And your soul?

[He almost asks a different question - draws breath for it - but saves it instead.]

[vorrutyer]

Rings discordantly, like an ill-tuned bell. Though if I'm to be honest, I'm not certain of the root of the discord. Perhaps it's dissatisfied by the softness of the rest of me. Perhaps it's a true Vorrutyer soul, wants me to be more like my family. No real way to tell.

[priorly]

Oh, so your head and heart think there's no good in the world, and your soul expects you to be more of a dick about it. Forgive me, I don't mean to be rude about your internal affairs, but it sounds like bullshit to me.

[vorrutyer]

No - my soul wants me to be more proactive about it.

[ He smiles humorlessly, then shakes his head. ]

But when has someone ever had their aspects properly aligned? Even you - a heart and a soul in some harmony, but betrayal by the body.

[priorly]

Well, I didn't get a say in that. But bullshit, Byerly. No one who thought there was no good in the world would try so hard to protect it.

[vorrutyer]

Is that what you think I'm doing?

[priorly]

Do you think I've been humming showtunes while you talk? Yes. And what kind of world would have no good? Even deserts push through the odd green shoot.

[vorrutyer]

I'm protecting the interests of my home, dear Prior. Which - you've heard enough about that to know that doesn't precisely align with conventional notions of what's good. And I'm not contending that there is no good, simply that heart and mind perceive it that way. You ought to know more than anyone else about the way that perceptions and reality are not the same, hm?
