@bringslife asked: i'd like to be as far away from you as possible. (for that thing i posted earlier 👀)
was that .. annoyance? frustration? coming from the victor himself! it's small, yet the satisfaction sutekh feels from it is almost tangible. the god of death is, of course, of the strong opinion that he should have never been defeated; that the mistake that had resulted in such a damning failure had resulted purely out of his own faults. his fixation, his curiosity, they had been factors which he had placed above what he had known the doctor to be capable of. yet still, it had placed him in a rather .. satisfying position. to perhaps witness the little lord of time come to the full realisation that he was now, just as much as he had ever been, a vessel of death.
a vessel that sutekh had once used as a tool to spread his gift, and now a vessel that sutekh will take the greatest pleasure of tormenting. for such a being that is as capable and as established as the doctor, he knows that twisting his will to sutekh's is futile. yet perhaps .. perhaps he could assist in a wide awakening; with a focus on reality. it is, of course, the least he can do.
❝Is that so?❞ he doesn't hide the pleasure that underlines his tone. why should he? the doctor could not get rid of him, for they were anchored together. the balance between life and death. intertwined. and simply because he had not manifested until recently, did not mean that sutekh had not always accompanied him on some level. the only difference was sentience. and just how vindictive sutekh was now. ❝Let's put that little wish to the test, old friend. Go. Run to the ends of the universe. Let's us see if I can keep up.❞
