It's not your fault either. It's just something that's happened.

[still hugging]

[goddamnemperor]

Not this.

And isn't hugging me uncomfortable?

[littlestdeath]

It's kind of wiggly. But not uncomfortable.

[lets go]

[goddamnemperor]

I'm all bones I'm afraid.

[littlestdeath]

You're still growing, aren't you? That's why.

[goddamnemperor]

I can't grow up.

[littlestdeath]

You can't get taller?

[THIS IS THE MOST HORRIBLE THING EVER]

[goddamnemperor]

No.

[littlestdeath]

Not even having super strength can make that easier.

[goddamnemperor]

It is what it is.

[littlestdeath]

I'll get you really tall shoes so you can be taller, okay?

[goddamnemperor]

Machika, there's no need for that.

[littlestdeath]

Oh, would you trip in them?

[mind_over_metal]

I've been informed in the past that it's a rather important one. Experience seems to support that assertion.

[goddamnemperor]

More likely I would crush them.

[goddamnemperor]

It changes nothing for me.

[littlestdeath]

Oh, right.

[mind_over_metal]

Then allow me to say it for myself.

[goddamnemperor]

Indeed.

[goddamnemperor]

I'm not one of your misguided children. Why are you here? What do you hope to achieve with me? Make no mistake. I know your intentions might be pure of motive, but not always pure of pride.

[littlestdeath]

I'll think of something better, then.

[goddamnemperor]

I'll welcome your suggestions.

[mind_over_metal]

Well, I'm in this specific location at this moment in time because I would rather not be... elsewhere.

More generally... I have no agenda with you, Leto. I want certain things, yes, because I care about what happens to you. But I have no goals to achieve, no benchmarks to reach. Sometimes I just can't leave well enough alone.

[goddamnemperor]

Ah, another fight.

Empathy. I never understood it.

[mind_over_metal]

*asking with simple curiosity*

Why not?
