it came to be my fears

i am what i have said

i am a danger

[droptheious]

Are you a danger right now? Did someone get hurt?

Also, I feel the need to point out that I literally burned a portion of the city to the ground like...two weeks ago, so I guess if you're getting chains for yourself, I'll have to get some for me too.

[Why yes, he is stubbornly going to How Now, Brown Cow at you, Bigby.]

[enblightened]

i ate the flesh of fellow sleepers
i did not fall to beasthood or corruption more than i already am

there is a distinct difference between us do not patronize me

[droptheious]

I'm not trying to patronize you, Bigby.

I'm just worried about you. How did it happen?

[enblightened]

when i shed
i became someone who indulged in my monster
someone who enjoyed it
and so i lured and attacked a few other sleepers

[droptheious]

So you became something you're not, because of this world. You said became, so it's over now? You're back to the person you actually are?

As in someone who doesn't indulge in his inner monster?

[enblightened]

yes
that is correct

[droptheious]

So why do you want to be chained now? You've just said yourself that you were turned into someone you're not but this place. Why punish yourself for something you wouldn't do in your right mind?

[enblightened]

and what if it happens again

i should be held back
i need to be
i cannot become that again and do it again

[droptheious]

And what if it doesn't? And you're chained and suffering? That's not fair either. You don't deserve that.
