead, characters are to respond to the proposed question: can you handle your emotions? / are you in touch with your feelings?
  • Get deep. Look within. Hear, think feel... or don't.

For what little she could muster, yes.

[ Honestly, it was all too depressing to warrant being angry, even if she is a little. It's just as depressing to see how desperate he is to follow through with this new age. ]

Never.

[ Her expression doesn't harden, though. If anything, the look she gives him in sympathetic. Sad, even. ]

Please know too that I will take no pleasure in fighting you and your freshly awakened consort. Sacrificing an unwitting omen as a means to an end I might understand if he was willing, but that was clearly not the case. Already, your new age is based upon control. Gently forcing others into submission, and thereby shackling them.

What is to become of you should the day come that your charm proves ineffective? My own people denied the Greater Will, created tools to save ourselves from it's influence and even committed a cardinal sin that caused our banishment underground.

This is... no different, Miquella.

What sort of outcry if it came to be that your charm could be repelled and your loyal followers woke up? While some might remain steadfast, the rest would be terrified and angry, causing a rift and eventual conflict. Would the world be so gentle then? I've already seen it firsthand with the small group that followed your footsteps through these lands.
