[impiety]

Is it always like this?

Not entirely. It is certainly true that one can become... accustomed to life here. However... it is also a life which is distinctly unlike that of other worlds, with a wide variety of oddities. As such it becomes necessary to clarify which aspect of life here has drawn any given moment's attention.

I speak of the creatures that have invaded the city, the flowers that bloom from the body, and the general disarray that has happened in the last few days.

[letxequalnull]

It is not the first time similar things have happened. However, neither have these particular events occurred before.

[impiety]

You call them "events." Are they not disasters?

But I may just be nitpicking at the name of it...

[letxequalnull]

It depends on the nature of the occurrence. While I agree that the flowers blooming from one's body might well be considered a form of disaster I would not consider the recent invasion to truly be a disaster. Rather I would consider it to be a nuisance, at best.

[impiety]

Why only a nuisance?

[letxequalnull]

The answer is simple: there have been worse things to occur, here.

[impiety]

That so?

Like what?

[letxequalnull]

Floods. Invasions by a variety of beings. And these are merely the events within recent memory.

[impiety]

I see.

That must have been quite troubling.

Are you all right?

[letxequalnull]

If you mean to ask if I have suffered any ill-effects from what has come before, you need not worry.  They have been nothing that would have proven beyond my capability to handle.

[impiety]

That is what I mean.

And even if they are in your capacity, it still troubles me you were hurt.

An opinion that few would be inclined to share, were this indeed my own world.
