[ The woman's form is chiseled out of white marble, like the entire temple. She is dressed in robes of bare plainness, with a veil covering the top half of her face - but she is smiling, a mysterious but benevolent smile like the Mona Lisa, and perhaps that suggests she is kind.

The Goddess does not need adornments to look divine. She is perfect as she is now. ]

As it should be.

[ He says lightly, turning to inspect Merlin with mirror-glass eyes. ]

[courtmagic]

[he lets the other stare, unselfconscious and relaxed, long hair unbound and catching some light. the staff in his hands loosely held and violet eyes examining the woman, before they finally turn to see his companion. he looks, and there is a sense of being beheld, careful and all encompassing, in that look.]

Dreams are more honest than people think them to be. Every detail, every moment arranged by the mind as if to say "yes, this is it." Of course, that's when they're left perfectly alone.

[glanzenschwert]

[ As it should be - a sanctuary blessed by the divine, to protect and hold everything in order. Of course, such things are impossible in the world outside, with how chaotic things have become. If one could make such a field, it would have to be within a Reality Marble.

The way Merlin speaks is of a curious observer. There's nothing to hide here, so he lets it be. ]

What do you think, then?

[courtmagic]

I think you're rather lonely, Ruler.

[the words are blunt even though said in a sweet tone, and extending his hand over the fountain, foreign blossoms drop from his hand, to float in the water. an offering? or simply because he wanted to?]

The quiet of this place is too perfect. Why keep it that way?

[glanzenschwert]

[ -I think you're rather lonely, Ruler.

These... are not words said to him in a long while. He can't remember when he last heard this sort of sentiment, if ever.

(Though, it explains. He hasn't talked to anyone for a long, long time.) ]

... Why do you suggest so?

[ He eyes Merlin with a curious, uncertain sort of gaze - someone who does not understand, but is willing to try. ]

[courtmagic]

No, no. Don't evade my question with your own question.

[he smiles, but there's something detached in it. watching him from behind Merlin's eyes.]

[glanzenschwert]

[ A question to counter a question, and a callout to counter the counter. Ruler's eyes narrow, but not in a hostile way.

This is a dream, after all. ]

I am a servant of the divine. All things that represent Her should be perfect. To deviate from that is forbidden.

[ This he says smoothly, with a certain firmness that suggests he has never believed the opposite. To abstain from the wilder habits of mortals, to abstain from too much emotion - an ascetic, like the monks of other religions. Someone who cages himself as much as he is harsh on others ]

[courtmagic]

By her, or by other servants?

[perfection got boring. perfection meant no room to dream, no space to breathe. even Avalon varied itself to the amusement of the creatures that fled there, a pocket of the best of the world. to be lost in perfection...what a pitiable existence.]

[glanzenschwert]

My existence is her will.

[ It does not occur to him so. Even when summoned, he shuts himself away, only appearing when the Master desires his strength. It is a solitude in part self-enforced, in part unfortunate... as his manner and beliefs tend to conflict with others and push him away from them. ]

Why do you ask?

[ Do you find it curious? ]
