[ he'll take it, swirling it around in the glass a little bit and leaning forward to look out the window. he became a monster hunter because it was the only way out of the mud of Shady Creek Run, and he became a Mercenary because it was the only way out of being a monster hunter. He'd become a god-ascendant because it was the only way out of an existence that had become too painful and difficult. it's strange, to have options. ]
I've always thought the Astral Sea would be beautiful. I'd read about it quite a bit, but it's the kind of sight reserved for the studied mages in their towers.
I couldn't even imagine it. The moon and stars play a role in our lives, but I never questioned what laid beyond them—that anything was here at all.
[ he takes a sip of his drink, looking at the stardust left where a planet was once. it's been an eye-opening journey, in many ways. it's also been an insanely long day, so his energy, while still friendly, is more relaxed. ]

[ he isn't drinking as much as holding it, but he'll take a sip after a while, tail swaying back and forth. ]
I think I'm lesser than I was. I could have been a god. I could have changed it all.
[ but he's choosing not to. so at least there's that. ]
... When I was a child, I wanted nothing more than to go to the Academy. Learn everything they would teach me. Read anything they would let me have. Magic without the sacrifice of blood.
[ he lets out a soundless little huff, good-natured humor. ]
Ambitious from the start.
[ when you have nothing, maybe it's natural to want everything. a starving child, voracious for the world. he smiles over his glass. ]
But we just killed a god, you know. [ it's clear he thinks is pretty cool, actually. he has a very cute and fun sort of bloodthirst for these things. ] Bit overrated.
...Have you ever spoken to Margaret about her dreams? She seems to think they're small, but there's nothing wrong with changing the world in a less grand way. Changing the places around you, making things a little better for your people.
