So, I'm bored on Sunday, Honor's been here about a week IC (either her week or everyone else's), and Akin just got his heart poked at. Time for a question meme.

(Feel free to ask multiple questions, since I can't always think of good things to ask back.)

The problem really would come down to convincing him that his own life still has value despite the fact that he's been responsible- whether directly or indirectly- for taking thousands upon thousands of other lives. Whether for a good cause, or to protect an even greater number of lives, or whatever, but in canon Sion still feels guilty and blames himself for each one. Because, well, as probably seen in Sabra, he's fairly gentle-natured at heart, so.

...he has yet to really remember any of this though. The worst he's remembered is giving orders as king to have a particular individual that was apparently a threat to the kingdom killed. Which still makes him :/ but at least seems somewhat reasonably justified.

That will probably take someone who is not Akin, even if he thinks all lives have value.

[madheroking.insanejournal.com]

Well, in Sabra he's (so far) better adjusted, so who knows. XD Though what would Akin think of that sort of reasoning, though? The whole idea of "I don't deserve to live because of the horrible things I've done" thing, that is.

[akin2squidrats]

I'm... not sure it would cut in the 'of course you do', unless Sion thought he was likely to repeat it and couldn't think of a way around it besides death. That would be an ethical dilemma for Akin.

[madheroking.insanejournal.com]

I imagine it'd be something of an ethical dilemma for nearly anyone, really. >_>;;

....on a totally unrelated note though, since certain scenes in Tiassa made me think of such things, as of now if someone in Sabra interested her enough would Tazendra consider sleeping with a non-Dragaeran? (since... not everyone in Sabra is technically human/"easterner".....)

[baddecisiondzur]

Maybe. She's still not very fond of very hairy people on a general aesthetic principle, so she'd probably find herself moved towards people who are more Dragaeran in her mind. And, while she's not Pel and his apparent reputation for having mistresses, she did seem to like a good carouse when she was working in the Phoenix Guard, so she probably doesn't have any real objection to having a lover in general, even if she admits to herself that the only man she's ever wanted to marry she cannot legally do so (and he'd say no, because Lyorn are hidebound like that).

It would probably have to happen before she gets the memory back of 'oh, yeah, bigotry'. (She's really only got two memories that has her think badly of Easterners -- she's cordial to the Warlock -- and the Fernarians could just be dismissed because they're barbarian invaders, so she's by nature prone to being ill disposed towards them. About the only other scene where she even thinks of them is a sort of spat with Zerika about Easterners living in the Empire on their way out to Deathsgate, since they apparently were never common in her barony.)

Which, I admit, attracts me for the 'what the hell was I thinking? o.O' angle, because I am a horrible player. It's kind of hard for me to figure because there's what Tazendra actually finds attractive now that she's lost a lot of personal bias against Easterners.

[madheroking.insanejournal.com]

Hahaha yeah I suppose it could be interesting to see her reaction later if she did fool around a bit. XD Though as to the question of what she finds attractive, if all else fails there's always the option of copious amounts of booze. |Db

[baddecisiondzur]

Ah, copious amounts of booze... creation of terrible decisions from all parties involved.

I shall have to ponder it. It could well be that she considers most of Sabra too darn short. Or perhaps that's not important to her.

[madheroking.insanejournal.com]

Bah, if height were related to one's skill in such matters as transpire in one's bedchambers, why, then how would Tazendra account for her dear friend Pel's escapades?

[baddecisiondzur]

Pel makes up in enthusiasm for the practice for whatever he may lack in statue.

[madheroking.insanejournal.com]

Well, so then you agree that one's height is hardly the most important factor in choosing one's partner?

[baddecisiondzur]

Well, you have nearly convinced me.

[madheroking.insanejournal.com]

Ah, then we are in agreement?

[baddecisiondzur]

So it seems we are.

I am glad to hear it.
