You were imbued with life, Nate. A certain amount of free will from whatever you believe in if you do belive in such a thing.
I was made from infernal clay. We might have something but it's not a soul. Not in the same way mortals do. We have nothing to judge after if or when we're killed.
We only are exactly what we appear.
I care for you, Nate. But do not think there are not parts of me that you do not know.
I just mean that it's easy to think there isn't much difference between us. My kind and yours.
Regardless-
You've more than earned your place in the list of people I care for- and those I would fight for. Even my own kind. So, I suppose the point matters little.
And he could be far more dangerous now that he's whole- even with Thorn's supposed influence.
Perhaps the split apart was untentional. A part of him severed by mistake- we might be cocky creatures but even we sometimes stumble. I imagine it says quite a bit that you managed to leave an impression on Thorn enough that he failed to come after you in that time apart-
As much as I loathe to suggest this- have you considered trying to separate them again?

i'm sorry, i didn't mean to be reductive

no subject
and i care about you too.
ineroth...he wasn't whole when i knew him. he was missing all the parts of himself that made up thorn
i don't think he should've been split apart like that. i don't really know what it means for him

no subject
thorn doesn't think it can be done
but if it could, i'd do it in a heartbeat. separate them, bind ineroth so that he couldn't hurt anyone
yeah. i'd do it if i could
no subject
though binding him alone while might be more of a permanent solution, might be a harder thing to achieve.
It rather depends on how much risk one would take to have the man you knew back.
no subject
that's where i am
no subject
Well...
We're speaking in hypotheticals till I meet him. Hopefully, you would not have to do such a thing. I do prefer you alive.

no subject
I imagine this whole thing is quite...hard.
no subject
i thought he was gone and he isn't
i just have to keep a tether on hope, you know? because i could get blinded by that
i have to stay rational, that's the hardest part
no subject
I don't mean to put a damper on that hope- if we can contain him. Perhaps everything will work out.
I'm just perhaps more wary of my kind.
no subject
hope is dangerous. i know that.
i don't want to have to be afraid of him, but right now i can't help it
no subject
This feeling won't last forever but for now- a little objectivity is the best thing you can do Nate.
no subject
you've already done so much for me.
no subject
Doing this and more is not a burden. Not when it comes to you, Nate.
no subject
i mean it. for everything.
no subject
I’m happy to do it.
no subject
i'll bring him to meet you?
no subject
Of course- bring him tomorrow night.
no subject
no subject
Well, summon me.

Arm around your waist and flaming sword in hand. It'll be quite the image.
