[ MAYA. Maya, no, he's getting more tempted to make you stay here. Whatever that means. ]

...So are a lot of gods depending on the context.

[ He frowns. ]

Wouldn't someone who loved you ask to take you away from your friends and family? Before changing you?

[Pfft, oh that argument again.] She's not strong enough for that yet. We're supposed to help her.

But -- it's okay if you don't understand yet. I know it sounds weird at first. You just have to give it some time.

[ Okay, well gods need power, okay. ] Help her with what exactly? We're still just a couple of kids.

[ ...HE'S NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT. But he doesn't know enough yet to argue with maya :u ]

[Help her with killing the followers of the fourth god. But that's probably not going to go over so well, so she doesn't bring that up.] We get to be more than kids here.

Farkle, there's no rules anymore.

You know, Maya, I didn't mind being a kid. I got to be with you guys everyday. When we're adults we might not have that.

[ Which is kind of the thing here in its own way. ] Rules help us. Even dictators need rules.

We'll have that if we're here. Nobody can split us up. We'll be too strong.

Rules hold us back.

[ Okay, let's play hard mode. Because he knows this is stubborn Maya, hurt Maya. ] What about Riley? Lucas?

I don't think they do. The only thing that holds us back is ourselves.

[The fur around her face puffs up.]

They'll get here eventually. You came.

[She's got nothing for the other problem. She falls silent, agitated.]

...Do you really think Riley would be okay here?

[ HE'S BARELY OKAY HERE. and they're a lot alike. and he's only bokay because nothing's happened to him yet. ]

She'll need to adjust. But she'll learn to like it, I think.

[She shifts, scrambling for something more.]

I've seen unicorns here. She'll be fine.

[ Raises an eyebrow. ]

You know Riley cares more than just about unicorns.

[ Like her family and cute things and growing up and being a princess. She can't be a princess here. ]

[Okay, wow. Right in the feelings.]

....Fine. So she doesn't need to be here. I get it.

And so neither do you.

[ He knows you maya :( ]

[Maya sits back, hugging herself.]

We don't get a choice.

Then we find a way to fix things. No place is inescapable.

You don't think there's people trying that already?

It's not even all that terrible. You're not giving it a chance.

[ Did she really just say that? ]

Should you even be around me?

[Yeah. She did.]

What? Of course I can be around you. Why would you even ask that?

You're already changed, I'm not. Those don't seem to be very popular friendships around here.

It's just a looks thing. In a couple of weeks, you'll fit right in. [And people will stop trying to eat you.]

And even if you found a way to stay human, I'd still keep you around. I don't care what they think.

[ Pls to not be eaten. ]

So from what you're saying then, no, you shouldn't be around me. If a place was really great, you'd be allowed to be around your friends.

[No that's too much logic. Maya's worked really hard to not think about her beliefs too closely.]

No -- it's not like that at all! I'm just trying to protect you, you doof. Right now, you smell like a big juicy steak to like half the people who live here.

Yeah, I get that. [Because that's part of why all the people here are staring at Maya, isn't it? It's part of what's kind of more than a little terrifying to him.] What about you?

[Not that he doesn't have utter faith in his friends-- he does. And he'd never run away from Maya, he's similar to Riley in that respect, but this has to be hard for her, right?]

I... [This sounds so bad even Maya knows how bad it sounds.]

I eat enough. So it doesn't bother me. It's only bad if you're hungry.

[Uh. Yeah. That. That does sound like a thing and he quiets because there's only so many ways to answer that. And how do you answer that? Let's. Pull a leaf out of Cory's book.]

Yeah. Okay.
