Is this character development?

[abstractart]

You say that like you think I've never been optimistic about anything...

[diluvian]

[ she just

looks at him. ]

[abstractart]

Well, I have been...

[it's not my fault everything just keeps failing anyway.]

[diluvian]

If you have been, it's not where I can see it.

[ half the time, you're on the floor. ]

[abstractart]

...okay, for a lot of the time that I've been here, I wasn't.

[diluvian]

Oh? So you admit, back in your city, you were.

[abstractart]

I'm not a totally hopeless person.

[diluvian]

Lethargy is more than half the problem, Netzach.

[abstractart]

[he can't help it-- there's a stray thought that comes up at that, it was made to break us and make us hopeless, what could we do-

with a little shake of his head, he tries to dismiss it.]

I know. I've been working.

[diluvian]

[ she brings him to the arts and craft store. ]

You wanted to do something about it, didn't you? Back there and here. Both.

[abstractart]

[holy shit

his mood visibly improves like, immediately, when he sees it.]

...yeah. And I kind of ended up doing the same thing both times, but-- the first time I died, it was in part because I didn't care whether I was alive anymore.

It isn't like that now. I was okay with dying because it was for something I believed in doing.

[diluvian]

Isn't that character development?

[ she was mean about it, but she feels like she was right. ]

[abstractart]

...yeah. Yeah, maybe it is.

[diluvian]

See? It only took more murder to let you see hope again.

[ she's being facetious. ]

[abstractart]

Man, if the unrelenting cycle of death was all it took I'd have already been the most hopeful person in the world.

[it's fine he can also be.]
