“Only right?” He repeated teasingly, appreciating the simplicity of Thane’s words for what it was. “People may come to have more burdens than even the gods might carry. If you try and take them all for yourself, who will assist you in the carrying?”
Krishna turned, angling his body as if to make the walk to Da Vinci’s lab but did not yet take a step. He wanted Thane to walk with him, so they could continue this conversation. They were already proving themselves to be absolutely fascinating.
“You sell yourself too short.” He decided solemnly, cocking his head towards the hall they needed to traverse. “Loss aside, there is much an ability like yours would be able to accomplish. Why, I think you might be in possession of a very underrated form of healing. In the absence of discomfort or pain one might be able to carry on even with terrible wounds. But it can help us reflect on why that pain is important. How we could treasure it.”
He hadn’t meant to begin lecturing, really. The words just came and Krishna made no attempt at stopping their flow.
“Walk with me, Lancer? We only need a moment to leave these for our genius, after all.” Krishna winked, starting to move.
there’s no reason to dress up their burdens , to give them a coat of new point , that never changed what they were , not truly . ‘ that your way of saying you’ll give me a hand? ’ their words stayed light and airy , laced with their own sense of humor and dryness along with them . he never weighed someone’s help alongside his own; they had no intention of sharing their burden more than they already had , not for no reason . not from lack of trust but rather a lack of desire . ‘ it doesn’t really matter though . ’ even if he stumbled , it’d be there waiting for him again && again , without fail .
picking up on what they wanted was easy and he fell into step alongside them , letting their walk start in earnest , familiar with the way even if they’re using them for a sense guidance . that interest was mutual along with a newfound sense of curiosity even he couldn’t deny having , trying to discern how much they knew and how much they didn’t , part of him wanted to test their limits and another enjoyed the company .
he arched a brow at their conclusion although showing no signs of questioning them . ‘ in a sense , maybe . ’ it’d crossed his mind more than once , the repercussions for his gift along with what it could bring and what it’d brought . they thought of their kingdom and the lands that’d fallen into his control , what his influence brought along with them . nothing made him doubt his place in history , in his legend , but all his reflection came with being brought forth now , to save the world and all it’d housed .
‘ don’t let me hog all the spotlight , how’re you liking our little paradise so far? ’ not everyone adjusted well but he guessed they’re faring better than most . if anything , they did a better job keeping it hidden than most too .
